I don’t want to be sad anymore,” he repeats on “Sad Anymore”, jealous of, and confused by, the “happy people” as a haunting wail weaves in and out of his wavering voice. He seems desperate for connection, be it good or bad. “Come on let’s fight, don’t be polite,” he sings on “The Blood We Bleed”, in the least confrontational way. Odell was signed to In the Name Of, an imprint of Columbia Records. He was discovered by the label head Lily Allen, who remarked that "his energy onstage reminded me of David Bowie". [11] He released his debut extended play, Songs from Another Love, in October 2012. [12] He made his television debut in November 2012 as a performer on Later... with Jools Holland; the show's producer Alison Howe later described it as "a classic Later debut". [7] [13] Odell was announced as one of 15 nominees for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll in January 2013. [14] Also that month, his single " Another Love" was used by the BBC to advertise their 2013 schedule. [15] Odell's music has been used in numerous Burberry fashion runway shows. [16] He was named the BRITs' Critics' Choice Award winner, previously won by artists such as Adele and Florence and the Machine and was the first male artist to win the award, [17] and was interviewed alongside previous winner Emeli Sandé during the television ceremony in February 2013.
