Tom Odell has always worn his heart on his sleeve — and his piano. From his breakout debut Long Way Down to the raw intimacy of Black Friday, he’s spent the past decade turning emotion into art. Now, with his new album It’s a Wonderful Life, Tom has found a new gear — one that’s hopeful, honest, and quietly triumphant.

In this episode, Tom reflects on what it means to grow up inside your own music — how his creative process has evolved, what peace looks like after the storm, and why It’s a Wonderful Life marks a turning point in both sound and spirit. It’s an introspective and quietly powerful conversation about art, resilience, and rediscovering joy in simplicity.

Don’t miss this conversation where Tom opens up about:

• Working with Billie and Finneas Eilish
• How his songwriting has shifted from heartbreak to healing
• Running, therapy, and meditation — his ongoing self-work
• His thoughts on imposter syndrome
• Trading late nights for early-morning endorphins
