Passenger

Sealing last year with his spirited release ‘OVMBR: Roses’, South London’s very own Odeal returns to remind us why we’d missed his presence in the UK’s R&B scene with passionate new single ‘Passenger’.

The seasoned musician, who is helping to pave the way for the UK’s Nigerian Alte movement, teams up with YKKUB & GG. The production lays the foundation of the track out with a sweet sounding progression of guitar chords, alongside a medley of soothing percussion, leaving Odeal to showcase his versatility as he shifts from gently woven bars to rich vocal harmonies.

‘Passenger’ tells the tale of a back and forth infatuation with a former lover of Odeal. He ponders the missed opportunities when he could have made things right, leaving him in a cloud of regret. Promising that ‘as long as the wheels keep turning’, one day they’ll cross paths once again. His ‘lighter’ may have lost its fire, but all he needs is that one ‘spark’ to reignite the romance.

This new tune cements another stellar performance from Odeal.
