Australian singer/songwriter Odette first burst on to the scene in 2017 with ‘Watch Me Read You’, an epic ballad about the complexities of processing trauma, the single landing at  No. 56 on triple J’s Hottest 100 and achieving Gold ARIA accreditation.

Follow up singles ‘Collide’, ‘Take It To The Heart’ and ‘Lights Out’ all reached Gold status whilst debut album ‘To A Stranger’ debuted at No. 13 on the ARIA Album Chart and earned Odette two ARIA Awards nominations in 2018 including Breakthrough Artist. With over 55 million streams, two sold out national headline tours, Falls Festival, SXSW, and headline Europe & UK tour under her belt.

A triumphant follow up to her critically acclaimed debut record, 2018’s To A Stranger, Odette’s sophomore album ‘Herald’, which was released as a ‘Reprise’ on September 13th, and was touted as one of the best albums of 2021 so far by publications like NME, Junkee and The Music. The Guardian called ‘Herald’ “a beautiful sonic tapestry” and Tone Deaf declared it “a serious contender for album of the year” – with accolades like this it’s no surprise that the judges of the 17th SOUNDMERCH Australian Music Prize nominated ‘Herald’ as being one of the best albums of 2021.

‘Herald’ leaves no subjective stone unturned. Love, heartbreak, grief, anger, self-analysis, accountability—you name it, it’s on there. “This album is sort of a nuanced discussion of the positives and the negatives of mental illness and also just being a human being. It talks about the realities of hurting others, the consequences of that, and even more so, it holds me accountable—it holds me to my word”, she says.
