Odeal Returns With The Summer That Saved Me, a Global Celebration of Freedom

Odeal continues his consistent run with the release of The Summer That Saved Me, his second EP of the year. Known for pairing personal storytelling with genre-blending production, this latest project offers a snapshot of a pivotal moment in his life.

The EP takes inspiration from Odeal finally receiving his British passport something he’d been waiting on since arriving in the UK as a child. It’s a moment that marks more than just travel rights; it’s about finally feeling a sense of belonging and freedom. That feeling runs throughout the seven-track project, both in the lyrics and in the sounds he explores.

Recorded between sessions in Spain and Los Angeles, the EP brings together a mix of Afrobeats, soul, R&B, and subtle Afro-Latin textures. It’s warm, thoughtful, and easy to keep on repeat perfect for the summer months it was made for.

Alongside the project, Odeal has also released a video for 'In The Chair,' a smooth, late-night jam that sets a relaxed, intimate tone.

The Summer That Saved Me feels like a personal release in more ways than one tapping into Odeal’s roots, growth, and his ever-evolving sound.
