Odeal Welcomes the Sun with ‘London Summers’.
Fresh off a stellar start to the year — with two MOBO wins and a BET nomination under his belt — Odeal returns with a track that feels like a deep breath of warm city air. ‘London Summers’, produced by Shae Jacobs and Jack Dine, is a love letter to the capital at its best: golden evenings, spontaneous joy, and that fleeting feeling that anything’s possible.
For Odeal, the track is more than just seasonal vibes. It’s a reminder that transformation can come in short, brilliant bursts — like sunshine through grey clouds. He’s celebrating the release in style too, jumping behind the decks at Uncle Waffles’ RoundHouse show tonight, adding DJ to his growing list of creative outlets.
Born in Germany and shaped by life across Nigeria, Spain, and the UK, Odeal blends Alte, R&B, and Afro influences into a sound that’s distinct and effortlessly soulful. His rise has been fast but never rushed — rooted in real intention, especially since a life-threatening illness in 2017 changed everything. That experience birthed Ovmbr, his artistic mission and movement: Our Variances Make Us Bold & Relentless.
Following the dreamy ‘Lustropolis’ and the genre-melting Sunday at Zuri’s (with standout track ‘Soh Soh’ catching eyes from Victoria Monét to SZA), Odeal’s momentum is undeniable. Even Justin Bieber’s taken notice, featuring his song ‘Blame U’ on Instagram.
This summer, Odeal takes the stage across Europe and the US — from Afro Nation and North Sea Jazz to Austin City Limits. But wherever he goes, ‘London Summers’ reminds us that sometimes, the brightest moments are right at home.
