    Wrong Crowd is a far more sprightly affair that not only takes smart stylistic detours, it often treats malaise with a wink instead of a sigh.

    Wrong Crowd may still be driven by piano but it charts a new path for Odell. [#361, p.106]

    Unmistakably catchy piano riffs and heart wrenchingly honest lyrics form the basis of the record much like Odell’s debut, however by amplifying the intensity on the new tracks proves that maybe, just maybe, more is more.

    Just a tad more quirkiness would be welcome. [Jul 2016, p.92]

    The arresting Concrete, meanwhile, finds Odell busting out a slow jam that approaches R&B, the last thing you would expect. Most of the rest of Wrong Crowd backtracks hard, however, to the sort of house-trained, string-laden guff that gets you John Lewis ads.

    Apesar de subestimado, Wrong Crowd é um dos melhores álbuns pop de 2016 (e o melhor álbum masculino, no geral).

    I'm sure that this is his best album in career. He has done amazing piece of work; the way how he has changed really impress me. LiterallyI'm sure that this is his best album in career. He has done amazing piece of work; the way how he has changed really impress me. Literally each song expect 7 and 8 is perfect, with its stronger moments, filled with emotions. Slow songs are for me like poetry; Lyrics are incredible good; his vocal is totally masterpiece; Deserved some Grammy nominations (and maybe even award in best vocal?) this year. Expand

Sad he is underrated in America. Expand
