Odette Comes of Age on Herald
8
Australian singer-songwriter Odette soars in her sophomore release with
Herald. Throughout the album s 11-tracks, she explores themes of love, identity and heartbreak through a self-critical and personal lens, like diary entries to her present self. Informed by her mixed identity with British and Zulu heritage,
Herald is a coming-of-age album, where she sheds her past self and creates the new out of the ashes.
Herald displays growth from Odette s equally confessional debut album, 2018 s
To a Stranger. Unlike her previous album,
Herald longs less for what once was and what could have been, instead focusing on what is happening in the present. Odette still yearns on tracks like What I Know Is Not Enough and Foghorn, but with hope for a better future, while I Miss You, I m Sorry and Amends finds her releasing the toxicity of adolescence.
