Jelajahi sheet piano oleh Tom Odell di Zen Virtual Piano. For an advert for Sony Bravia 4K HDR televisions, Tom Odell recorded a haunting new version of Cyndi Lauper's 1986 hit True Colours. Odell has described True Colours as a favourite and said that singing it against the picture was a pleasure, since to him the lyric holds a rare message about being yourself and taking pride in that. A cover recorded for an advert, with a singer who finds in its lyric a message about being yourself, hints at a performer who connects to songs through what they say. Tom Odell was born in Chichester, West Sussex, to a father who flew airliners and a mother who taught primary school, and he has an older sister. He began piano lessons at six and played for years before he started writing songs. At eighteen he moved to Brighton after years of piano lessons failed to win him a place at a music college in Liverpool, and he worked the Brighton circuit instead, living on burgers slathered in peanut butter from a takeaway by the pier and carrying a keyboard from one open mic night to the next. A rejection in Liverpool followed by a spell on the Brighton open mic circuit suggests a path built more on persistence than on a first lucky break, with each venue a small step toward a larger stage. Before turning to a solo career he enrolled at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and played with a band. He lived in a bedsit wedged between a hospital and a police station, which he called one of the noisiest places in the world, though it did yield a track, Sirens. After he lost his pub job and then his band dropped him, he decided he did not want to depend on other people and began performing under his own name, and at a gig in east London for about twenty people, one of the crowd happened to be a friend of Lily Cooper. A noisy bedsit that produced a song and a bandless low point that became a solo start hint that setbacks fed his writing instead of ending it, and that he made use of whatever his surroundings gave him. The 2014 Ivor Novello Awards named him songwriter of the year. He said he now tries to solve problems with the composition itself, having too often tried to fix compositional problems with production. He had always found it interesting to think of recording with just piano and voice, so he did exactly that, and it shaped the songs that were written. Monsters, his fourth album, appeared in 2021 as his final release with Columbia Records, after which he moved to a more independent route on UROK Records. A turn toward bare piano and voice and then toward independence hints at a songwriter who keeps trimming away what he feels is not essential.
