Tom Odell has announced the release of his new album A Wonderful Life, due out on September 5 via UROK/Virgin. He also announced a 27-date UK and Europe Arena tour which will include stops in Dublin 3Arena on October 23 and Belfast’s SSE Arena on October 24.

To coincide with the album’s announcement, Odell shares the new single, ‘Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder’. A cinematic lullaby, the guitar-led track which tells the story of a friend mired in strife and the difficulties of learning how best to help them.

A Wonderful Life will include the new single, as well as the recent introductory track and album opener, ‘Don’t Let Me Go’.

Check out ‘Don’t Cry, Put Your Head On My Shoulder’ below:

The songs on A Wonderful Life, are said to seek understanding within a human existence that is, at its core, messy and convoluted and never just one thing. “I wish I could wrap it up into a nice little bow of what the mood and the message is, but these songs are the antithesis of that,” Odell says. “To live, and to write honestly about it, is such a profoundly important part of my life now. And I feel like if I have any duty whatsoever, it’s just to continue to do that.”

The upcoming UK and Europe tour is set to kick off in Cardiff on October 21 and wrap up in Antwerp on December 4, with stops in London, Paris, Stockholm, Berlin, Milan and more along the way.

Tickets for Tom Odell’s Dublin and Belfast shows go on sale next Friday, May 30 here.
