Review: 'ODETTE'
'Just Listen'   

-  Label: 'Marbles Records'
-  Genre: 'Pop' -  Release Date: '21st September 2009'

Our Rating:
This is the debut single by Odette, an artist with a rich musical history but little of it at the front of stage. Just Listen is Odette's time to shine but as it contains only the one track it's difficult to get too much of a rounded opinion on what else may be in store.

Even so, as a first impression, Just Listen is a very good one. Poppy, infectious and bettered by a aparkling guitar line, there is enthusiasm here that is only enhanced by a maturity both lyrically in the songcraft. Memorable melodically, the track brings to mind the female fronted rock that became popular in the 90's and continues to slowburn in the charts to the day.

If you're a fan of Meredith Brooks, Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morrisette or even the likes of Avril Lavigne, then there is a lot to admire here. As much for fans of pop as it is for anyone of the rock persuasion, Odette deserves your attention.

A fine debut. What comes next will be her biggest test.
