Grow Old With Me

Released shortly after his debut full-length 'Long Way Down', the 'Grow Old With Me' EP serves as a definitive showcase for Tom Odell's early 2010s sound. The title track became one of his most enduring hits, frequently cited as a modern alternative to traditional wedding songs due to its blend of romantic devotion and indie-pop energy. Sonically, the EP is defined by Odell's percussive piano style, influenced by the likes of Elton John and Billy Joel but filtered through a post-Britpop lens. The inclusion of the KCRW MBE session highlights his capabilities as a live performer, stripping away the studio layers to reveal the raw power of his vocal delivery. Critically, the release solidified his reputation for 'emotional honesty', a trait that polarized some critics who found it overly sentimental while endearing him to a massive global audience seeking authentic, piano-led storytelling.
