Although the album title may be a fictional street name, the release documents real life stories of the time Tom spent living in a house in East London with his then girlfriend.
While only 27 years old, Jubilee Road may well be a career-defining record for Odell, which sees the multi-talented young artist writing, singing, playing piano and self-producing the songs.
Speaking about the album Tom says:
“I wrote this album in a house on a quiet terraced street in East London. The lyrics are inspired by the lives of the friends I made whilst living there. I recorded most the songs in the living room of the house and if I listen back closely, I can still hear the sound of the old man’s television shows coming through the walls from next door, the kids from the house opposite playing football in the street below and the sound of my girlfriend’s footsteps on the wooden floorboards above. I don’t live there anymore, my life has changed somewhat, but I will always remember the time fondly and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I did making it”.
