“...we'll definitely be stealing the rather brilliant lyric:"Go get yourself another toy, I'm looking for a man" on 'Ride Your Bike'.”
“We recommend you check out this pop star...Yes, we occasionally stumble across artists that have seemingly gone under the radar elsewhere, but hopefully that just means we have gotten in there early doors... One such artist we like is Odette Albani…”
“...here's another tune from the forthcoming album "Just Me". This one is an uptempo piece of seventies, west coast adult contemporary pop, which would go down a treat on US radio, all mellow yet catchy. Odette hasn't releases a subpar song yet, so that new album should be one to listen out for.”
“Odette once again delivers an infectious and energetic track that unites a combination of rock and country to dazzling effect. Ride Your Bike has an instantly contagious chorus that'll have you singing along on the very first spin, whilst Odette's sassy, vibrant vocals will have you bouncing in your chair in glee. Imagine if you will the 60's and 70's output of Joni Mitchell or Linda Rondstadt combined with the modern twist of Sheryl Crow or even Taylor Swift and you're in the right vicinity of Odette's sound and style.On the evidence of both Ride Your Bike And Just Listen, Odette's debut album could be something very special indeed. 8/10”
“Odette's second single 'Ride Your Bike' is an instantly catchy track with a fresh, vibrant current rippling through from start to finish...a well polished track that upholds Odette's reputation as an exciting, reputable artist with exciting things to come. 8/10”
“'Just Me'...I cannot think of too many female singer songwriters that have been successful in capturing a quality blend of music from their influences and at the same time stamping her own mark on it. Odette has done just this and if you see her album of the shelves be brave and get a copy!”
“...‘Just Listen’ is such a beautiful song to listen to and it really is hard to pick any faults in Odette as a musician and her songs and this may be the first that I have heard of Odette but I doubt that it will be the last and she has a debut album just around the corner.4/5”
“...as a first impression, Just Listen is a very good one...Memorable melodically, the track brings to mind the female fronted rock...Meredith Brooks, Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morrisette...Avril Lavigne...A fine debut. What comes next will be her biggest test.”
“As Odette Albani prepares to release her beautiful new single, Just Listen, I caught up with the saucy Italian to chat about music, life and working at MTV.”
“Italian-born Odette Albani is one of those world citizens you hear about, but never meet in real life...'Just Listen'…enjoyable, if slightly old fashioned piece of dark pop. …it won't necessarily grab you first time out, but it's worth sticking with…repeated plays unveil new layers.”
“'Just Listen'...Odette's blend of soulful expressive rock, her vocals are strong and clear, there are hooks aplenty and the chorus is an infectious sing-a-long that'll have fans of female fronted rock fans hollering along in delight...we could have a real talent on our hands...”
“ODETTE - Just Listen:.. would certainly be a number one hit if released by a major pop star. Forget all those diluted pop songs that you hear in the top 20. 'Just Listen' is a well crafted song that is a pleasure to hear. The music is spot on and Odette's voice is the cream of this release. 8.5/10”
