The much anticipated follow-up to the English crooner's platinum-selling, Brit Award-winning debut, Wrong Crowd sees Tom Odell continuing to mine the ruins of his love life for inspiration, but with far less maudlin results.

Unmistakably catchy piano riffs and heart wrenchingly honest lyrics form the basis of the record much like Odell’s debut, however by amplifying the intensity on the new tracks proves that maybe, just maybe, more is more.

It's all delivered with professionalism, extreme sincerity, and no fancy frills whatsoever.

Odell adds a contemporary twist, and when it’s good, it’s impressive; when it’s bad, it’s dismal.

Three years on and his follow-up probably won’t win over many doubters. But it’s a diverting singer-songwriter effort even if Odell sometimes over-reaches with his woolly concept album narrative about a troubled man.

It wouldn't hurt him to break a rule or two occasionally, to be a bit more himself and not him being somebody else's good boy. Maybe next time.

A few new moves, but still playing it safe.

Elton and Billy can only get you so far. There's some decent pop songs on here and he's still a very charming singer songwriter, but Silhouettes is an absolute stinker and the album is worse than it's predecessor in every possible way
