‘I’ve been spending too many hours looking at my face in the mirror, just checking for a sign of the time’ croons Payton Odom in the opening of his R&B ballad ‘Conventional Wisdom’. It’s all desperately romantic from the Dallas-born, Brooklyn-based artist, with a gorgeous saxophone solo rounding off an exceptional hymn to loves lost. A little bit jazzy, a little bit bluesy, and a little bit R&B, ‘Conventional Wisdom’ shows Odom to be a very exciting new talent on the scene. We can’t wait to hear more. -HM
