Odessa to Hit the Road Across North America This Fall

Odessa to Hit the Road Across North America This Fall

California songbird ODESSA will hit the road this fall in support of her new Odessa EP [Chop Shop/Republic Records]—available digitally on September 16, 2014.

Starting September 18 at Neumos in Seattle, WA until September 21 at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA, she'll be out supporting modern folk sensation LP. Then, beginning September 24 in Madison, WI at Majestic Theatre until October 22 in Portsmouth, NH at The Music Hall, the singer and songwriter will be playing alongside genre mainstay Brett Dennen. These intimate shows are the perfect way for listeners to immerse themselves in ODESSA's warm and wondrous sound and unforgettable performances.

Odessa EP features the engaging and entrancing single "I Will Be There". Projecting an artful story through blissful guitars and endearing vocals, the track continues to amass buzz for the artist. Produced by Jacquire King [Tom Waits, Kings Of Leon], the four-song EP welcomes everyone into ODESSA's world. Take a listen to "I Will Be There" below!

The New York Times also recently profiled her in its “Style Magazine Online”. They described “I Will Be There” perfectly calling it “a plaintive love song with a lilting melody”. Check out the full feature here. Nylon also extolled her writing, “What do you get when you take the soulfulness of Lana Del Rey, the angelic, lilting chorus of Ellie Goulding, and the atmospheric hum-along melodies of Polica? Add a dash of shimmery production, and the result is the new single from ODESSA.”

Lorde Announces North American Tour Dates 2014

Two-time Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum New Zealand songstress Lorde has today announced she is returning to North America this fall. Her tour will commence in Philadelphia’s Mann Center on 09/5, making stops on the east coast, heading south, across the mid-west, and winding up on west coast at the prestigious Austin City Limits Festival in October. Sign up now for tickets via http://tickets.lorde.co.nz. Deadline is Wednesday, June 4th at 11:59PM EST. Remaining tickets will go on-sale nationwide Friday, June 6th.

Since her last North American tour -- which included stops at 2014’s Coachella Festival and an impromptu appearance on stage with Nirvana’s Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic at this year’s annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Awards -- Lorde’s critically acclaimed debut album “PURE HEROINE” [LAVA/Republic Records] continues to dominate U.S charts. Her quadruple platinum single “Royals” holds the record for "Longest #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by a Female Artist in 2013." Her previous single “Team” is her second #1 on Adult Top 40, making her the first female artist in Billboard history to rule over the AAA Radio Airplay chart with two songs. "Team" also held the top spot for four weeks and landed at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 with over 1.7 billion in radio audience to date.

In January Lorde walked away with “Song of the Year” and “Best Pop Solo Performance” awards at the 2014 Grammy Awards and has since been nominated for an impressive 12 Billboard Music Awards and took home awards for “Best New Artist” and “Best Rock Song” for her debut single “Royals”

Lorde also performed her current single “Tennis Court” for the very first time on national television at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, held in Las Vegas.

Since it’s release in September 2013, “PURE HEROINE” has reached PLATINUM status and has sold over 1.2 millions copies.

“Team” recently held the #1 spot on Top 40, Alt, Hot AC, and AAA, holding the crown across five formats, and becoming the number one pop song in the country.
