Around The Piano With Tom Odell; a deeply personal exploration of the piano during the 2000’s featuring interviews with Elton John, Billy Joel, Rick Wakeman, Matt Bellamy, Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, Dan Wilson and Tim Rice-Oxley.
In episode 4, Tom focuses on the 00s and explores how the piano began being used like the guitar, often using memorable melodic arpeggio's and how artists like Adele began releasing theΒ big ballads of recent years. Tom will also explore how artists such as Coldplay, Muse and James Blake are using the piano in innovative ways.
Tom hears stories from the likes of Tim-Rice Oxley from Keane who shares memories of going to university with Chris Martin and penning piano hits like 'Somewhere Only we Know'. Tom also speaks to Matt Bellamy from Muse about how he constructs songs on the piano before transferring this to the guitar, and producer and pianist Dan Wilson reminisces about writing 'Someone Like You' with Adele.
Tom finishes by discussing how the piano might be used in the future, undoubtedly at the forefront, as it has become apparent just how ubiquitous the instrument has been in all of our lives without us even realising it.
Centered on Tom’s passion for the piano we hear his personal anecdotes of dedication, celebration and affection of the timeless instrument. The result is a rich, personal narrative series fronted by one of the UK’s leading young artists.
