Two-time MOBO Award winner Odeal returns with the breathtaking visual for “Miami” featuring Leon Thomas, lifted from his critically acclaimed 7-track EP, The Summer That Saved Me.
Directed by Sam Brave, the video unfolds like a cinematic postcard — drenched in warmth, emotion, and reflection. It captures the essence of Odeal’s creative rebirth: freedom, connection, and the rediscovery of self. Shot with striking intimacy, the visual echoes the song’s beginnings, written on a Spanish beach where Odeal reignited his artistic spark alongside longtime collaborator Harry Westlake.
The Summer That Saved Me stands as a defining chapter in Odeal’s journey, effortlessly weaving Afrobeats, R&B, and soul into a sound that feels both personal and borderless. Critics and fans alike have praised the project for its emotional honesty and fluid fusion of influences.
Following standout performances at Afro Nation Portugal, Wireless, North Sea Jazz Festival, and Rock en Seine, Odeal continues to extend his global reach with upcoming tour dates across Europe and the U.S., including Austin City Limits.
Most recently, he sat down with GENIUS to break down the making of “Miami” — a track that not only celebrates connection but also reaffirms Odeal’s place as one of the most expressive voices shaping the new wave of global R&B.
