Tom Odell is kicking off his North American tour on Thursday, so it's fitting that today, he has shared a new song.

It's a beautiful new track called "Best Day Of My Life," out now via independent label mtheory. It's accompanied by a striking video created by line-drawing artist Manshen Lo (Sally Rooney) and produced by Nexus Studios.

“I feel so free, so liberated to be an independent artist," says Odell. "Honestly, there’s a huge amount of relief in this music, of just getting to do exactly what I want to do. I wanted to not cram in as many hooks as I could, not have the chorus at the front of the song, just create an environment where people can sit with the music and breathe.”

This is clearly Tom at his best, and we love it.
