ODEAL TAKES US DOWN MELODY AVENUE: NO DRUMS, NO PROBLEMS
Odeal just gave us a whole new way to experience his sound with Lustropolis: Melody Avenue…a stripped-back, melody-driven version of his original Lustropolis project. No drums, just pure emotion. If you’re looking for something to vibe to after a long day, this is it.
The Ultimate Unwind Album
Picture this: It’s late at night, the city lights are flickering outside your window, and you’re sinking into your couch with a glass of something smooth. You press play on Lustropolis: Melody Avenue and suddenly, everything slows down. The warm vocals, delicate instrumentals, and deep, atmospheric feel wrap around you like a blanket. No distractions, no heavy beats…just music that lets you breathe.
By stripping away the drums, Odeal invites you to fully feel the melodies, the lyrics,and the spaces in between. Songs like “Can’t Stay (No Drums)” and “Temptress (No Drums)” take on a whole new life, pulling you in with their raw, cinematic energy. And then there’s “You’re Stuck (No Drums)” featuring Summer Walker, so hauntingly beautiful, it’s impossible not to get lost in it.
A Different Side of Lustropolis
This project isn’t just about reworking the originals, it’s about giving us a different way to connect with the music. The focus is on the little details: the way a vocal run lingers, how a single chord can set the mood, the space between the notes that lets everything breathe. It’s music that feels alive, like it’s speaking directly to you.
The Fans Are Feeling It
Odeal’s been teasing Lustropolis: Melody Avenue on socials, and the response has been nothing but love. People are vibing with how intimate and cinematic the project feels. It’s the type of album you throw on when you need a moment to yourself, whether you’re unwinding after a long day or just in the mood for something deep.
So if you’re looking for a project that lets you sink in rather than just play in the background, this is it. Lustropolis: Melody Avenue is out now on all streaming platforms. Go press play, kick back and let the music do the rest.
