Over these last few years, Detroit-based singer, songwriter and producer Odelet has cemented herself as one of the more refined artists doing the rounds. With such a simple yet emotive approach to her aesthetic, she has managed to create this beautifully wistful tenure that takes cues from the classic soul sound and rebrand it for a modern ear. And with so much praise and acclaim still coming in for her vibrant releases in recent years, she returns once again to deliver her captivating new studio album 'Pisces Pie', a record that oozes warmth and tenderness.

Instantly reminiscent of icons like Etta James and Joni Mitchell, Odelet finds herself in one of her most emotive guises to date. Using this vast and sweeping array of instrumentation to create the sonic appeal here, 'Pisces Pie' has this incredibly alluring presence to it. With her beautifully lofty and distinctive vocals relaxed across a sprawling eleven tracks, each with its own unique texture to it, she has delivered some of her most spellbinding material to date here.

While these last few years have certainly been a great time for self-discovery and innovation, 'Pisces Pie' is another shining example of her progressive attitude recently. Captivating with almost everything she does, Odelet remains a true gem on the underground music scene right now.
