The character trait you feel most tortured by is probably your best one too. Musician Tom Odell feels his perfectionism can make life challenging, but acknowledges it also plays a part in his success.

In this chat, Tom talks about feeling fewer physical symptoms of anxiety since his last chat with Fearne in 2019, as well as how music helps him feel emotions more deeply, and understand them with more clarity. Plus, they talk about how a wedding day can bring out real tenderness in people.

Tom is playing a gig at Alexandra Palace Park on July 19th, and new dates have been announced in Halifax and Dublin too. His new album, Black Friday, is out on January 26th.
