I don't think there's a better tune from an Irish artist about New York City than this track 'Leaving My Love in New York' by Odi which appeared on her 2009 debut album 'Maslow's Songbook'. Odi - Leaving My Love In New York by 2uibestow Photo Credit: Flickr/Barry Yanowitz
In honour of the fact that The Purple Sessions have found a new home in Boyles of Slane I'm going to post a video a day from the extensive list of videos uploaded onto YouTube over the last three years: http://www.youtube.com/MeAcous ticSessions Here's a version of Bruce Springsteen from Wexford's Odi; http://www.odimusic.co.uk/
When I heard that ODi's "One In A Million" was being remixed, I was positive it wasn't going to work. As always, I was wrong. Life - 9,125. Confusion - 0. Andrre and producer Degiheugi take the Irish folk singer's track and add some nice touches. It starts off dark and almost spooky, and at around two minutes in it veers off in an awesome direction. ODi herself loved the remix and gave it the nod of approval, or whatever Irish women do to approve of things. Maybe some kind of curtsy . [...]
I do love twitter! Most of the time if I receive music via twitter it's interesting to say the least, but occasionally someone presents you with a gem; as is the case with One In A Million by Irish Singer/Songwriter ODi . There's a huskiness mixed in with the otherwise gentle tones of Claire Odlum's voice that is, quite simply, delectable set against the gorgeous strokes of Con Mac Conlomaire's violin. Even the video compliments the dreamy nature of the song, with its black and white shots of a simply stunning Irish landscape. After the day I've [...]
It's my personal feelings that Ireland is now too small a market for bands and musicians to make a basic standard of living from. I'm delighted when I see artists like James Vincent McMorrow and Julie Feeney spending a considerable amount of time bringing their amazing talent to other markets. Here is a list of Irish artists who are working in other markets to bring their music to prominence. Many of these artists are making a 'Mother's Day' call home today! [...]
Official | Buy on itunes 'One In A Million' is the new single fom Irish songstress ODi featuring Colm Mac Con Iomaire from The Frames / Swell Season on violin. Set for release in March 2011 through Littlest Mojo Music , the single is taken from ODi's debut album "Maslow's Songbook". ODi started performing just three years ago and seems to be well recieved for someone new to the scene. Her voice is crisp and genuine and it is clear that her songs are written to highlight [...]
Irish songstress ODi 's "One A Million" sounds like a melody fit for fellow Irish singer/songwriter Damian Rice . Now, here is where I would normally add a comment about liking ODi better because of her eyes and her smile, but I'm trying to avoid any sexism. This is a music blog right? So Confusion shouldn't always be talking about pretty girls. Stick to the music, right? Right. This track has a great melody, and the slow stomping is perfectly paired with her soft but strong voice and a swaying chorus. But seriously, it's the eyes and the [...]

![David Hope - Daybreak Someplace [EP Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2157668_lg.jpg)
There are many people out there who are saying wonderful things about David Hope. Stephen James Smith for one was tweeting and bulletting about David's gig in Whelans a few months back. Mary Coughlan [musician I assume!] says many good things and Dave Redfern who plays guitar for Odi passed this EP onto me for a review. There are seven tunes on the EP. The Cuckoo's Return is a bluesy instrumental which sits in the middle of the seven tunes. The title track is one of the best song's I've heard this year. The lyrics [...]
