Sydney-based singer/songwriter Odette has quickly established a reputation for writing songs that feel like whispered, close-quarters confessions: soulful, sharp and unafraid of honest reflection.

Her third album, the Kiah Gossner-produced Blink is slated for a November 6, 2026 release through Beloved Records. And throughout the album’s runtime, the rising Aussie artist sings candidly about the human experience and what it means to become aware of the world around you. Album sessions began back in 2022, which was the start of the Aussie artist’s recovery from a particularly volatile period of her life — and served as a way to turn a difficult and overwhelming period into something beautiful and healing.

Blink will include the previously released tracks “AAAH!” and “Watch Me Go,” and the album’s latest single “Don’t.” Shifting crescendoing strings, percussive and melodic keys create a broodingly cinematic bed for Odette’s haunting delivery and confessional, lived-in lyricism. “Don’t” comes from a place of shame and hurt; not from the hurt someone did to you, but from the recognition that you’ve hurt someone you care about.

“Don’t’ is for someone who used to be very close to my heart. I’ve been hesitant to write a song for them because I still feel very ashamed about that time in my life,” Odette says. “I was a very volatile, scared and controlling person for many years in this friendship. I didn’t want anyone to leave me alone with how I was feeling, and I was also experiencing intermittent psychosis and delusions, and because of that, I became someone who caused a lot of harm to people I deeply love and care about.”

Directed by Meg Siejka, the accompanying video for “Don’t” is shot in black and white full of dreamily cinematic visuals. including the artist singing and accompanying herself on piano in what appears to be a dance studio.
