Odelet once more demonstrates that rules in music are mere guidelines. In “Wait For You Revived,” the chameleonic artist further fleshes out the world of her self-described genre, Surrealist R&B, where feeling is king, time bends, and production extends past the boundaries of standard pop.
“Wait For You Revived” isn’t your average remix. It’s a celluloid echo of another iteration, suffused with additional texture, tension, and tactility. It’s a transformation demonstrating that revival can bear greater weight than origin. The song starts with a breath, a pause, just the space you occupy in the moments before a confession. Odelet then scans an intimate and transcendent soundscape. Her voice comes in and out of focus, like a ghost in the machine, conveying the heavy hush of waiting, of longing not yet sated. Every detail, from the fractured beats to the surreal melodic inflections, is thought through, yet there’s no sense of blood, sweat, and tears, nothing forced or contrived.
This release is just one part of Odelet’s ambitious creative wave and her independent label, Everlasting Tape, which she started in 2022 with a few friends and collaborators. With six planned albums a year, including full-length remixes and instrumental records, it’s clear that Odelet isn’t just making music, she’s building an ecosystem.
