ODC's most recent single, "My Only Fan," charges through with grime, glitter, and magnificence. The Parisian-born alt-metal band cranks out something brooding and cinematic, fierce and seductive at once, a violent splash into raw sensuality, heavy riffs, and high drama. "My Only Fan" is produced by Kellen McGregor of Memphis May Fire and published through BLKIIBLK / Frontiers, an atypical metal track. It starts with some updated-sounding electronic twirls that then melt away into chest-thumping guitar licks, with the woman-to-vocal dynamic dictating the tempo.
Vocal duties are shared with guest screamer SUN Brutal Pop, who adds a scorching counterpoint to ODC's frontwoman Celia Do's goosebump-inducing, hypnotic, clean vocal line. It's a contrast that works brilliantly and reiterates light meets rage, softness meets violence, and elegance meets chaos. The song has enough raw emotion and experimental spirit that fans of Spiritbox, Poppy, and Motionless in White would easily latch on to it. There is something quite cinematic in their approach. Picture olfactory, a midnight walk along a rain-slicked Paris street, illuminated by neon signs whispering secrets. That is the vibe of "My Only Fan" conjured a world of dark luxury encased in twisted sound.
Thematically and emotionally, the song hints at obsession, admiration, and openness but with a dangerous twist. It's a confession from the shadows, shrouded in velvet and razor wire. Formed in 2017 by frontwoman Celia Do with a mission to resuscitate what is played from the gut, from the underground, ODC was true to its mission. With "My Only Fan," they are evolving rock and metal for a generation that demands authenticity and evolution. ODC isn't just here to play. They're here to get you in their midsts, attracting, screeching, and shaking the ground beneath your feet.
