There’s something properly exciting happening in the blues world right now, butt — and his name is Odin S.
The young Croatian blues artist has released his brand-new single, “Bottom of The Circle,” and this one doesn’t just stroll into the room with a guitar case and a shy grin. Oh no. This track kicks the door open, plugs straight into the emotional mains, and lets the blues do what the blues does best — tell the truth with grit, soul, and a bit of fire in its boots. 🎤⚡
Produced by internationally renowned producer Fabrizio “Fab” Grossi, whose CV includes work connected with names like Slash, Steve Vai, Eric Gales and Alice Cooper, “Bottom of The Circle” feels like a serious arrival moment for Odin S. It’s modern, powerful, cinematic, and rooted in that timeless blues tradition of turning life’s rough edges into something that howls beautifully through the speakers.
A Young Artist With Old-Soul Fire 🔥
Here’s the mad bit — Odin S is still a high school student.
Yep. While most people his age are juggling homework, exams, and whatever chaos the group chat has cooked up that week, Odin is out here writing his own music, penning his own lyrics, and building a blues career that already has serious international weight behind it.
He’s already performed nearly fifty concerts across Europe and the United States, which is absolutely wild when you remember he’s still at school. That’s not “promising for his age.” That’s just promising full stop, mun.
Odin has also been recognised twice as a European Blues Union scholarship recipient, further marking him out as one of the most exciting young names coming through the contemporary blues scene. This is the kind of artist people will be saying they “saw early” in a few years while smugly sipping a festival pint.
“Bottom of The Circle” — Blues With Cinematic Bite 🎬🎸
“Bottom of The Circle” is described as a powerful modern blues statement, and that feels bang on.
The song digs into the emotional cycle of life — the highs, the lows, the falls, the climbs, and those moments where you feel like you’re stuck right at the bottom wondering how the hell you got there. But this isn’t misery for misery’s sake. It’s blues as reflection. Blues as resilience. Blues as that old battered amp in the corner still roaring after years of punishment.
There’s a real sense of maturity in the message. It’s the kind of track that understands life isn’t always a straight road — sometimes it’s a circle, sometimes you’re flying, sometimes you’re flat on the floor, and sometimes the only way out is to play louder.
Proper tidy, that.
Fab Grossi Brings The Big-League Muscle 🤘
Having Fabrizio “Fab” Grossi behind the production desk gives the track an extra layer of heavyweight credibility.
Grossi is known internationally for working with major names across rock and blues, and his fingerprints bring a polished but muscular edge to “Bottom of The Circle.” The track doesn’t feel overcooked or plastic — it keeps the soul intact while giving Odin’s sound the size and punch needed to stand tall in today’s blues-rock landscape.
That’s a tricky balance to nail. Too clean and you lose the dirt. Too raw and the power gets buried. Here, the song hits that sweet spot — emotional, modern, and full of bluesy thunder.
A Cinematic Video Featuring Rade Šerbedžija 🎥🔥
The release also comes with a cinematic music video directed by Luka Rocco, and it sounds like Odin isn’t messing around visually either.
The video features acclaimed actor Rade Šerbedžija as an older version of Odin, adding a deeper storytelling layer to the song’s themes of time, struggle, reflection and emotional growth.
Blending live action with AI-generated visuals, the video explores the emotional ups and downs at the heart of “Bottom of The Circle.” That mix of old soul, new technology, and blues storytelling is a bold move — and it suits the track’s message perfectly.
It’s not just “here’s a lad playing guitar in a room.” This is world-building. This is mood. This is blues with a film reel running behind it. Lovely stuff.
Odin S Is One To Watch 👀🎸
There’s a lot of noise in modern music, but every now and then an artist cuts through because they’ve got something real.
Odin S has that.
He’s young, yes, but the music doesn’t lean on novelty. It doesn’t feel like a “teenage blues prodigy” gimmick. It feels like an artist building something with patience, craft, and a genuine love for the form.
And that’s important. Blues music has always thrived on feeling — not polish, not trends, not chasing whatever TikTok’s doing this week. Feeling. Truth. Scars. Fire. The good stuff.
With “Bottom of The Circle,” Odin S shows he understands that language already.
New Single Out Now 🔥
“Bottom of The Circle” is available now worldwide through Volcano Records, across all digital platforms and physical formats.
This summer, Odin will also tour the Adriatic coast with Norway’s Otto Junior Band, with dates set to be announced soon.
So keep your eyes on this one, because Odin S is making waves in the blues scene — and if “Bottom of The Circle” is anything to go by, he’s only just getting started.
Young artist. Big soul. Proper blues fire.
YESS MUN. 🎸🔥
