Thereโs something properly exciting happening in the blues world right now, butt โ and his name is Odin S.
The young Croatian blues artist has released his brand-new single, โBottom of The Circle,โ and this one doesnโt 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 โ tell the truth with grit, soul, and a bit of fire in its boots. ๐คโก
Produced by internationally renowned producer Fabrizio โFabโ Grossi, whose CV includes work connected with names like Slash, Steve Vai, Eric Gales and Alice Cooper, โBottom of The Circleโ feels like a serious arrival moment for Odin S. Itโs modern, powerful, cinematic, and rooted in that timeless blues tradition of turning lifeโs rough edges into something that howls beautifully through the speakers.
A Young Artist With Old-Soul Fire ๐ฅ
Hereโs the mad bit โ 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.
Heโs already performed nearly fifty concerts across Europe and the United States, which is absolutely wild when you remember heโs still at school. Thatโs not โpromising for his age.โ Thatโs 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 โsaw earlyโ in a few years while smugly sipping a festival pint.
โBottom of The Circleโ โ Blues With Cinematic Bite ๐ฌ๐ธ
โBottom of The Circleโ is described as a powerful modern blues statement, and that feels bang on.
The song digs into the emotional cycle of life โ the highs, the lows, the falls, the climbs, and those moments where you feel like youโre stuck right at the bottom wondering how the hell you got there. But this isnโt misery for miseryโs sake. Itโs blues as reflection. Blues as resilience. Blues as that old battered amp in the corner still roaring after years of punishment.
Thereโs a real sense of maturity in the message. Itโs the kind of track that understands life isnโt always a straight road โ sometimes itโs a circle, sometimes youโre flying, sometimes youโre flat on the floor, and sometimes the only way out is to play louder.
Proper tidy, that.
Fab Grossi Brings The Big-League Muscle ๐ค
Having Fabrizio โFabโ 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 โBottom of The Circle.โ The track doesnโt feel overcooked or plastic โ it keeps the soul intact while giving Odinโs sound the size and punch needed to stand tall in todayโs blues-rock landscape.
Thatโs 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 โ emotional, modern, and full of bluesy thunder.
A Cinematic Video Featuring Rade ล erbedลพija ๐ฅ๐ฅ
The release also comes with a cinematic music video directed by Luka Rocco, and it sounds like Odin isnโt messing around visually either.
The video features acclaimed actor Rade ล erbedลพija as an older version of Odin, adding a deeper storytelling layer to the songโs 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 โBottom of The Circle.โ That mix of old soul, new technology, and blues storytelling is a bold move โ and it suits the trackโs message perfectly.
Itโs not just โhereโs a lad playing guitar in a room.โ 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 ๐๐ธ
Thereโs a lot of noise in modern music, but every now and then an artist cuts through because theyโve got something real.
Odin S has that.
Heโs young, yes, but the music doesnโt lean on novelty. It doesnโt feel like a โteenage blues prodigyโ gimmick. It feels like an artist building something with patience, craft, and a genuine love for the form.
And thatโs important. Blues music has always thrived on feeling โ not polish, not trends, not chasing whatever TikTokโs doing this week. Feeling. Truth. Scars. Fire. The good stuff.
With โBottom of The Circle,โ Odin S shows he understands that language already.
New Single Out Now ๐ฅ
โBottom of The Circleโ is available now worldwide through Volcano Records, across all digital platforms and physical formats.
This summer, Odin will also tour the Adriatic coast with Norwayโs 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 โ and if โBottom of The Circleโ is anything to go by, heโs only just getting started.
Young artist. Big soul. Proper blues fire.
YESS MUN. ๐ธ๐ฅ
