Odie Leigh – My Name On A T-Shirt
Singer-songwriter Odie Leigh shares a new song from her soon-to-be-released debut album. “My Name On A T-Shirt” is Odie Leigh’s new twist on the challenges of navigating relationships and human connections.
It’s the latest single from Carrier Pigeon, arriving via Mom + Pop on Friday, July 12, and produced by producer/musician/engineer Derek Ted and Odie Leigh.
Alongside the new song, Odie confirms her “Carrier Pigeon Tour” today, an extensive run of North American headline shows this fall with stops in New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and more —see full routing below.
“Relationships are never smooth,” confides Odie Leigh. “This was not smooth.
“I never intended to make heavy, loud music, but for whatever reason the songs I’d been writing called for that. I feel like there’s an unspoken idea that comes along with creating ‘rock’ music, that there’s a desire to be huge and outlandish. This was the second song we recorded, months before we had any idea what the rest of the album would sound like, and after recording, I was so insecure and embarrassed by it. I never wanted anyone to think I was trying to be anything, and ‘rock’ music carries such implications of desire and fame and commercial success. My only desire is to make a good song. As the rest of the album wrote itself, ‘My Name On A T-Shirt’ started to feel more in place in my world, and became a reference point for what the album could be.
“Simply put, it’s just about seeking resolution for the weirdness of it all: the weirdness of long distance, and the weirdness of trying to date when the details of your breakups and insecurities can all be heard on Spotify.”
