Tom Odell 'Don't Let Me Go' by Alex Leggatt

David Knight - 12th May 2025

Alex Leggatt has delivered a hugely accomplished, stirring video for the return of singer-songwriter Tom Odell.

With creative direction by Phil Lee at Untold Studios, Leggatt's video for Don't Let Me Go resonates with the song's themes of vulnerability and longing as it combines stylish, abstract art direction with realism and Odell's heartfelt, deeply emotive performance. 

This is very powerful indeed, with a notable contribution from DoP Kai Blamey Nguyen, who used in-camera techniques to create impactful time-lapse footage, and creative use of anamorphic lenses - with Odell moving in and out focus, a device that underlines his emotional turmoil. 

“We are so happy to continue our creative relationship with Tom Odell," says Lee. "He and Alex had a vision that we helped bring to life. And wow, was it worth it."
