Odeal “Addicted” Review: 80s Soul Meets Desire

By Marcus AdetolaNovember 24, 2025
Odeal "Addicted" Review: 80s Soul Meets Desire

“Addicted,” track five on The Fall That Saved Us EP, released 21st November 2025, finds Odeal stripping desire down to its most direct form. 

The song glides on synth-kissed 80s production that feels both vintage and current, the kind of R&B that knows restraint makes everything hit harder.

The vocals stay conversational, never overselling the sentiment. When Odeal asks “am I just an option?” over smooth keys and a subtle afrobeats pocket, the question lands because he sounds genuinely uncertain. 

There’s no bravado here, just a man admitting he’s caught up and wondering if she feels the same gravity.

“‘Addicted’ is one of the oldest songs I had in my files,” Odeal shares. “I first wrote and produced it in 2019… a producer came in with this 80s-leaning beat and I instantly heard ‘Addicted’ over it.” 

That history shows in the track’s lived-in quality. The song breathes easy, letting the hook carry the weight while vintage synths shimmer underneath. 

“Addicted” offers something simpler: want without pretence. The production stays clean, the sentiment stays honest, and the whole thing plays like a midnight confession you weren’t supposed to hear.
