Why do fans think ODESZA are breaking up?

ODESZA fans may think the duo is breaking up because of the release of their new song The Last Goodbye.

The electronic music duo had been on hiatus since the release of their 2017 album A Moment Apart, aside from their project with Golden Features in 2020.

Fans have speculated that ODESZA's last album title A Moment Apart hinted at their long hiatus.

The new song title has left fans wondering if an upcoming album from ODESZA could be their "last goodbye" as a duo.

ODESZA has not confirmed a new album, nor have they said anything about breaking up.

What is ODESZA's new song?

ODESZA's new song is titled The Last Goodbye.

The duo credits the 76-year-old soul singer Bettye LaVette as an artist on the track because they sample her song "Let Me Down Easy."

"This song was born out of the concept of trying to bring these lasting, defining musical pieces like the 1965 release of Let Me Down Easy by Bettye LaVette into a modern and contemporary electronic setting,” ODESZA said in a statement to Pitchfork.

They continued: "The idea of bringing two worlds together, that at first seem distant, has always been something we’ve been drawn to."

"It was an absolute honor to be able to work with Bettye’s voice over the course of writing the track," they said. "She’s able to convey emotion with her vocal work unlike any other. To date, this has been one of the more fulfilling songs we’ve had the chance to work on as artists. We hope everyone who listens enjoys the track as much as we did making it."

The song is ODESZA's first since their 2017 LP A Moment Apart.
