View Full Version : This Bird Will Grow
Move over Adele (I never quite 'got' her anyway), there's a new talent on the block.
Birdy. 15 years old from Lymington in Hampshire. Check her out live, here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/1b8bdee5-783a-4eca-88e5-3e9460739546#p00j8mkm)
I think it was on here that Mike posted a video of her somewhere else - I pre-ordered the album instantly. :)

Can't find that post. She's recording some tracks for her album in my friend's studio here in Totton, Southampton. I hear she's recording a covers album first, then her own album later.
Slight hint of Tori Amos in her voice I thought.
she did aversion of Bon Ivers Skinny Love they have been playing on the wireless, very talented indeed
Try from here onward - though in fairness, no one ever mentioned her name! http://theartofsound.net/forum/showpost.php?p=229939&postcount=52

All I got was 'Content not working'
Me too, the BBC page isn't working.
These are the original videos Mike linked to:

Meh, she sounds ok.
Her cover of The XX song is wonderful, I love The XX too. One to watch for sure, let's just hope the industry doesn't destroy her - somebody keep her away from Cowell and SONY!

Lee,

pay attention to NOT develop a crush for this new, pretty, melancholic girl with a piano :-)
Have you heard and seen Anna Calvi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxDmCTV0YrY&feature=related) yet? Highly recommended!
Werner.

Werner.She is only 15 Werner!
Calvi? No. I shall look her up. Thanks.
Birdy's debut album is released on Monday, in case any one is interested. Mine was pre-ordered back in July. :)

She has a great talent no doubt. A shame she had time write just one of the tracks herself due to her exams but they look ok choices :-)

It is a great album and I do agree it would have been nice to see more of her own songs - but I suppose that gives us something to look forward to for the future!
The self penned tune was recorded at my friends studio here in Totton, Southampton.
I like it, but there are a couple of tracks that sound a bit 'Adele' like and to be honest I'm bored with Adele now, so let's hope she doesn't go down the same road. Having said that, Adele has said her next album has been heavily influenced by The Civil Wars and her time in Nashville and will be very different, so that sounds promising.
I love Birdy's own penned track, Skinny Love, Shelter and I really like her cover of Terrible Love. I have high hopes for her and she seems a great kid too - fingers crossed and I look forward to seeing her perform live. :)
Have you checked out Anna Calvi yet Lee?
I think the Birdy album is tremendous; the proof is that I find myself repeat playing it. If she can write some more of her own songs for the 'difficult' second album, she is going to be here to stay.
Adele is simply not at the same level, vocally.

Agree 100% there Martin and it is indeed a grower, but I liked it anyway.
I bought this album a couple of weeks ago and I love it. Wonderful voice and good production throughout..One to watch me thinks.
