In the last six months, more than ten million people have clicked on
YouTube to see this very special 15-year-old from the New Forest
perform. It’s hard to believe that such a pure, powerful voice can come
from such a tiny frame, or that such raw, deep emotion can be expressed
by someone so young. But mainly, what all these new fans recognise is an
artist who can take even a familiar song and make it completely her own.
On her debut album Birdy takes on songs by artists such as Cherry Ghost,
The National, Phoenix, The Postal Service and James Taylor. “It’s just
an
introduction to my style,” she explains, “Although it’s nice to have one
of
my own songs, Without A Word, on there too.”
The album was recorded in London and Los Angeles with top producers
such as Rich Costey (Muse, TV On The Radio), James Ford (Arctic Monkeys,
The Klaxons), and Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys)
