Birdy

This week Birdy released her self titled debut album.  Its been a pretty amazing two years since meeting her and starting to help develop her incredible talent and I see a very bright future for this somewhat special teenage songwriter.

One of the things I love most about her recordings is how honest they are.  Without A Word - the only original track on this first album is basically a live recording!  She played and sung simultaneously, its all one take and we did no editing.  It hit the public pretty much exactly the same way it would if you were to see it live.  Thats pretty unusual, almost unheard of in music that charts these days.  Check it out below.

While Birdy has a huge number of original tracks, many of which we have recorded over the years the debut album displays her eclectic music taste and maturity as an arranger - taking underground classics, some held in very high esteem by their respective followings and making them her own.

Its a very brave thing to take a song that people already know, love and relate to and change everything but the lyrics to make it your own, and sometimes harder to pull of then just starting from scratch.

With a talent that seems to have simply grown with her since birth and the diligent, respectful demeanour she has developed as an artist in such a short career I can't wait to see what comes next and will feel privileged to be a part of it.

Grab a copy of the album and see what you think :)
