A Little ‘Birdy’ Told Me

I can’t stop listening to Birdy’s cover of ‘Skinny Love’ by Bon Iver. From Lymington in Hampshire, Birdy, aka Jasmine Van Den Bogaerde, is only fourteen but the clarity and tenderness of her voice is hauntingly brilliant. Despite being unsigned when her version was released, she has since singed a record deal with a major label. She is currently number 25 in the UK charts, no doubt helped by being BBC Radio One’s ‘record of the week’ and definitely deserves the success and praise she is receiving.  She is great news for British music and with such talent she is one to watch.
