Birdy - Without a Word

I wouldn't have heard about her if it wasn't from a friend, I don't think she isn't very known, yet. But I hope she will be one day. She is very talented.

Here is first music I heard her singing - People Help the People:

She is Birdy, also known as Jasmine van den Bogaerde, was born on May 15th 1996.

At the age of 12 she won Open Mic UK, in 2008. And as lot of new artists nowadays she started by making covers. At the begining of 2011 her cover of Bon Iver's song Skinny Love reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart. On 19 July 2011, Birdy performed in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and performed a cover of a song from The XX and another one from Ed Sheeran.

Last year, at the begining of November she released her debut album called Birdy. This album gathers her covers and incldues the singles Skinny Love (Bon Iver), Shelter (The XX) and People Help the People (Cherry Ghost).

Her very clean voice aligned with sweet melodies with a calm and sweet piano make her songs/versions so pleasant to hear. I hope to hear more about her soon. Her album reflects her talent.

Here is an original song written by Birdy - Without a word:

Hey you can tell the world

That you're leaving

And you can pack your bags

And spread your wings

And you can tell them all

That it's over

But while you wave goodbye

I'll be getting closer
