Birdy
Feb 2, 2014
Singer-songwriter, Birdy, broke big internationally in 2011 with her cover of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love". It topped the charts in countries as diverse as New Zealand and the Netherlands.
Three years have passed but time hasn't wearied the impact of the 17-year-old's haunting rendition. In fact, it has been selected to spearhead her US campaign and she just got released a striking new video. Directed by Sophie Muller, "Skinny Love" 2.0 is a suitably somber affair. The simple black-and-white clip focuses on the Brit's expressive face as she belts out the seemingly timeless ballad in an English pub.
Birdy's signature song can be found on her Breathe EP which came out on October 16th. Her second studio album, Fire Within, will be released sometime later this year. She will support Christina Perri on her spring tour starting April 4th in Denver and winding up in Vancouver on May 26th.
