The four-song collection was developed during a hiatus but there will be more music, performances, and possibly a full-length album coming from Birdy in the near future. Her hardcore fans would be impressed that Birdy’s adeptness at handling all-consuming ballads hasn’t suffered in all these years.īirdy’s recorded three studio albums to date and her new EP ‘Piano Sketches’ was released on November 6, 2020. She’s always proven herself to be a versatile and authoritative singer but the way in which she’s able to bend and break her voice at the most crucial points of emotion is nothing short of mind-blowing. The emotion embedded within the song goes far beyond the words it’s emanating from each and every chord of the piano, it’s flowing through each affectation in Birdy’s voice. Tackling quite a profound topic, Birdy makes no attempt to simplify her language to render the ballad more digestible or accessible. She compares herself to a “river,” an entity that shapes the earth but doesn’t have a home it flows and slithers through the land, wandering, lost as if that is its purpose. The subject matter of the piece itself signals an evolution that the singer has underwent in the past couple of years. The composition is perfectly suited to Birdy’s gentle style, where she commands the soaring notes through a special combination of both sensibility and wide-eyed innocence. Years have come and gone but at twenty-four, she still possesses the sweet, fragile personality that made her a musical standout in just her teens. The British singer-songwriter has been a sensation behind the piano since she was twelve. As can be expected from any Birdy venture, the tune is rife with poignant piano chords and impassioned vocal work that will simultaneously soothe and sadden you.
Birdy laments her lost, wandering soul through a heartwrenching melody in her new single ‘Just Like a River Does’.
