Jade Bird - Jade Bird

Released in 2019 via Glassnote Records, the self-titled debut from Jade Bird is a "total breath of fresh air" in a crowded musical landscape. At just 21 years old, Bird managed to twist heavy themes of divorce, disillusionment, and betrayal into a record that feels both "independent-minded" and remarkably mature. While her roots are in the UK, her sound effortlessly transcends borders, blending the "clenched-fist" energy of punk-rock with the soulful storytelling of classic Americana and country-folk.

Featuring the breakout hits "Lottery" and the biting, high-energy "Uh Huh," the album showcases Jade’s "otherworldly wail" and sharp, observant songwriting. Bird is a "rare, next-generation artist" who respects the past but refuses to be bound by it. Whether she’s delivering a "slow-burn bluesy grind" or a hyperactive folk-rock chase, this debut proves she is in total control of a gift that extends far beyond her years.
