Birdy

I'm not really sure why I never blogged on Birdy before, but now seems like a great time!  BTDubs, I updated the pages at the top if you'd like to take a look.

Birdy!  I discovered this amazing singer when I was browsing through Spotify a while ago.  I saw the soundtrack for the Hunger Games movie and I clicked on the song, "Just A Game".  On came a girl's vibrant voice, singing from Katniss's point of view, with such feeling.  I quickly looked up the artist and found out that she was a 15 year old girl (now 16, I believe) from the UK.  She goes by the name "Birdy" but is also known as Jasmine van den Bogaerde.

I then looked up her album on Spotify and fell in love with her cover of "Skinny Love".  Some of my other favorites are "People Help the People", "1901", and "White Winter Hymnal" from her self-titled album.  I especially love the aforementioned "Just A Game" because it just captures the Hunger Games so well.  Plus, her voice is so amazing.  I've never really liked her type of music (Indie folk/folk) in the past, so I was really surprised when I latched on.  It's cool to see what kinds of music I actually do like when I actually try them out. 


I definitely recommend Birdy to everyone out there.  She is very talented; she sings and she plays the piano at the same time (well yeah, obviously).  Some of her pages are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, SoundCloud, and her official website.  Here's a music video to get you guys started...
