4. Young Heart (2021)

“This album is the uplifting light of morning following the dark of night. It is the beauty that follows melancholy. It is a cohesive and consistent album full of melody and wonderful yet simple arrangements. It feels organic and deliberately contains imperfections that add to that atmosphere. Really good and perfect for the quiet of early hours or the first light of day.”

3. Fire Within (2013)

“Very nice album for putting on and really listening to. Birdy’s voice has that vulnerable quality to it that make a lot of these songs sound simply captivating. Like a lot of people, I was first introduced to her through the acoustic version of “Wings” being used on a TV addy; but that doesn’t detract from the fact that it is a truly beautiful song in its own right. I have been playing this album a lot lately, and I have to say the rest of the songs on the album are equally as good, leading me to believe this could well be a contender for my album of the year! The fact that she has either written or co written all the songs on this album just adds to her being a legitimate artist with a firm future.”

2. Beautiful Lies (2016)

“Another nice album by Birdy. Not as good as her previous one on first listen, but it’s early days yet and it may still grow on me further. The album kicks off with a few tracks that definitely have a Florence And The Machine vibe to them, especially “Keeping Your Head Up”, but it also has the more trademark Birdy type songs in the form of “Lost It All”, “Unbroken” and “Beautiful Lies” which would not have sounded out of place on her previous release. Birdy has a distinctive and original vocal style, and one which on her slower songs I find both endearing and soothing to listen to.”

1. Birdy (2011)

“Although there is one self-written song, Birdy (the album) is probably one of the best cover projects I’ve heard since the glory days of This Mortal Coil. Never mind the original versions, Birdy (the artist) totally makes these songs her own. The vocals and piano dominate but these are sympathetically augmented by inventive ambient keyboards, percussion and (especially on the stirring cover of Mew’s Comforting Sounds) soaring orchestrations. Birdy’s own composition Without A Word shows a lot of promise (Kate Bush was scrabbling about with Passing Through Air at the same age) and hopefully the follow up album will feature mainly her own songs.”
