birdy - skinny love cover.

wow. i hate day time radio. but after listening to gill scott-herons album 3 times in a row on a journey this morning i needed a break. i put on radio 1 (with the hot but annoying fearne cotton) and was mesmerized by this. a cover of the amazing bon iver track 'skinny love' (posted in the past by myself as one of my all time favourite tracks). im all for this new folk movement. the fact this relatively unknown birdy is 14 years of age and can produce this defies belief.

  3. :) Great to see Birdy doing so well after sweeping through every round of National Music competition Open Mic UK, playing at the O2 and winning her category!
