How do you stand out in an over-saturated market? The Recommender is a music blog seemingly among billions of others out there. What makes our music blog so different? What makes you return to our pages and selections, and what is it that stops you from repeatedly visiting other music blogs? It's an interesting thought, and in all honesty, it's a point that you could perhaps answer better than we ever could. We imagine it might be the fact that we research our subjects as thoroughly as possible. Perhaps it's the quality of the selections, what with us being such [...]

Birdy Birdy Warner Bros. Records [2012] Fire Note Says: 15 year old Birdy will surprise you with her soaring delivery and good taste in cover songs. Album Review: I could have easily let this record go by the way side but after hearing just a little bit of Birdy's cover of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" I was hooked. Birdy is actually 15 year old British singer [...]

Recently, UK songstress Birdy hit up Chateau Marmont's famed Bar Marmont on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles for an intimate showcase, where, among other songs, the 15-year-old performed her heartfelt ballad "Without A Word". Clad in a black jacket — and clearly wearing her heart on her sleeve — Birdy sat at her piano and belted out the song, which appears on her just-released self-titled debut LP . Head below to watch an exclusive video of the live performance. Though Birdy's album contains covers of songs by bands [...]

Say hello to your new favourite, Jasmine van den Bogaerde. Say hello to Birdy. She is ethereal and utterly magical. Birdy is a beguiling mix of contradictions: she's young, yet sings in a voice that is world-weary and steeped in soul. Oh and she won the music competition Open Mic UK in 2008, at the tender age of 12. She was plunged into the worldwide spotlight last year with her version of Bon Iver's 'Skinny Love'. It is equally haunting and tantalizing as the original with a wonderful and fresh twist. I [...]
This fifteen year old chanteuse bearing her soul (via Justin Vernon) on Conan is Birdy . All the way from the UK, Birdy released an album of covers of popular indie rock songs, including––you guessed it–– Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," but also Phoenix's "1901," Fleet Foxes' "White Winter Hymnal," The Postal Services' "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight," The xx's "Shelter," The National's "Terrible Love," among others. If you're into delicate prodigy-grade piano pop, you should really check it out , but first watch [...]

The 15 year old singer hits late night TV.

The 16-year-old singer Birdy has been racking up the YouTube views with her popular covers. One of her most popular is her take on Bon Iver 's "Skinny Love." The weirdest part about the YouTube sensation phenomenon is that these singers are no longer restricted to internet fame. Before I ever even heard Birdy's Bon Iver cover, I heard of it courtesy of the least likely source for new music ever: my mom. "Have you heard Birdy? I saw her on YouTube. You need 2 get her on P&P," she texted me. This was weeks [...]

While I've been hearing rumblings about an artist called " Birdy " for a while now, until yesterday I had NO idea who she was or even what sort of music she made. Perhaps I was subconsciously confusing her with Birdman , the Cash Money rapper? Whatever the reason, I'm highly embarrassed. I've seriously been missing out on an extraordinary talent. Thankfully and fortunately, Ellen DeGeneres featured the talented singer/songwriter on her daytime talk show yesterday, where she performed her debut single, a hauntingly beautiful [...]
Flipping channels yesterday, I was surprised to see a dark-haired, smokey-voiced girl playing piano on Ellen. I stopped thinking/hoping it was Fiona Apple, only to discover it was British singer-songwriter Birdy. Birdy covered Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," which is featured on her new self-titled debut and which you can stream via the Soundcloud widget below. [...]
Much has been said about "Skinny Love", the stripped, piano ballad Bon Iver cover that made Jasmine Van Den Bogaerde -- aka Birdy -- a youtube sensation in the U.K. and led to a major label signing for the 15-year-old British singer/songwriter. But we think the version of Phoenix's massive hit "1901" is the real gem on her forthcoming self-titled debut (March 20), a song that she subtly turns inside out, bringing the melody and addictive "hey hey hey hey" chorus hook into the sweet, velvety plush confines of chamber pop. [...]
Birdy tem feito uma boa safra de clipes ultimamente. Depois do romance conturbado em 1901 , a cantora resolve apostar em algo mais simples e classudo: Birdy e o piano, com takes do rosto e de suas mãos tocando, numa coloração um tanto soturna. Jasmine van den Bogaerde tem batido suas próprias asas e suas canções tem ganhado destaque na mídia,. Já contribuiu para trilha sonora do seriado Vampire Diaries, ganhou uma de suas faixas na trilha do afamado filme The Hunger Games , e sobrou até espaço para embalar um casal romântico [...]

What: With the way her rich voice flutters, UK's Jasmine van den Bogaerde couldn't have chosen a better stage name than Birdy . The 15-year-old's rendition of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" reached 17 on the UK charts and has over 18 million YouTube hits (I repeat: 15-year-old. . . she's still in braces, for Pete's sake!). Watch her live rendition of the track, then head to iTunes to pre-order her indie-covers heavy self-titled debut, due March 20th from Warner Bros. Birdy Track list: 01. 1901 [...]
