British singer-songwriter, Jade Bird, first dazzled us with her fiery grit back in 2019 with her self-titled debut album and the journey has been nothing short of thrilling. Bird is one of those artists the industry has been craving for some time now, and with her sophomore effort, Different Kinds Of Light, out on August 13 via Glassnote Records, we have a feeling things are about to heat up even more for the singer.
Title track, “Different Kinds of Light” – which follows previously released tracks “Headstart,” “Houdini” and “Open Up The Heavens” – is a melancholy tearjerker that will have you sobbing as soon as the chorus hits.
“‘Different Kinds of Light’ at its most basic is about falling in love and at its most complex, the chaos of trying to get away from your past,” shared Bird. “I’ve written about fictional characters, about myself and people who don’t exist or at least only exist in my mind, memory and imagination. This record started in Japan, a small getaway from a busy year. We took it to Mexico, to Nashville and to upstate New York adding pieces of songs along the way until it became the different phases of who I am, what my relationship is and what my relationship to other people has become. It’s been a big exploration through evenings and mornings spent under strange skies. With Different Kinds of Light came different kinds of clarity in my life.”
