[Pop] Birdy - Raincatchers

[ludichris]

One of our best singer-songwriters is back soon!

[SholasBoy]

Yes please. Always more Birdy!!

[basticasas]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees I love her!

[ljw200103]

cant wait!!

[Thriller]

Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting meets Florence + The Machine!

[Thriller]

I’ve just read a rumour that this is going to be the UK’s ESC entry

[jszmiles]

meh, she had so many great songs, this is very average

[SholasBoy]

!!! Imagine

Theyd need to snip a minute off it and they can start with that weird middle 8 that throws it off track. Great talent though and the song builds nicely.

[Tansike]

Her last album was a surprising non event to me... but this here is already much better!

Does it sample something? Sounds so familiar... but it's probably just influenced by some 80s tracks / sounds.

I’ve just read a rumour that this is going to be the UK’s ESC entry

Because of the length of the song and the coincide to release it now.

Her album comes out in July though, if she were the UK entry they would've tried to release the album around May so I am not sure...

[LJC123]

She would never do Eurovision

[SholasBoy]

She would never do Eurovision

Why so?

[LJC123]

Doesn’t seem like her direction/style

[Benjamin]

This is so good!

[basticasas]

Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting meets Florence + The Machine!

This is the best she has released in years!!!

[greek_boy]

Doesn’t seem like her direction/style

Eurovision does not have one direction/style but honestly yeah it would be hard to imagine her in ESC or actually thinking she would say yes to Eurovision...even though she hasn't been successful in charts recently...

[heppolo]

in a way it might have worked, we haven't got that many downtempo entries this year except for a traditional Italian ballad

[Loose]

I absolutely LOVE the dramatic verses. It’s very „Experiment VI Kate Bush“.

In general I think this is something Kate could have done as well.

Hope the whole album will be as atmospheric as the first taste.

yeah maybe with a good staging but juries would've voted for it for sure

Tbh Birdy has never had huge chart success, her albums have debuted high but haven’t sold much, but her songs like Wings, Find Me and Keeping Your Head Up are used as beds on TV shows constantly, so that probably funds her to keep making music.

[Loose]

I loved all the EPs for each Zodiac sign she released on Spotify. what an excellent way to revisit her back catalogue.

You forgot Skinny Love and People Help the People which still sell nicely and were successful on charts back in the day. The later is very popular on tiktok as well
