Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum recording artist Birdy has released a brand new track “Deepest Lonely.” Accompanied by a live performance video from The Pool Studios in London, this heartfelt track is the third single to be lifted from her soon-to-be-released new album, “Young Heart,” following previous singles “Loneliness” and “Surrender.” “Young Heart” is set for release on April 30.
Birdy will hold a global livestream event, Live from Wilton’s Music Hall, on April 15 at 8 p.m. via Driift. Tickets are $22 and are available at https://shops.ticketmasterpartners.com/birdy-livestream. This will be a one-off live event with ticket purchase being the only way to see Birdy’s performance in this venue. There will be no access to replays.
Performing live from the oldest music hall in the world, Birdy will perform a career-spanning set ahead of the release of her new album. Accompanied by a band that includes eight string players, a clarinet player and a French horn player, the show will be shot by acclaimed film director Ed Coleman.
Speaking about the global livestream, Birdy says: “I can’t put into words how excited I am to be in a room with my band rehearsing. … Can’t wait to perform old and new songs for you all, playing live is what I love doing most and I have missed it so much!”
“Young Heart” is a departure from Birdy’s previous album, 2015’s dramatic “Beautiful Lies.” Where “Beautiful Lies” was a fairy tale, “Young Heart” is a gritty realist portrait of the artist in pain, looking for the light. The songs on the album tussle between light and dark, between that vastness of space and the interior of home. The conflict between wanting to hide away and being compelled to go away, to new places and new experiences play out across the record.
Album opener “Voyager” is a song about the knowledge and pain that one needs to end a relationship, but the no-man’s land where that person’s partner doesn’t know yet. From there, the record speaks of the fallout — the loneliness, the pain of missing the person one still loves, the acceptance of grief being central to love and loss, longing for travel but the pull of the familiarity of home.
