‘In her short time in the pop world, 15 year-old singer and musician Birdy has made a huge impact.’ Mizz

'At just 15 years old, this talented lass is already creating huge industry buzz for her soaring vocals and extraordinary musicianship.' Star magazine

Following the release of her two singles ‘Skinny Love’, ‘Shelter’ and in preparation for the third ‘People Help the People’, Birdy (AKA Jasmine Van den Bogaerde) is proud to announce the full details of her debut album, now set for release on November 7th through 14th Floor/Atlantic Records.

One of her main supporters, Fearne Cotton had Birdy in the studio to do her first live radio interview and performance on Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
