In the run up to her third studio album Who Wants To Talk About Love?, UK born but LA-based singer songwriter Jade Bird has shared first cut ‘Who Wants’ before dropping the magnificent gut-punch of ‘Dreams’ alongside the album announcement. Today she shares a third offering – the poignant and crushing ‘Avalanche’.

As ballads go, this song really speaks to the soul – depicting a time where Jade felt suffocated by the sheer weight of her emotions, searching for a way out of the encroaching darkness. Written by Jade and Produced by Teddy Geiger (Leon Bridges/Caroline Polachek), the song shows another subtler, stripped-back side to the new record; beautifully sweet in its melody but equally exposes a narrative that embraces the weighty themes found on Who Wants To Talk About Love?. On the track, Jade shared, “At my lowest, I wrote this song. It was about feeling so suffocated that you can’t see a way out or a light. In the bridge, I let that light in.” 

Exec. produced with platinum selling Andrew Wells (Phoebe Bridgers/Teddy Swims) and with contributions by Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver / Big Thief) and Greg Kurstin (Adele), Who Wants To Talk About Love? is a cathartic reckoning of historical experience – an expulsion of complex thoughts and feelings buried deep in Jade’s psyche for years. It’s a moment in time where facing her truth, her fears and her reality in this world became unavoidable. Self-induced therapy through song that journeys through love, loss and forgiveness resulting in a new sense of self and freedom from family entanglement.

“I wrote this album while trying to make sense of the broken relationships in my family- my parents, both sets of grandparents – and the way they echoed into my own life when my engagement ended. It’s as much a question as an answer, wondering if I could break the cycle while finding my own path to forgiveness- not just from my dad, but for myself.” – Jade Bird

An accomplished songwriter with a natural flair for blending genres, Jade has enjoyed an explorative musical journey across almost a decade as a solo artist. Having signed to Glassnote Records whilst still in her teens, Jade’s worldly approach to her music evolved over time as she increasingly became impossible to pigeonhole with each release; indie, folk, rock, pop, soul, country, Americana- she could do it all and she would – but on her own terms.

Her eponymous debut album was released in 2019 to vast critical acclaim. The follow-up, Different Kinds of Light (2021), marked a new creative chapter, recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, John Prine). This period sharpened Jade’s artistic identity and led her to a new home in the U.S., where she continues to push boundaries and evolve her sound on her own terms. In 2024 Jade released the reflective, genre-blurring Burn The Hard Drive EP. A collaboration with Mura Masa, the EP closed the chapter on a past relationship and signaled a turning point in Jade’s personal and creative life.

Whilst still deep diving into her feelings in the most refreshingly honest way, this new album and new chapter promises to offer hope and clarity for the future.

Over the course of her career, Jade has toured the world, played iconic festivals including Glastonbury, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits, and delivered standout performances on Later… With Jools Holland, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

As well as opening for Tom Odell on his upcoming North American Spring tour, Jade is confirmed for this year’s Glastonbury and Latitude Festivals in the UK. Please see below for full dates.
