Shares another brand new track
‘Houdini’
Out now on Glassnote
Today, Jade Bird shares the second glimpse of what is to come on her greatly anticipated second album next year in the form of brand-new track ‘Houdini’. ‘Houdini’ is out now on Glassnote Records. Last month saw UK singer-songwriter Jade Bird make a very, very welcome return with fiery new single ‘Headstart – the first new music to come from Jade since her hugely-loved debut album of 2019.
‘Headstart’ (which premiered on Radio 1 as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record, and is currently Greg James Track Of The Week) is a ballsy re-introduction to one of the UK’s most individual female voices, finding her cool, calm and collected and confidently looking ahead into the new year, her new album and an enthralling new chapter.‘Houdini’ showcases a very different but familiar side of Jade Bird and is set free on the world today as a reminder of just how talented-a-songwriter she is. Her self-titled debut helped set the bar for female musicianship in the current age, carried along by her mature and sharply observed narrative vignettes of relationships, divorce and everything in between.
All is at play once again in beautifully delicate new track ‘Houdini’ where Jade puts to bed the part of her past where she was obsessed with literal abandonment, in her own words – “I’ve loved the word/concept for a really long time. All of a sudden, it seemed to be the perfect metaphor for the figures who had left my life in the past. I had no control or choice on their appearances and disappearances – sort of like the man himself.”
Like ‘Headstart’, ‘Houdini’ was recorded in the iconic RCA studios by powerhouse producer Dave Cobb (John Prine, Lady Gaga). Over the last 2 years, Jade has organically become part of a community of American songwriters and artists, and the likes of Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow and Jade’s friend and collaborator, Brandi Carlile have all taken the British voice firmly under their wing. Next year beckons with a new album on its way – and if ‘Headstart’ and ‘Houdini’ are anything to go by, 2021 is Jade Bird’s for the taking.
