WHAT IT IS: Twisting themes of disillusionment, divorce, cheating and sorrow into the realities of an independent-minded, modern British teenager, Jade Bird’s music transcends genre with a wealth of influence coming from everywhere and anywhere. Classic, contemporary and a breath of fresh air in the current music landscape, she’s that rare, next-generation artist who appears as clued up on the past as she is determined to learn from its lessons: in control, sometimes in your face, and in possession of gifts beyond her years.
