Birdy returns with new single ‘Raincatchers’.

The English artist struck gold with her emphatic cover of Bon Iver’s ‘Skinny Love’, gaining an international hit in the process. A decade of music has followed, with Birdy speaking eloquently to her fanbase across four albums.

Incoming LP ‘Portraits’ shakes it up once more, transforming her music into something more theatrical, more pop, but no less communicative. New single ‘Raincatchers’ is out now, reminiscent of Kate Bush in her Imperial phase – profoundly English, but also timeless, continually reaching outwards.

A sign of what lies ahead, there’s a gothic streak to ‘Raincatchers’, a darkness coupled with enigmatic appeal. As ever, her bold, vivacious delivery takes the song to the next level, something she’ll echo onstage at an upcoming European tour.

Tune in now.
