Description:

Having teased her new album with a series of taster singles and live performances, acclaimed young British singer-songwriter Jade Bird has today confirmed details of the release. Different Kinds of Light is Jades sophomore record and will be released via Glassnote Records on August 13th, 2021. The RCA studios in Nashville and the North American americana/alt-rock music scene feature heavily in the life cycle of this new album as thats where Jade majoritively recorded Different Kinds of Light with 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 Jades friend and collaborator, Brandi Carlile have all taken the British voice firmly under their wing. Jade Birds self-titled debut album was received with much critical acclaim when it was released in 2019. Even as a first offering from the then 21 year old, the album helped set the bar for female musicianship in the current age, carried along by Jades mature and sharply observed narrative vignettes of relationships, divorce and everything in between. With this new album, Jade has grown, shes travelled the world, collected stories, met fascinating new people, fathomed her own emotions and settled in Austin amongst a new and empowering musical family who showed her that a happier, more holistic and sustainable way of working was possible. This journey has helped her see love and relationships in a new light from her teenage self growing up in the UK. Its been a gateway to self-discovery and an untangling of held onto experience. On the record Jade says \”Different Kinds of Light at its most basic is about falling in love and at its most complex, the chaos of trying to get away from your past. Ive written about fictional characters, about myself and people who dont exist or at least only exist in my mind, memory and imagination.
