Birdy

Folk
FolkIndie rockPop

Birdy is a Folk and Indie rock act. Their catalogue also touches Pop. Their sound grew out of Kate Bush, Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran, The xx and Carly Rae Jepsen. Those roots explain a lot about how Birdy arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Rhodes, James Bay, Sia, Freya Ridings and Billie Marten, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mumford & Sons, Jaymes Young, Sigma, Adonxs and Uppermost, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 45 connections around Birdy, reaching back through Kate Bush and forward to Mumford & Sons.
