Jade Bird – Burn The Hard Drive
UK-born and Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Jade Bird has today announced her forthcoming EP, Burn The Hard Drive, out April 10th on Glassnote Records. Like falling in love, break-ups start slowly and then happen all at once. For Jade Bird, the end of her relationship gathered pace and crashed into reality in 2022, resulting in the beautifully temperate EP Burn The Hard Drive. The EP, created with Alex Crossan, known better as Mura Masa, is a short collection of songs that paint the various stages of grief that come with the end of a relationship in devastatingly astute but carefully optimistic strokes.
Today, Bird shares the latest tease of the EP with her new single “You’ve Fallen In Love Again,” where Bird’s hushed vocals twinkle across a winding bass line with otherworldly synths popping in and out of focus.
“I think we tapped into the dissociative mood I was in – I felt like I was hovering above myself,” she says. The song suggests a fear of finding herself back in an unhealthy relationship, the trap of falling in love. “I think that is probably the most relatable feeling, as opposed to the heartbreak. I needed to be free.”
The track is accompanied by a psychedelic-inspired video, directed by Aries Moross, set in California’s Mojave desert.
