Jade Bird – Avalanche
In the run up to her third studio album Who Wants To Talk About Love?, UK born but LA-based singer songwriter Jade Bird has shared first cut ‘Who Wants’ before dropping the magnificent gut-punch of ‘Dreams’ alongside the album announcement.
Today she shares a third offering – the poignant and crushing ‘Avalanche’.
As ballads go, this song really speaks to the soul – depicting a time where Jade felt suffocated by the sheer weight of her emotions, searching for a way out of the encroaching darkness. Written by Jade and Produced by Teddy Geiger (Leon Bridges/Caroline Polachek), the song shows another subtler, stripped-back side to the new record; beautifully sweet in its melody but equally exposes a narrative that embraces the weighty themes found on Who Wants To Talk About Love?. On the track, Jade shared, “At my lowest, I wrote this song. It was about feeling so suffocated that you can’t see a way out or a light. In the bridge, I let that light in.”
Exec. produced with platinum selling Andrew Wells (Phoebe Bridgers/Teddy Swims) and with contributions by Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver / Big Thief) and Greg Kurstin (Adele), Who Wants To Talk About Love? is a cathartic reckoning of historical experience – an expulsion of complex thoughts and feelings buried deep in Jade’s psyche for years. It’s a moment in time where facing her truth, her fears and her reality in this world became unavoidable. Self-induced therapy through song that journeys through love, loss and forgiveness resulting in a new sense of self and freedom from family entanglement.
“I wrote this album while trying to make sense of the broken relationships in my family- my parents, both sets of grandparents – and the way they echoed into my own life when my engagement ended. It’s as much a question as an answer, wondering if I could break the cycle while finding my own path to forgiveness- not just from my dad, but for myself.” – Jade Bird
