Different Kinds Of Light
Jade Bird releases her highly anticipated second album, Different Kinds Of Light (produced by Grammy-nominated producer Dave Cobb)
Different Kinds of Light was properly born in a rental in upstate New York in January 2020. (When Jade finished her day’s writing in the shed and walked back to the house, there were often bear tracks in the snow.) Some came from the song-a-day project that she undertook during lockdown, which she spent with her boyfriend, her mum and grandma at home near Gatwick. In Mexico, she pushed herself to write more and found her British influences – The Smiths, Cocteau Twins – coming out.Â
For Jade Bird, the second that lockdown lifted in 2020, there were no aimless summer days spent meeting friends in parks; no languorous evenings in pub gardens. She was headed straight back to Nashville to complete her second album – albeit via a strict two-week quarantine in Mexico City. She allowed herself to see no more of the Mexican capital than the local store and a leg-stretching walk around the block, not wanting to jeopardise any chance of being allowed into the States to finish what she had started with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, John Prine, Lady Gaga).
