Jade Bird

"I'm realizing how neurotic my process is as I'm talking to you," Jade Bird (jade-bird.com) said, laughing, during our conversation. Indeed, Bird is pretty specific about her writing ritual, which can be intense: she usually takes a walk after writing to relieve back stiffness that comes from hunching over her notebook. And while many songwriters boost their creativity through movement, Bird says that there's nothing like a good nap.
Bird's latest album is Who Wants to Talk About Love (ffm.to/jadebird-whowantstotalkaboutlove-album)on Glassnote Records (glassnotemusic.com/jade-bird-1).
