I recorded many of the demos for my album with Gareth including my song, 'Without A Word', which was then used in the final produced track. It's a song that is very special to me as it is the first of my own work to be featured on the album.

It was wonderful having an ear in on your session, your expertise and talent was impressive. Hope to work with you again.

As a teaser for the new album that’s due out this autumn, Birdy has just released her first original track, “Without A Word” – recorded right here at River Studios – as a free download. Just sign up to her mailing list here : www.facebook.com/BirdyMusic?sk=app_182236311830461.
It was great to have her back in the studio. Her record company, 14th Floor (part of Atlantic Records and the home of Damien Rice, Biffy Clyro, Joshua Radin and The Wombats) are really pleased with what we recorded so we hope to see more of her soon. It’s a simple live piano and voice track, for which she was mostly looking to get the right mood and she loved our new “mood lit” live room. It’s a seriously chilled place to record.
Look out for Birdy on Fearne Cotton’s Live Lounge on Tuesday the 19th of July
Birdy back in the Studio
Monday, 11 July 2011 00:00
Super talented young singer/songwriter Birdy, who has previously recorded with us and taken vocal tuition, has been recording in our newly finished recording facilities in River. Having recorded the track that got her signed in our old studio (HL Studios) it was great to have her in, recording two of her own songs, one of which will get a national release ahead of her performance on Fearne Cotton’s Live Lounge on Radio One on July 19th.
She’s an awesome talent. Expect big things!
