Perhaps the missing link between Selena Gomez (for her youth), Tori Amos (for the irresistible piano) and Susan Boyle (for her penchant for improbable covers), 15-year-old Jasmine van den Bogaerde made quite a splash on the British charts last year with her dramatic reinterpretation of Bon Iver’s Skinny Love. On her Jim Abbiss-produced debut almost entirely comprised of covers, she makes the most of her melodramatic interpretive skills on The xx’s Shelter, Cherry Ghost’s People Help the People and The National’s Terrible Love. She often falls flat, particularly as she sucks the life out of Phoenix’s 1901 and converts Fleet Foxes’ utterly magical White Winter Hymnal into a Sesame Street-like ditty. Though the sole van den Bogaerde-penned track, Without a Word, suggests that Birdy is here for the long haul, even if her debut is full of ephemeral pleasures.
