Jade Bird has announced her self-titled debut album.

The Northumbrian singer-songwriter has announced that she will be releasing her debut album Jade Bird on April 19 via Glassnote records. Her style is something along the lines of Dolly Parton meets Nirvana, i.e. a whole lot of power and plenty of edge.

The twenty-one year old up-and-coming star has been active since 2015 and after Rolling Stone described her vocals on her EP as “raw and robust”, we’ve been keeping one eye on her to see what she does next.

Bird said of the record: “This album is my experience, direct and undiluted, of the past two years. Every decision I’ve made has culminated into this magical process, just as every word I’ve written has spun into these songs. It changes in style, like most of my music, and tries to dodge boxes and genres but the consistency is me – a young woman really trying to figure it out”.

The full tracklisting is as follows:

‘Ruins’
‘Lottery’
‘I Get No Joy’
‘Side Effects’
‘My Motto’
‘Does Anybody Know’
‘Uh Huh’
‘Good At It’
’17’
‘Love Has All Been Done Before’
‘Going Gone’
‘If I Die’
