Birdy, a.k.a British singer/songwriter Jasmine van den Bogaerde, began her career as a talented teen, audaciously reshaping songs by esteemed indie acts such as Bon Iver, The xx and The National on her self-titled 2011 debut. Fire Within, her 2013 follow-up, offered more original fare—emotive piano-led pop shot through with a fierce, trembling soprano. Take flight through this collection of dreamy-but-deep alternative pop, and hear the hits that have made this Hampshire-born artist a firm favourite.
