No doubt if you live in the UK, you'll have heard this song by now, but I figured I might as well post it for everyone else.
This is Birdy, AKA Jasmine Van den Bogaerde. She just turned 15. This cover of Bon Iver's brilliantly haunting song Skinny Love has skyrocketed her to the top of the UK charts in the last month or so. Admittedly, the music side of the cover's not brilliant or anything, but considering her age, I'd say it's quite impressive. Plus, there's no denying her astonishing voice. And I normally pay very little attention to the singer's voice, when it comes to music.
Of course, she has nothing on Bon Iver but at least, if nothing else, she's introduced an awful lot of people (myself included) to this fantastic song.
