I like cover songs when they come from a different angle, a different corner of the heart. So, naturally, I'm digging
Birdy's version of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" -- it's not overbearing, and it showcases the 17-year-old British singer-songwriter's propensity to keep it simple. You can find it on her EP called
Breathe, which you can listen to
here.
Birdy will be performing in
St. Louis at Plush on April 28th, supporting Christina Perri.
