Jade Bird Shares New Single 'You've Fallen In Love Again' From 'Burn The Hard Drive' EP

UK-born and Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Jade Bird has today announced her forthcoming EP, Burn The Hard Drive, out April 10th on Glassnote Records.

Like falling in love, break-ups start slowly and then happen all at once. For Jade Bird, the end of her relationship gathered pace and crashed into reality in 2022, resulting in the beautifully temperate EP Burn The Hard Drive. The EP, created with Alex Crossan, known better as Mura Masa, is a short collection of songs that paint the various stages of grief that come with the end of a relationship in devastatingly astute but carefully optimistic strokes.

Today, Bird shares the latest tease of the EP with her new single “You've Fallen In Love Again,” where Bird's hushed vocals twinkle across a winding bass line with otherworldly synths popping in and out of focus.

“I think we tapped into the dissociative mood I was in - I felt like I was hovering above myself,” she says. The song suggests a fear of finding herself back in an unhealthy relationship, the trap of falling in love. “I think that is probably the most relatable feeling, as opposed to the heartbreak. I needed to be free.”

The track is accompanied by a psychedelic-inspired video, directed by Aries Moross, set in California's Mojave desert. Watch HERE.

Last month, Bird released the EP's title song, written during one of her last writing sessions before the breakup. "Burn The Hard Drive" is a sultry, sorrowful song that offers a digital Eternal Sunshine solution of destroying all evidence of a relationship.

The New York Times picked it for their Playlist saying, "Jade Bird sings about trying to leave behind both human and digital memories in “Burn the Hard Drive,” singing, “There's nothing left to do but erase moments one by one.” A nimble, triplet-driven, nervous-energy track concocted by the producer Mura Masa has instruments popping in and out like those stubborn, unwanted thoughts
