Music Box #37: Jade Bird

British singer-songwriter Jade Bird is the latest artist to star in our fourth season of Music Box sessions.

The 21-year-old is one of the most exciting new talents to emerge this year – attracting new fans with witty, dynamic songs like "Lottery" and "Uh Huh".

We invited her back to the studio for a Music Box session after she blew us away with a Facebook Live video earlier this year. This time she performed three original songs: "Lottery", "Uh Huh", and her new single "Love Has All Been Done Before".

The Independent's video team has become very good at having all kinds of set-ups – from a full pop band plus backing musicians (Bastille) to a keyboard, cello and a violin (Billy Lockett) – and we've enjoyed them all, but it's a bit of a treat when an artist like Jade rocks up with her acoustic guitar and blows us away, no frills.

Watch her amazing session above, and make sure you try to make a show on her UK tour, beginning on 21 November at Electric Brixton in London, and also taking in dates in Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds and Exeter.

See all the latest Music Box sessions here. Music Box season 4 continues every Monday until 26 November.
