Little Birdy - “Brother”

Little Birdy have ditched the electro rock. Hooray! The new single “Brother” from their upcoming album Confetti sees them return to their alt-country beginnings, with acoustic guitars and duelling harmonicas courtesy of Paul Kelly. It starts out sounding a bit like that awful “Hey There Delilah” song, but redeems itself once the handclaps come in. I wonder who it’s about?

Little Birdy are handing out a free mp3 of “Brother” to anyone who signs up to their email list. Confetti is due out in May.

    What a relief to hear this. Now, I can actually say that I’m looking forward to their new stuff!

    Have to agree I’m more than happy they are back to their roots. So it seems with this number. I will defo be listening out for more to come.
    I must say though, it is nothing like that “awful” song Hey There Delilah. I happen to love that song, but Brother is not at all similar in any way shape or sound.
    Three Cheers Little Birdy for this one!
