The final twotracks offer up alternative versions of the old Smiths’classic‘How Soon Is Now’,showing thediversity of Birds’influences, however it is her own material that stands out here, in particularthe aforementioned‘Roy’,which is without doubt one of the best songs of 2025 so far.’’AMERICANA UK“Beautifully written, masterfully arranged, and delivered with poeticfinesse,‘Sunny Days’is astandout release from a singular artist. Utterly gorgeous.”RECORD OF THE DAY"Bird's "Daddy" is not mere melody; it is an excavation, a sonic archaeology of the humanheart, laid bare with a vulnerability that is both breathtaking and profoundly moving. In aworld saturated with fleeting trends and manufactured emotions, Bird offers something trulyrare: authenticity. And in "Daddy," she delivers it with a power that is both undeniable andunforgettable. This release, and the upcoming EP, are set to be milestones in an alreadyimpressive career"-Jamsphere
