Birdy to Perform at Ellen DeGeneres Show From March 20–21

British singer/songwriter Birdy, who has been thrilling fans across the Atlantic with her richly compelling voice, will make her network television debut on American television talk show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on March 20, followed by an appearance on TBS's Conan on March 21.

The two high-profile TV performances coincide with the release of the 15-year-old's self-titled debut album, which will be released by Warner Bros. Records on March 20. The album features Birdy's soulful and sophisticated take on songs by Bon Iver (first single "Skinny Love"), The xx (second UK single "Shelter"), Fleet Foxes, The National, Phoenix, The Postal Service, and veteran troubadour James Taylor ("Fire and Rain"). Los Angeles' influential KCRW, the first radio station in the country to play Birdy, currently has her cover of Phoenix's "1901" in high rotation.

The album was recorded in London and Los Angeles with producers Rich Costey (Muse, TV On The Radio), James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, The Klaxons), and Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys.) Propelled by "Skinny Love" (and its haunting video directed by Sophie Mueller, which has racked up more than 17.5 million views on YouTube), and "Shelter" (4.6 million views), Birdy shot to No. 13 in the UK upon its release in November 2011 and achieved Silver certification there, while going platinum in Holland where both singles are currently lodged in the Top 10.

The album has also earned raves from critics. The UK's Evening Standard writes that Birdy "has a voice of astonishing richness and plays piano with the aplomb of a concert hall crowd pleaser," while The Sun notes that both her "heart-stopping renditions of emotionally hefty songs by Bon Iver" and "her own impressively mature compositions" are "characterized by a grace, beauty and poise" that is "hard to believe could come from a slight shy teen."
