Jade Bird unveils new single 'Now Is The Time'

With her highly-anticipated new album set to land in the coming months, Jade Bird has now delivered the next cut to be lifted from her forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Now Is The Time' was premiered on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night (22nd June), and follows on from the previously shared 'Open Up The Heavens', 'Houdini', and the record's title-track in previewing her new LP 'Different Kinds Of Light', which is out on the 13th August via Glassnote Records.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “Now is the Time is the only song to have me smiling and laughing listening to it back in RCA. We had the Beegee's in mind and soul, triple tracking the vocals and putting a load of chorus on the guitar. I wrote it at the foot of our hotel bed in Mexico City, it's a big motivational anthem for someone I want to put my arms around or lift them in the darkest time. Given that I wrote it mid pandemic, the sentiment to getting to the backend of this hell is heavily felt now, when I play it live and do a two step with my bass player!!!”
