Jade Bird announces third album, Who Wants to Talk About Love

"Dreams" as Jade Bird explains is a “very dark song. I saw a billboard driving to the studio after a bit of a nasty breakdown. I'd gone to sleep at five am the night before and read 'this is what dreams are made of'. Combined with the LA sun I felt a deep irony. It's about feeling too broken to be with the person you love. Pushing them away because of generational habits and (I don't like the word) trauma.”

“I wrote this album while trying to make sense of the broken relationships in my family- my parents, both sets of grandparents - and the way they echoed into my own life when my engagement ended. It’s as much a question as an answer, wondering if I could break the cycle while finding my own path to forgiveness- not just from my dad, but for myself,” Bird explains.

"Dreams" follows "Who Wants", which marked her first new music since the Burn The Hard Drive EP, a collaboration with Mura Masa, was released last year. Who Wants to Talk About Love sees Bird evolving after the release of her 2019 eponymous debut album, and 2021's Different Kinds of Light.
