Jealous of the Birds unveils new single "Ode To Fire"

20 March 2020, 16:33 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Jealous of the Birds is back with her first single of 2020, "Ode To Fire".

"Ode To Fire" is the first new offering from Jealous of the Birds, aka Naomi Hamilton, since last year's "The Grass Begins To Eat Itself".

The new track is produced by Marta Salogni (Björk, M.I.A.).

Hamilton says of the new offering, ""Ode to Fire" was written during a solo trip I took to Lisbon, Portugal in the spring of last year. I'd burnt myself out and travelled there with the hope of clearing my head and recharging creatively. In the afternoons I explored the city by foot and then spent the evenings working on songs in a tiny apartment. While I was there I lived a pretty monastic existence -- especially considering that I knew no one and couldn't speak the language. The song expresses that despite how idyllic experiencing a new place and culture is, it can be difficult to fully relish in these things when one is geographically separated from one's partner. Joy is often diluted when it's not shared."

Jealous of the Birds' "Ode To Fire" single is out now.
