Is it bold or even informative to spotlight a band or performer in the final weeks of a breakthrough year as an “Artist to Watch” in the following year? In the abstract, it sounds like a situation of finding room on an already well-populated bandwagon in hopes of being credited with helping build the platform. Jade Bird is an exception. She experienced a breakout in 2018; it was a year of accomplishments. But naming Jade Bird as an “Artist To Watch in 2019” is insightful, since it is a prediction that she can maintain the steep trajectory of 2018.
Vevo named Jade Bird one their 2019 Artists To Watch. After repeatedly watching videos of the exclusive live performance for the annual series, we agree. Separately, the two videos are testimonies to her skills. Together, they show Bird’s versatility. “Love Has All Been Done Before” is vocally powerful as she belts out an explanation of what she is looking for in a relationship. The lyrics are included in this post - sweetness and pureness are not carrying the day. In comparison, “What Am I Here For” is a gentle vocal purity questioning a romance that appears one-sided.

“What Am I Here For” by Jade Bird
Lyrics of “Love Has All Been Done Before” by Jade Bird
Sick and tired of just lettin' you in
Just to let you down again
Exasperated with the expectation
You'll be more than just a friend
But in honesty that I, I can be
A fourth finger with four limbs to carry
Won't let you make a fool out of me, boy
See boy
You are good and you are pure
The angel knockin' at my door
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
And you are sweet and you are nice
Keep me calm and satisfied
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
You almost had me for a minute there
Givin' my whole life to this love affair
Well I'm not gonna sit here and stroke your hair
You almost had me for a minute there
It doesn't help that you mean well
They say the devil's in the detail
And I'm tryin' not to raise hell
But it's lightning 'fore the rain fell
You are good and you are pure
The angel knockin' at my door
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
And you are sweet and you are nice
Keep me calm and satisfied
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
Everything's a rerun
Before it's even begun
Tell me, what's the reason?
If everything's a season
Then I'm a setting sun
We're already done
You are good and you are pure
The angel knockin' at my door
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
And you are sweet and you are nice
Keep me calm and satisfied
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
We're already done
You are good and you are pure
The angel knockin' at my door
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
You are sweet and you are nice
Keep me calm and satisfied
But I need something, something more
'Cause love has all been done before
Oh, love has all been done before
Love has all been done before
Love has all been done before
Love has all been done before
You are sweet and you are pure
But love has all been done before
