We got our music team to review “Keeping Your Head Up”, the new single from Birdy, using only one sentence each! Listen to the song below, and see whom you agree with!
Gracie McCabe – “Slow vocal line working against a staccato piano background makes for a nice upbeat tempo and melody.”
Molly Pearson – “It is hard to hear exactly what the lyrics are, but going by the music I would expect them to be positive and upbeat.”
Tara El Kashef – “The kind of song that you’d be happy to dance to but there are a few that sound similar.”
Julia Khlyzova – “Unoriginal, next!”
Cheylea Hopkinson – “I really enjoyed the vocals and harmonies, but it sounds like a million things I’ve heard before.”
Tanmaiyii Rao – “I really liked the song, it’s got a nice tune and catchy lyrics.”

Emily Dixon – “So different to her normal stuff – I love it, and her range is insane.”
