Michael Bird – Roots

Underground UK talent Michael Bird returns to the ether with the emotional sounds of “Roots” – lifted from his forthcoming EP Evergreen due out early 2024.

An offering which tugs at the heartstrings through its rich orchestral moments and a lyrical narrative written from the depths of Bird’s emotions, “Roots” touches on a sensitive subject exploring patterns of broken relationships passed through generations.

Skilfully utilizing metaphors of deciduous leaves dropping, “Roots” explores how people might engage with long-term relationships differently, touching on heavy topics like generational pain in a poetic and beautiful way that weaves in hope – bringing the lyrics to life via earthy sounds artistically balanced with the dark mid-tempo groove.

Speaking on the track, Michael Bird shared: “The song started with the sample that plays at the start. We created this sample ourselves by layering lots of different sounds and then pitching it up and chopped it. When we had the sample playing over and over, it felt like autumn leaves were swirling around the studio. We decided to use that as our writing palette and wrote lyrics that used deciduous and evergreen trees as a metaphor.”

Coming together as a soulful new instalment to the British artist’s growing catalogue of emotionally layered creations, “Roots” points to an exciting new direction for the rising artist and comes as the latest in a string of vulnerable releases from the underground talent, building up to his upcoming EP Evergreen – a project billed as a deep dive into the nuances in relationships and discovering hope in the midst of struggles.

Navigating intimacy and ego with thoughtfulness and honesty, Michael Bird takes a detailed approach to composition. From the underlying harmony to the textures in each note, he beckons for the listener’s full attention, promising character and depth with his charming yet soulful vocal range. 

A music video for “Roots” is also on the way – but in the meantime, dive into the rich sonics of Michael’s sensational new offering as we look forward to his Evergreen EP release.
