Yes!

Yet ANOTHER new song from the already-incredible soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 and Beyond!

Check out the hauntingly beautiful Just A Game, from the immensely talented 15-year-old Birdy…AFTER THE JUMP!

In many ways, Birdy is a lot like Susan Boyle.

Both are British female vocalists who began their careers in talent shows and went on to do mostly cover songs. And we don't usually love artists that mainly do cover songs, but something about these two is quite compelling.

We've posted about Birdy before and we love her. We just got her new album and it is more of the same, which is more songs featuring her haunting voice against stark arrangements - like in People Help The People, a song originally by Cherry Ghost.

We do look forward to hearing original songs from her. But she's only 15! That will come with age!

Check out People Help The People (above). Then CLICK HERE to listen to more music from Birdy!

Stunning. Ravishing. Exquisite. Compelling.

Birdy is all that and MORE!

SUCH a talented teenager!

Only 15!!!!!!

One of our favorite new artists of 2011 - by far!

Check out Birdy's MUST-LISTEN cover of Ed Sheeran's The A Team (above).

We're not familiar with the original song, but we can't get enough of her version - or her!!!!!

What splendid timing!!!

Our latest musical obsession, 15 year old British pianist/singer Birdy, has JUST released an official music video for her reworking of The XX's Shelter.

Check it out (above)!!!!

It is rare that we recommend a new artist twice in one week for our "Listen To This" recommendation, but Birdy is THAT GOOD!

We just can't get enough of the piano-playing 15 year old British ingenue!!!

Early this week, we posted her The XX cover, Shelter.

Well, her cover of Bon Iver's Skinny Love is just as haunting!

Check that out - and the accompanying video - above!

And if you're loving Birdy as much as we are, tell a friend about her!

This girl deserves to be heard by the masses!

This made us cry!

So powerful! Moving! SPECIAL!

Her name is Birdy. She's only 15 years old. And she's absolutely stunning!

You MUST check out her cover of The XX's Shelter (above). Her haunting take reminds us of Tori Amos, whom we love, and we also love The XX.

Birdy's take on the song gave us chills!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Listen and share with your friends!!!
