Probably mostly recognised from the Oscar winning film ‘Crash’, ‘In The Deep’ was in fact part of an album made many years before the release of the film.
Singer Kathleen Bird, performing under her stage name Bird York, has the most effortlessly beautiful voice. Almost whispering through the track, no emotion is lost as she retains every word within the ‘underwater’ production of what is a truly sublime song.

It’s the subtle additions, the keys on the piano sound like they’re barely being touched – much like Kathleen’s voice where it’s the very softness which turns out more powerful than any belted out note.
Lush and rich in colour and emotion, if you’ve seen the film you’ll appreciate its meaning and its worthiness for the Oscar nomination in song category. If you haven’t seen ‘Crash’, then I’m sure after listening you’ll appreciate ‘In The Deep’ for what it is, an exquisite piece of music.
