Nightbirde is Cowell's all-time favorite Golden Buzzer Audition. Jane would be so proud of this album, but more than that, she'd be proud of the work that the Nightbirde Foundation is doing to help others find hope and healing in the midst of tragedy." "This album doesn't pit these emotions against one another, but rather it shows joy can come through sorrow. Her work has touched the hearts of many because of her honesty and joy in the midst of sorrow," Marczewski tells People. "We're excited to share Jane's debut album with the world. A press statement calls the album a "reflection of her strength and the battle she was fighting in her own words." Proceeds from album sales will go to The Nightbirde Foundation, an organization she and her brother, Mitch Marczewski, launched to help raise funds for breast cancer treatment. The album contains songs from Nightbirde that were recorded during her health journey. The singer stayed positive, though, and updated her fans on social media until her passing in February 2022.Ī year later, Nightbirde's endless optimism and angelic vocals have now been commemorated in a 10-track album of her collected works. Unfortunately, Nightbirde's health forced her to withdraw from the competition. Judge Simon Cowell was moved by Nightbirde's performance and perseverance, and it earned the singer his coveted Golden Buzzer. The title is based on the original track Nightbirde performed during her original breathtaking AGT Audition.įor context: Nightbirde was an AGT Season 16 fan favorite from the moment she stepped on stage for her performance of "It's OK." During the Audition, Nightbirde revealed to the Judges and crowd that she was battling cancer, with the song lyrics serving as a gentle reminder to stay joyful against all odds. On February 19th, Nightbirde's family and The Nightbirde Foundation released her debut album, It's OK. It's been a year since one of AGT's most unforgettable Contestants, Jane "Nightbirde" Marczewski, passed away, but her legacy lives on.
