Musical Mondays: Lenka

0
0

the first time my ears were blessed to hear a Lenka tune was during an Old Navy commercial around 2008. i immediately knew i had to find out who this eccentric pop singer was…and i am so glad i did because she has been one of my favorite artists ever since!!

the super bubbly Australian born singer-songwriter started her career off at an early age as an artist and actress, impressively working along side Cate Blanchett. Lenka was part of a electronic-rock band before branching out on her own and releasing her debut album “Lenka”.

after the first time i listened to this album i knew i would be a fan for life!! a few of the more upbeat songs like “trouble is a friend” and “dangerous and sweet” are a few of my faves, but there is one song that completely enraptures me every single time i listen to it:

“like a song” by lenka is one of the creepiest, most beautiful interpretation of feelings ive had the pleasure of hearing. you can hear the haunting emotion in her voice as well as the lyrics – heres a few lines:
small_heart
I can’t forget you when you’re gone
You’re like a song that goes around in my head
And how I regret, it’s been so long
Oh, what went wrong? Could it be something I said?

Time, make it go faster or just rewind
To back when I’m wrapped in your arms

All afternoon long it’s with me the same song
You left a light on inside me, my love
I can remember the way that it felt to be
Holding on to you
small_heart
ugh, that song gets me every time!

in 2011, lenka released her second album “two” including the hits “heart skips a beat”, and “everythings ok”.

another song that did very well was “everything at once”, which i think describes how the mind of every female in the world works!

Lenka’s 2013 release “Shadows”, while not as happy pop as her first two albums, is a winner in itself focusing more on a grown up but still fun vibe. “nothing here but love” is a powerful dedication to Lenka’s unborn child at the time and is definitely my favorite record:
i have been told i have an eclectic taste in music, and Lenka is some proof of that! are you a fan of her music? if so, whats your favorite song?
