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