Winter Sun

New single Winter Sun out now!

Stream

This song was written in the middle of the 2020 Covid pandemic lockdown. I was sitting with my ukulele in a stream of winter sun, thinking about a friend who was going through personal tragedy whilst also being isolated in lockdown. The warmth of the sun reminded me of friendship and how people can provide that same goodness to each other when times are tough. Right now the world has many devastating things going on, horrible war, intense natural disasters cause by climate change… The darkness is overwhelming, but we need to find room for hope. I hope we can all let rays of gentle sunshine in.

Lots of love to you all, thanks for listening. xxLenka

Ivory Tower Video!

Check out the video for Ivory Tower, co-directed by Lenka and Mitch Hertz.

 

 

This video was shot “selfie-style” in Lenka’s daughter’s bedroom, on a iPhone, with lights, costumes and wigs from the dress-up box. The footage was then animated by Mitch Hertz into a vintage-MTV-Monty Python-esque paper art world of revolving towers where she exists, oblivious and entitled; the princess in the Ivory Tower.

New Song release: Ivory Tower

I’m very excited to share with you a new song I wrote last year during lockdown. It’s called Ivory Tower and I had a huge amount of fun creating it with Sydney-based producer and artist Dave Jenkins Jr.

The song is mostly sung from the perspective of a character; I was trying to get inside the head of the archetype of the modern day “rich bitch” princess; stuck in a fancy tower of her own creation, while the world crumbles around and she does nothing to help. She just enjoys the power, corruption and destruction. So it’s sort of a social commentary but I was trying to imagine the sympathetic things she tells herself and relate…

Then it’s all framed within a track that conjures up 80s synth-pop and a revelling in decadence and vanity.  Cue manic laughter: Bahahaha!

I hope you enjoy it as much as i do…
