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

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…

2020 was quite a year, a sucky, terrible year, as we all know. Plans were ripped away from us and all we could do was learn to go with the flow. Which is a great and difficult lesson to learn. And re-learn. Again and again. 

I found it hard to continue with any music plans after my tours were cancelled, but eventually found my way back and have written a few new songs that i absolutely love and will hopefully release in 2021…!

Communicating with those of you who listen to my music has been a very special thing, so thank you for your messages and continued support. If i have helped you get through some of the tougher days, then i cherish that, and it helps me get through my tougher days too.

I am now offering Cameos, and donating my proceeds to really good causes, so if you would like a special message head to cameo.com/lenkamusic

Lots of love,
