In Sydney, Australia, Lenka was a teen actress who trained with Cate Blanchett, thereafter landing leading roles on stage, television and indie films. A self-described 'punk-ass art school student' and vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie Electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring. She has flung herself into two new worlds simultaneously: she's moved to California and become a solo artist. Whether channelling our long-repressed terrors ('Trouble') or long-lost innocence ('We Will Not Grow Old'), her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally. Lenka's fresh sensibility extends to every element of her music, as the whimsical, paper art, stoimated videos she creates.'It's a mood-enhancer,' she says of her record, 'I don't like it when people are depressed. I want to cheer them up.'

- I first heard "Trouble Is A Friend" on an episode of "Grey's Anatomy" and I went and bought the album the next day. Since then, the album has been playing constantly in my car. Every single song is great, which is really a unique thing these days. It makes wonderful background music if you just want to chill out and relax in a good mood.

- Enchanting voice with a beautiful array of accompanying instruments! DEBUT ARTIST!!
- I first heard Lenka's voice on the 5th episode of Grey's Anatomy latest season and was taken aback by her resonating voice! I found a couple more of her songs on youtube and she was just mesmerizing!! Plus, a variety of cellos, violins, pianos, etc all keep your interest when her voice is gone.

- Listening to this CD Just Makes Me Happy
- Having a rotten day? Slip in this upbeat CD from Australian singer Lenka and get a little zing of upbeat pop music. This talented singer-songwriter has created a wonderful collection of hummable tunes -- there's really not a bad track on this album. I'm a middle-aged mom who usually sticks to show tunes, but this whimsical, thoughtful, cheerful album appeals to all my sing-along More reviews
