“Lenka has the power to heal…” – BILLBOARD
(NEW YORK, NEW YORK) – Even if you don’t know Lenka by name, you’ve most certainly heard her music. The multi-talented Australian singer and actress is best known for her song, “The Show,” which was featured in the 2011 Oscar-nominated film, Moneyball. And, her song, “Everything at Once,” was used in commercials for Microsoft Windows 8 and Disney Movie Rewards.
Now, Lenka releases “Heal,” the first single from her much anticipated fifth studio album, Attune, out October 13, 2017. After a decade of international success with Epic/Sony, Attune sees Lenka taking on the role of producer and releasing the album through her own label, Skipalong Records. Lenka fans across the globe will surely appreciate that the artist’s creative process has become notably more intimate and completely self-guided.
“’Heal’ was written with Sally Seltmann (Feist’s “1234”) whilst drinking tea in my home in Sydney,” shares Lenka. “It is inspired by a difficult situation I was having with a female friend where we really had to resolve conflict in a peaceful way to move forward and save our friendship. It’s about the struggle against the fighter we all have inside us to find a gentle, humble, peaceful resolution in human relationships.”
“Heal” officially premiered with Billboard on September 7, and is available on all DSPs September 8.
Born Lenka Kripac in the Australian coastal town of Bega, Lenka’s family moved to Sydney when she was seven years old. It was here that she received schooling in acting and music, and began work as a highly regarded actress. As a teenager, Lenka studied at the Australian Theatre For Young People, where she trained with Cate Blanchett. Aussies know Lenka from her starring role as Vesna Kapek on the Australian ABC series GP. She also hosted Cheez TV and has guest starred in other Australian TV series, including Home and Away, Wild Side, Head Start, and Spellbinder.
Lenka was also a vocalist and keyboardist for beloved and critically-acclaimed Australian electronic-rock band, Decoder Ring.
Lenka has released four studio albums: Lenka, Two, Shadows and The Bright Side.
Catch Lenka at Hotel Café in Los Angeles on October 17 and at the Mercury Lounge in New York City on October 19.
