Lenka - 2

Lenka - Sophomore effort from Aussie songsmith is a brightly spangled electro-pop affair, redeemed from sugary excess by solid, radio-friendly melodies and production from David Kosten (Bat for Lashes), Guy Sigsworth (Bjork, Frou Frou) and Eg White (Adele, Duffy) // Release: 2 (April 19, Epic) // Quote: "Björk was the first artist that made me realize it wasn't illegal to have a computer beat in a song and that it can still be beautiful and emotional." // Sounds like: a completely carefree and irony-free frolic that hovers near the guilty pleasure intersection of glossy and bubbly...80's styled synth-beds and sing-a-long choruses all about love (or is that luv) // What we like: the sheer, unfettered sunniness and updated girl-group strut of "Heat Skips A Beat"...the big chorus and music hall theatrics of "Roll With the Punches"...

Hey, I liked this when I heard it the first time, like on her first album? OK I kid, but there are some similar sounding songs. Perhaps that is thallmark of the artist more so than the listener's ears. All in all i have to say enjoyable and likable. This will be my favoirite music of 2011.
