來自澳洲全名Lenka Kripac的Lenka,六歲時伴隨吹奏小號的父親而開口歌唱,慢慢培養出對音樂的高度興趣。移居悉尼之後,Lenka開始學習舞蹈等表演課程,進入藝術學院加強其發聲訓練。2004年加入Electronic-Rock團體Decoder Ring,替短片《猶太男孩/Jewboy》編寫配樂而風靡許多電影節會場,更躍登澳洲大小音樂祭典舞台。Lenka飛到美國洛杉磯尋找更多音樂靈感,同時不斷於工作室裡頭製作自己的歌曲,2007年獲得Epic Records賞識,順利簽入旗下籌備個人專輯。
首張同名大碟《Lenka》,一次動員Stuart Brawley(Celine Dion、Seal、The Rolling Stones)、Pierre Marchand(Sarah McLachlan、Rufus Wainwright、BT)、Mike Elizondo(Maroon 5、Pink、Sheryl Crow)、John Alagia(Dave Matthews Band、John Mayer、Jason Mraz)、Jason Lader(Jay-Z、Gwen Stefani、Coldplay)等五位當紅製作人連手打造。輕巧舒服的開場曲《The Show》,倚著曼妙琴韻隨處飄揚,Lenka的嗓音甜而不膩且像個小淘氣般蹦跳游移其中,絕對討好你挑剔的雙耳;無壓舒緩的引出《Skipalong》,輕柔撫慰成人世界的疲憊心靈;飄散如Jem、Feist這類電氣女伶相似迷離音場的《Don’t Let Me Fall》,加料的有著弦樂適時輔佐,拉開更為美麗的章節片段;小心翼翼的讓Acoustic吉他不越矩的迴蕩《Knock Knock》裡頭,動聽滿點的讓你不忍隨樂搖擺;《Dangerous And Sweet》、《We Will Not Grow Old》等曲目都是值得你一再反覆聆聽的推薦佳作。
歌詞
I am happy to be sad
It's funny when I am mad
I don't really make sense
But I know that that's not bad
I am lonely in a crowd
And I am quiet when it's loud
No I don't know what I want
But I will figure it all out
I like to move around to different beat
I'll walk away then smile in my own street
And I don't really mind when you are fake
Cuz I am me and that's unique
I am living in my own world every day
I'm partly by myself in my own way
Might look a little funny but that's okay
Cuz I am me and that's unique
I am me and that's unique
I love you when you're mean
I feel dirty when I'm clean
No I don't really make sense
But I know that you know what I mean
I'm hungry late at night
And I'm tired when it's light
I've got my imperfections but I know that that's alright
I like to move around to different beat
I'll walk away then smile in my own street
And I don't really mind when you are fake
Cuz I am me and that's unique
I am living in my own world every day
I'm partly by myself in my own way
Might look a little funny but that's okay
Cuz I am me and that's unique
Why should I be like everybody?
It's overrated being ordinary
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I am me and that's unique
I like to move around to different beat
I'll walk away then smile in my own street
And I don't really mind when you are fake
Cuz I am me and that's unique
I am living in my own world every day
I'm partly by myself in my own way
Might look a little funny but that's okay
Cuz I am me and that's unique
I am me and that's unique
I am me and that's unique
