Lenka - The Show
Ever since I first heard this song a week ago, I’ve always thought “I must find out who this is and get it” but then, like most women, I just forgot and it sank into my endless mind of ‘things to do.’
But when I opened up the latest ecard from Sony BMG, I nearly squealed with excitement when I heard ‘that song’ blasting out of my temperamental computer - trust me, it was one of the rare moments when I looked at my comp and didn’t want to throw it out of the window.
Anyway, Lenka, the Aussie stunner has one of the most beautiful ‘sunshine’ voices you’ve ever heard… I mean, we all love KT Tunstall and her band of musical followers, who seem to make music sound like a giant cloud of happiness, but Lenika blows them all out of the metaphorical sky with The Show.
Chosen to be Radio One’s song of the week, these is clear potential for this young star, and her fairground approach to happy, go-lucky music is refreshing in a time where we all spent way too much time dwelling over the damn credit crunch.
Rating: 5/5 - the perfect summer pick-me-up
