Australian singer-songwriter, Lenka, responsible for the catchiest song of 2008, has written a Secret Playlist for us which cites a disparate range of musical influences, from She and Him, to Goldfrapp, The Beatles and The Stranglers. It makes for a fun read, even if we do say ourselves. Listen to Lenka’s debut single, The Show.

Lenka’s music is cute, but not real. She seems like she’s acting or something. I love the new crop of female artists that are coming out these days, like Brandi Carlisle and Meiko – have you heard her music? http://www.myspace.com/meiko – have a listen — sooooo good!

I agree with Rebecca B; only I couldn’t define it until she said it. But it is difficult to make music this whimsical and not act, a little bit! Because it’s very nostalgic and cheery.
All the same, I would love to hear what she does in future!

Well I agree with curiousmoth. Her music is whimsical, and after all she does describe herself as making “melodramatic” music, which is all part of her interesting stage persona. But if you see her live, she is actually very real, at the same time. It makes a nice change to see something different and entertaining instead of just a straight delivery. Is there anything wrong with enhancing the lyrics and music with some so-called “acting”?
