Lenka

Lenka makes the kind of music I reach for when I want my shoulders to drop. "The Show" is deceptively simple, sweet, lilting, instantly familiar, which is probably why it ended up in Old Navy ads and Moneyball, while "Everything at Once" soundtracked a Windows 8 campaign. What I admire is that she found mainstream, commercial reach without ever sharpening her edges or chasing trends. This Bega-born Australian singer-songwriter and actress simply trusts gentleness as a strength. In a pop landscape that rewards noise, writing music that quietly untangles you is rarer than it looks, and I keep coming back to it.
