Listening to her music, it would be so easy to imagine that Lenka’s universe is a bright, rainbow-colored world where the only problems (if ever there are any) are relationship issues. “Trouble Is A Friend,” she would like you to believe, but really, the only trouble she’s probably familiar with is the kind of trouble that you won’t worry about as soon as it gets resolved in a week.
Lenka (born Lenka Kripac) is a Slavic derivation of the Italian name “Elena,” which means “torch”. Lenka’s bubbly pop music is light in a sea of music that’s either too manufactured for its own good or too attuned to these cynical times.
