Release Notes:
Lenka’s “Two” is a pleasant little release that doesn’t ruffle any
feathers and may produce a couple of radio hits
The Australian pop ingйnue caught my ear with “Roll with the
Punches,” a tune that would be at home having a tea party with She
and Him, Ingrid Michaelson and Regina Spektor. The plucky vocal
stylings of Spektor meets the faux vintage sound of She and Him while
the exuberant arrangements of Michaelson cap the song. There are
horns, strings and a choir. It is impossible to dislike, for real.
But, as is the case with many singles on straight pop albums these
days, there’s nothing on “Two” that can match the exuberant blast of
“Roll with the Punches,” much less top it. Second single “My Heart
Skips a Beat” features Lenka’s vocals more prominently and the
arrangement less than the first single. The tune is sleeker, and it’s
a nice, mature offering.
The rest of “Two” splits time between the two camps. “Everything at
Once” is a nice pared-down tune, featuring a relatively aggressive
vocal performance (although not nearly as vicious as Spektor can
get). “Shocked Me Into Love” is a foot-tapping, ‘80s-pool-party
throwback that’s could hit mixtapes like crazy this summer. “End of
the World” is one of the only tunes that re-uses the faux vintage
that helped make “Roll with the Punches” rule, and as a result it’s a
highlight. Other numbers show her in ballad mood or faux-disco mood,
which doesn’t work as well as the other fake vintage sound she
appropriates.
Buy “Roll with the Punches” from iTunes, stat, no matter who you are.
If you like it a lot, move on to “My Heart Skips a Beat.” Proceed in
this fashion until you dislike a track or you have completed the
album, which comes out the 19th. No worries, though; even if you
dislike it, it won’t ask too much of you.
