so lenka popped by our island late last month as part of promotional tour for her second album, TWO.
she played at TAB and we were grateful to
SPINORBINMUSIC and my friend, joanne for getting us passes to the gig.

TWO, the LENKA gig, 26 February 2011 at TAB Singapore |
she opened the show with the title track, 'TWO', which was a really catchy one, then followed with her newer tunes, one of my personal favourites, 'ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES' and 'EVERYTHING AT ONCE', which was also recently featured on one of the latest episodes of grey's anatomy.

she then continued the show with 'KNOCK KNOCK' and 'DON'T LET ME FALL', both from her debut self-titled album before continuing on with her first single off the new album, 'HEART SKIPS A BEAT', which she explains the backing of the track was actually an actual recording of her heart - eerie i say ha ha then she went off to close her show with one more song off the new album, 'EVERYTHING'S OK', the words were very sweet and honest and i know it'd easily be one of my favourites hee

all of us knew that she was not going to just leave us all there without singing two of her biggest songs, and true enough, she came on stage again and sang us both 'TROUBLE IN A FRIEND' and 'THE SHOW' that got everyone singing along after she joked about the lyrics of the song and the possibility of the people there wanting their money back. and you know what, everyone was singing along with her so loud that, even lenka herself thinks 'you guys are like a choir!' ha ha

she is a very good performer and she dont need all auto-tune nonsense to sing her heart out. she was being backed up by only a two member band and i have to admit, she is good. i do wish she come back later this year for a full length show! heh
LENKA's 'TWO' is available in SINGAPORE and will be available internationally on 29th Apr 2011
