Lenka Shares New Single ‘Champion’
Australian multi-talented singer-songwriter Lenka shares her brand new single Champion, the latest single to be lifted from her upcoming album which is set to arrive in mid November.
I am really enjoying the tone of her sweet voice which exudes so much soul and heart that effortlessly draws the listener's attention to her relatable storytelling. Champion is a lovely pop/soft-rock song about being there for someone in the long run, through thick and thin, be it friends of a loving relationship. The song is packed with positive and feel-good vibes which are enhanced by its infectious production that pairs cool guitar riffs with steady drum patters, delicate piano keys, catchy rhythms and a chorus perfect to sing along to.
Speaking about the song, Lenka said,
I wanted to write a song about being someone’s champion because it really feels like that’s an important part of a healthy marriage to me. I’ve been married 11 years and myself and James really cheer each other on in our lives. Romance isn’t just about the gifts and gestures and hearts and flowers. It’s about really being there for someone in the long run. That’s what makes me feel truly loved. Working with Josh was literally a laugh a minute. I’m so glad we finally got to work together. We’ve known each other for years and years and he’s also in a healthy long term partnership. Might not be the coolest subject to write a pop song about but I feel like it’s worth immortalising these wins!
Accompanying the release, Lenka shares its official, self-directed music video, that includes animations from her partner James Gulliver Hancock illustrating the extra stuff they don’t need to prove their love. Check it out below!
