Heavily influenced by art, literature and fashion, Lena’s musical interests growing up included Elvis, The Cure, David Bowie and other stellar U.K. rockers. Her songs evoke a rhythmic trance and otherworldly intense emotional connection, as Lena’s music is possessed of melodic, rich vocals throughout the LP journey from an emotional growth from life’s losses.
