Motherhood changes a person, so it must also hold true that motherhood affects anything a person creates. It did for Lenka, who found herself reflecting on life in a new way when it came time to create her third album, Shadows, a quietly hushed collection of emotionally-charged lullabies.

After the release of her second album, Two, in 2011, Lenka began penning new music, gathering songs from a variety of sessions throughout her pregnancy and first few months as a mother. The impact of creating a new person reverberated deeply in the music and lyrics that emerged, even if not always in the most direct way.

Lenka, whose music has gained a sizeable appeal on a worldwide scale over the past few years, is interested in evolving her live show to reflect the sonic difference between her new album and her prior releases, Two and her 2008 self-titled debut.

Lenka has spent much of her time on this earth making music to soothe her own heart and hopefully yours. Her early career as an actress spiked everything with a sense of drama. Her education in fine art peppered all with visual expression.

Her love of nature began with a blissful early childhood in the Australian bush. Career highs saw her tour the world extensively and perform on live TV around the globe. Her recent entry into motherhood shines a new light on everything. And it all gets mixed up together to form the songs you hear here.

Her third album sees her returning to work with her favorite producers and coming full circle to collaborate with a former Decoder Ring bandmate. The new music will be a collection of Lullabies for Adults.

Lenka’s songs have been featured in many global film and TV placements such as Moneyball, Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, Old Navy and Coke, to name a few. Her work on Decoder Ring’s Somersault soundtrack won the AFI for best song from a film. And recently Billy Crystal sang an excerpt of The Show at the Oscars.
