SINGLE PREMIERE: Lenka - 'On My Side'

Jessica Dale

"...an ode to relationships and the comfort I get from my partner."

More Lenka Lenka

It's been a huge few years for Lenka. 

From reaching massive international success with tracks like The Show and Everything At Once to and getting featured in films like Moneyball and Easy A, Lenka pulled back from touring and writing from the release of her 2017 album Attune. 

It was upon starting to play covers at home that she found a new inspiration for writing, with Lenka now set to release a twin EP, Recover (featuring covers including Pat Benatar's We Belong) and Discover (all original tracks).

On My Side (produced by former member of The Avalanches Darren Seltmann) is the first original song to be released from the EP, premiering with The Music today. 

"I wrote this first single, On My Side, as an ode to relationships and the comfort I get from my partner," said Lenka, "Especially in times when my existential anxiety rears its ugly head."

Check out the track above and catch Lenka at Fairgrounds Festival this weekend. Head here to find out more about Lenka and the new release.
