Search - Lena Fayre :: Oko (Physical CD)

Featured by Rolling Stone Magazine as a "New Artist You Need to Know," songs from 18-year-old singer songwriter Lena Fayre's self-titled 2013 debut EP boast millions of views on YouTube and have received several awards. Fiercely independent, Lena Fayre set out to deliver the next installment in her evolution as an artist around her emancipated musical vision, which she calls "deconstructed pop"," encompassing an indie vibe with rhythmic trance elements sprinkled in the tracks. Collaborating with producers Jimmy Harry and Sean Gould, Lena Fayre created a set of melodic songs centered on masterful programming and lush vocals. Next, producer Chris Keup hosted Lena Fayre at his recording studio where they conceived a set of intensely artful songs, working with eclectic collaborators ranging from the Dirty Projectors' Olga Bell to Bon Iver's Reggie Pace. Lena completed the project working with producers John Alagia and Nolan Sipe. The result is "OKO", an 11-song LP where abandonment, self-awareness and consciousness coalesce. The first single off the album, provocatively titled "I Am Not A Man," is lyrically fascinating and vocally seductive. Written by Lena Fayre and singer-songwriter Liz Phair, it is a smart example of OKO's sound. Tracks: 1. I Am Not A Man 2. The Tiger's;s Bride 3. Everybody's In 4. Gold Standard King 5. Games 6.
