The outing coincides with the release of her fourth studio album, The Bright Side, due out June 16 via Skipalong Records/Hickory Records/RED Distribution. The LP was produced by Chris Braide (Sia, Lana Del Rey), Tim “One Love” Sommers (B.o.B., Eminem) and Dan Romer (Ingrid Michaelson, Greg Laswell).  

Lenka is taking preorders for The Bright Side now through her website. Exclusive merch bundles come with goodies like a 20-page art zine with exclusive photos, artwork and stories; a laser-cut key ring designed by Lenka; posters; T-shirts; tote bags and more.

Entertainment Weekly once compared Lenka’s “hook-heavy ditties” to Colbie Caillat and Sara Bareilles, but noted that she “also possesses a gratifyingly dry Down Under wit.” See for yourself by checking out the video for the track “Blue Skies” below.
