Piano Day by Alev Lenz

Piano version of my song Yamaha from my upcoming second album called Two-Headed Girl out June 17th, 2016 !! 

Piamaha (for Piano Day)

If Love

Yamaha

Song No. 1

Alev Lenz is back with a fresh single titled Eggshell, off her forthcoming album Two-Headed Girl.

The song is about the bottled-up anger and fear we have instilled in us from our parents. As we toughen up as a child, however, that also means staying cast in a child’s mind-set. Once an adult, it’s a journey breaking free from that, letting go of known anger to explore the adult, grown self, which only lives in the unknown i.e. without a shell. 

With a strong, captivating rhythm and even stronger message, the song promises to set a powerful tone for the full album release.

Produced by Samuli Kosminen and Alev Lenz

‘Song No. 1’/ ‘Memphis’

Alev Lenz is due to release her first UK single on 18th March. Since the release of her debut album in her home country of Germany the singer/ songwriter/ producer has busied herself with gigs in London and New York alongside working on soundtracks for several high profile German films and recording what will become her second album in London’s Premises Studios.

Song No. 1 and Memphis are the first tracks taken from Alevʼs second album and take in a diverse set of influences, from European classical through to experimental electronics.
Alev’s main collaborator for the album was acclaimed Finnish drummer Samuli Kosminen (Múm, Hauschka, Kronos Quartet, Jónsi). A mutual friend suggested they work together, which began weeks and months of emailing sessions from London to Helsinki and back. Song No. 1 and Memphis are the first songs from that collaboration. The two songs were then mixed by Jas Shaw of Simian Mobile Disco.

Since arriving in London Alev’s played shows at The Vortex, the hub of the capital’s avant jazz and electronic scenes, had an exhibition of her own artwork and hosted a show on the independent NTS Radio.

Alev is frequently working in close collaboration with other artists, most famously with Martin Phipps who called her in to write the original song for "Black Mirror" and renowned sitarist and 7-time Grammy-Nominee Anoushka Shankar, with whom Alev co-wrote the title track for the Grammy-nominated album 'Land of Gold' as well as co-writing and co-producing Shankar's latest album 'Love Letters' - which culminated in three sold out shows with Shankar at London's Southbank Centre in December 2019 and a Grammy-nomination for the 63rd GRAMMY Awards in 2020.
