Lenka releases “Sunshine Girl,” a soulful indie-pop single, and announces her upcoming album Good Days, arriving May 29 via Skipalong Records.
Lenka returns with her new single “Sunshine Girl.” The track arrives as the first preview of her upcoming album Good Days, set for release on May 29 via Skipalong Records.
Released on April 10, “Sunshine Girl” introduces a more reflective side of Lenka’s songwriting. The track was written during a quiet moment while she was walking with her children. It captures the tension between staying positive and processing difficult realities. The lyrics lean into that contrast, grounded in both honesty and optimism.
The sound draws influence from 1960s French pop. Soft melodies and warm textures shape the track’s atmosphere. The arrangement keeps things light but steady, allowing the emotion to come through without overproduction. The official music video, directed by Dave Jenkins, Jr., follows the same tone. It presents a simple and intimate visual approach that complements the song.
“Sunshine Girl” also sets the tone for Good Days. The album was recorded in Sydney with producer Tony Buchen. It focuses on live instrumentation and minimal editing. Horns, strings, and layered vocals give the project a fuller sound while keeping it grounded. The approach highlights musicianship and songwriting at the center of the record.
Lenka continues to build on her identity as an indie-pop storyteller. Her music often blends lightness with introspection. This new material reflects a shift shaped by personal experiences, including motherhood and reflection.
Her connection to Southeast Asia remains consistent. Her songs have appeared in films, television, and advertising. She has also performed in cities such as Jakarta, Bangkok, and Singapore. These shows continue to draw strong audiences.
With Good Days, Lenka presents a collection shaped by lived experience. The album reflects a renewed perspective while staying rooted in her signature sound.
