Global Indie-Pop Hitmaker Lenka Releases Soulful New Album ‘Good Days’, New Single and Video “So Far So Good” Out Now

Out now, Aussie singer-songwriter Lenka returns with her highly anticipated new album, ‘Good Days’ via Skipalong Records. Recorded in Sydney with producer Tony Buchen (Troye Sivan, Courtney Barnett, Tomberlin), the 10-track LP delivers an atmospheric, ‘60s soul-infused pop sound that does its utmost to dispel the day-to-day trauma of life in the 2020s with at least attempted optimism.

Coinciding with the album release is “So Far So Good”, an uplifting new single accompanied by a visualiser. Exploring themes of oracles, superstitions and gratitude, the song reflects on how moments of hardship and uncertainty can, in hindsight, reveal a life unfolding exactly as it was meant to.

Written largely between school runs, late-night walks and quiet moments at home, ‘Good Days’ sees Lenka enter a new creative chapter shaped by motherhood, reflection and a renewed search for light in uncertain times. Lead singles “Sunshine Girl” and the final pre-release track “The Balance”, the latter crowd-sourced from her fan base, set the tone for an album that does its utmost to dispel the day-to-day weight of the 2020s with at least an attempt at optimism.

Lenka’s unique blend of emotive, finely-crafted indie pop has long resonated with audiences across Asia, where her music found a devoted following well before the age of TikTok virality. From sync placements in global hits like Moneyball and Grey’s Anatomy to widespread use across regional TV and advertising, her songs became quietly embedded in everyday pop culture across Southeast Asia. Her nostalgia-tinged sound and heartfelt songwriting have in recent years brought her back to the region for multiple headline runs – including sold-out and fan-favourite shows across Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore – reaffirming that Lenka is no stranger to Southeast Asian audiences, both old and new.

With ‘Good Days’, Lenka has somehow created her most vibrant and infectious music to date, in the face of or perhaps in defiance of the bewildering and often brutal world we are living in. Recorded largely live in the studio, with minimal edits and effects, Lenka sought to surround herself with the direct, connected energy of being present together in one space – helping give the 10-track collection an immediate, lived-in feel, offering a touch of comfort to shield us from the storms.
