LEA

In the artist's words:

Anyone who talks to LEA about her music quickly realizes that her creativity stems from a kind of natural serenity. She likes it when things just happen, doesn’t like to be judged, and isn’t afraid of imperfect records. On the contrary: For LEA, they’re fascinating documents of her time.  

In 2016, she released her first, very melancholic album, “Vakuum.” Her single “Leiser” became a radio anthem and earned her her first gold record. Thanks to this newfound lightness and the expansion of the LEA universe, she has found her very own soundscape with “Zwischen meinen Zeilen.” She remains true to this soundscape on her third album, “Treppenhaus.”  

For LEA, that’s no reason to sit back and relax. “I love putting out music,” she says, referring to the fact that her album *FLUSS* is her fourth record in five years. “When I write songs, I want to share them as quickly as possible—I don’t like waiting for the right moment, which never comes. I’m always in favor of not letting an album sit on the shelf, even if not everything is 100% perfect. For me, it’s a snapshot, a record of my own development. I’m very good at letting songs go if the essence is right—and music is constantly changing anyway, always in flux.”
