Léa Sen ‘You Of Now, Pt. 2’ 12"
Léa Sen ‘You Of Now, Pt. 2’ 12"
On her forthcoming EP, ‘You Of Now, Pt. 2, Léa Sen runs through themes as heavy as they are relatable: quarrel with the self, contradictions, feelings of desire, and more. This new batch of deeply complex and resilient tracks showcase Sen’s extensive sonic palette as a guitarist, singer songwriter, producer and mixer.
Often with little more than a few chords gently placed with atmospheric restraint amongst pulsing synths, Sen communicates the peace that comes with knowing that it’s OK to not be perfect. Highlights like ‘Dragonfly ʚĭɞ’ and ‘Luv Him (about u)’ explore experiences that are deeply real, confronting head-on the unsavoury parts of life and of her own mind. “On this EP, I was just a bit more honest with myself about who I am, and how flawed I am. But no matter how flawed I am, I still care for myself.” she says.
‘You Of Now, Pt. 2’ follows last year’s ‘You of Now, Pt. 1’, which earned critical acclaim from FADER, The Guardian, Crack Magazine, Dummy, Notion, The Independent and more.
Sen has received radio support on BBC 6Music, Radio 1, 1Xtra and Apple Music 1, and a nomination as an AIM Award One To Watch in association with BBC Introducing.
