Originally from South Africa, Lenkie is a budding soul artist based in New York City. Her latest song ‘Waterfall’ is an ear-worm ditty, delivered with a poignancy and wistfulness that belies her 17 years of age.

‘The inspiration for “Waterfall” was unrequited love. Born out of a massive crush that could never work out, I instead took to daydreaming about the possibility of it all. “Waterfall” is a song outlining and detailing the parallel universe where we are together and intertwined, where there’s nothing beyond the feel of our bodies existing on the same plane. I think about “Waterfall” as the aftermath of [previous release] Flower Girls . We’ve left our void of a town and all the darkness with it, and now there’s nothing left to do except enjoy the limitless company of each other.’

‘I know it’s not love more infatuation,’ Lenkie sings, ‘…I don’t know much about happiness but this is the closest I have been.’ The tune is achingly melodic and we’ll be keeping our ears peeled for future releases.
