Lenka at the Record Bar, January 27, 2009

Lenka, an Australian-born singer whose songs have appeared on Grey’s Anatomy and the new 90210 series, dropped a sugar bomb on the Record Bar last night. “Sugar bomb” is actually a lyric in her boppy song “Skipalong,” as well as an apt description of her supersweet pop music. It’s not at all “Dangerous and Sweet” — another song title. Nope, Lenka and her love songs are just cute and safe and pleasant, even more so than Feist or Regina Spektor. Radio stations of the Hot Adult Contemporary variety should probably play the shit out of her.
