Lenka (born Lenka Kripac in 1978) is an Australian singer-songwriter, most famous for her song "The Show", which has been used in numerous advertisements, most notably for Old Navy. Her vocal stylings offer a juxtaposition of catchy pop and layered, complicated world music influences. This juxtaposing is of late current in the popular music, spreading through the internet. Similar layering exists in the music of the anti-folk New York City artist Regina Spektor, or the French/Israeli/Tunesian tri-language singer-songwriter Yael Naim, or the eclectic Italian violinist/mandolinist Alessandro Mori, whose complicated yet accessible 2006 album bears the neologism of title: Unfolk, thereby inventing a catchall word for this new genre infectious, calculated pop synthesis. Lenka's eponymous album is the latest salvo it this ongoing process.

I like her too! I have some of her songs on my mp3 player... The Show & Don't Let Me Fall are my favorites. Grey's Anatomy played her song 'Trouble' in the most recent episode that aired here.
