a girl
a piano
one she can call her own
a studio
friends
love
darkness
shadow selves
abusers
light
shining
out
NOW
she will whisper sweet everythings and always speak the truth to you
Listen carefully for the naivity of a Kai can overwhelm the senses and uncover mysteries kept in a quiet confrontation
and in the end
she is a girl and a piano
with pixies and fellow creatures of the underworlds and overworlds
"The astounding Kai Lena followed. Accompanying herself on keyboard, she somehow created a whole soundscape. Occasionally referencing early period Kate Bush, she has crashed onto the local scene as afully-fledged original talent of gigantic proportion. Pixies, angels, butterflies, rainbows and ….. bubblewrap. The amazing, powerful, thought provoking and feministic 'Red' proved to be the centrepiece of a totally absorbing set. We've come a long way since 'I Will Survive'. It would have been undoubtedly selected for BBC broadcast, had the festival field been in Somerset, not West Cheshire. Her voice can be tender, demonstrative and then assertive all within the space of a single phrase. Hers is music with a conscience, be it social, political or connected to sexual politics. An endearing false start heralded the first of two brand new songs, held over to close her set. They were well worth waiting for and demonstrated a less dramatic Kai; more fun, maybe, and in contrast to some of her heavier work. They also showed a mastery of classic pop chord structures. And to achieve her stated ambition to make the sun come out too! Like all of the Showcase Festival artists, she has a MySpace site www.myspace.com/kailenamusic– particularly interesting and excellent in her case"

Sounds Like: ..

"Kai Lena is an emerging artist from the North West of England with a growing fan base. A forest pixie in essence whirlygigging around with vocal melodies and soaring piano and experimentation. Mermerizing and enchanting her audiences wherever she goes with her melodic tales and messages, she gets under your skin and alerts you to a passion of the human race and quests for truth of this life. A powerful force to watch out for, could take Glastonbury by surprise with her iccle appearance deceptive of the voice that comes out and the unique piano freedom of tempo that takes you on a magical journey of delights."

You will not want to stop listening coz the hypnosis has taken you over with the changing times and as the shadows within begin to creep out and the curiosity gets too much for you as you breathe in the melodies of a butterfly by a waterfall where the light shimmers into the full spectrum of a rainbow...
