This week’s Artist of The Week comes all the way from the Netherlands and we must admit, we’re impressed. Dutch newcomer Lena Hessels recently released her new single “my baby’s belly”; a woozy indie-electro delight that feels both innovative and evocative.
Channelling the likes of Sylvan Esso and Julia Holter, “my baby’s belly” combines intricate electronics with intimate vocals and a captivating musicality creating a sound that is undeniably stunning. This is Lena’s first “intentional love song,” which perhaps suggests her previous releases have been unintentional? Who knows, but we’re invested.
“my baby’s belly” is the first single to be taken from Lena’s upcoming sophomore EP, which will be out later this year so keep your ears peeled!
