2023 sees Léa Sen release You Of Now, Pt. 2, an EP that runs through themes as heavy as they are relatable: quarrel with the self, contradictions, feelings of desire and more.
Showcasing her extensive sonic palette as a guitarist, singer-songwriter, producer and mixer, You Of Now, Pt. 2 explores experiences that are deeply real: the unsavoury parts of life and of her own mind. But through these reflections, Sen communicates the peace that comes with knowing that it's ok to not be perfect. “On this EP, I was just a bit more honest with myself about who I am, and how flawed I am. But no matter how flawed I am, I still care for myself,” she says.
Signing to Partisan Records in 2022, Sen has seen a stellar rise suggestive of a talent farbeyond her years. Her introspection and vocal talent has seen her find critical acclaim with the likes of The FADER, The Guardian, Crack Magazine, Dummy, Notion, The Independent andmore. The artist has receivedradio support on BBC 6Music, Radio 1, 1Xtra and Apple Music 1,and a nomination as an AIM Award One To Watch in association with BBC Introducing.
Above all else,You Of Now, Pt. 2 is a record that asks us to reject polishing and embrace the freedom that comes with vulnerability, in the way Sen has herself. “I want people to feel like they're not crazy,” she says. “We're all going through it, and it doesn't mean that you're not worthy or you're inadequate. And also maybe a reminder to myself.”
