Music

Enter the World of Lena Fayre

From the dreamlike textures of OKO to the intimate tension of Is There Only One?, each release reveals another side of Lena Fayre's evolving sound.

03 Full Album

OKO

An expansive introduction to Lena Fayre's dark, melodic world - where electronic and organic sounds meet emotionally charged songwriting.

In Her Own Words

"These are my stories."

Moments, elusive and stagnant,
grown through sound, visuals, echolalia.
Music, the mirror - words of wound and remedy.

This is refraction.
Likenesses, images, distortion.
Generation Now, Generation New.

A child thumbing a flower as it pricks a hole.
Friction as past and future coalesce.
Lena Fayre

About Lena

Independent. Cinematic. Unmistakably Her Own.

Los Angeles native Lena Fayre began performing in her early teens and quickly developed a sound that moves between dark pop, atmospheric electronics, R&B, and intimate singer-songwriter storytelling.

She self-released her debut EP, Lena Fayre, followed by her first full-length album, OKO, the single This World, and the EP Is There Only One?.

Her work has received recognition from Rolling Stone, Nylon, SPIN, Teen Vogue, Interview, Noisey, LA Weekly, and other publications. Her music has accumulated more than 10 million Spotify streams and more than 7 million YouTube views, and has been featured on The CW's The Vampire Diaries.

At the center of it all is a voice built for emotional extremes - fragile and commanding, intimate and expansive.
