Lenn, an artist from Bristol, has released their second single called “Silicone“. This track follows the success of their previous release, “Dreams are a Nightmare”, which has garnered support from blogs, Spotify playlists, and BBC Upload’s “Big New Sound” and being selected as a BBC Introducing “Showcase Artist”.

“Listening to this song gives me a real sense of how far I’ve come as a songwriter and to finally be releasing it feels like a big milestone. ‘silicone’ speaks more generally to the idea of wanting to know how our life choices will play out and the fear that we might be getting them wrong. For me though it is about my journey with music. Chasing a dream while finding purpose beyond just a selfish pursuit of how I want to spend my time with the added dimension of my faith and what God thinks about the whole thing.”

Lenn, grew up in a small town in Hertfordshire, and she didn’t discover any other music genres until she was in her teens. Lenn draws inspiration from the music of her contemporaries such as Bon Iver, James Blake, Banks, Ben Howard, and FKA Twigs.

Lenn’s unique vocal delivery and songwriting approach have already caught the attention of established artists in the electronic music scene. She collaborated with them on their “Unfold” album and subsequently joined Icarus on their sold-out UK tour in 2022.

Following the success of their multi-Grammy-nominated album, God Shuffled His Feet, which was released 25 years ago, the Crash Test Dummies from Winnipeg embarked on an anniversary tour. The overwhelmingly positive reception of their tour led them to return to the road in 2022 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut LP, The Ghosts That Haunt Me. While on tour in recent years, the band has been told various personal stories by their fans, ranging from dark to funny, which have inspired the band to start writing music again.

Their new single, “Sacred Alphabet,” is a stunning revelation that captures a feeling of awe. The instrumentation is minimalistic, incorporating “spectral” sounds and a choir made entirely of member Ellen Reid’s voice. “Sacred Alphabet” explores the metaphor of sound and symbol, imagining a world before the existence of subject, object, verb, or tense where sound had not yet been enslaved by meaning.

The Oscars viewership was similar to last year, with around 16 million viewers tuning in, making it the second-lowest rated telecast.

The Oscars ratings have been a topic of much discussion and scrutiny over the years, as the annual ceremony is one of the most-watched televised events in the world. However, in recent years, the ratings for the show have been on a decline, leading many to question the reasons behind this trend.
