“[‘Colors of Leaving’ is] an atmospheric, synth-heavy slow burn built on stuttering FKA twigs-esque drums and Fayre’s ethereal vocals.” - SPIN



“’Do You Like That?’ swirls with a dark, twitchy kind sensuality that belies her years. Liquid beats and stirring strings to close it all out, but Fayre's unerringly confident vocals are the track's most arresting feature.” – Noisey



“It's clear that Lena's style is contingent on her wearing many different musical hats. But it's those transformative qualities that speak volumes and make her a force to be reckoned with.” – Teen Vogue



“’Everybody’s In’ is a wonderful introduction. The songwriting is on point, the production is a compelling mix of electronic and organic, but it’s her voice that really shines here.” – Pigeons & Planes



“[Lena Fayre is] making waves with her special brand of pop music that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a colorful yet surrealist alternate universe – especially when you couple it with her music videos injecting the melodies with a whole new dimension.” – Ladygunn

“Colors of Leaving”, the second song off indie ingénue Lena Fayre’s new EP Is There Only One?, premiered today on SPIN – PRESS HERE<http://www.spin.com/2015/06/lena-fayre-colors-of-leaving-stream-new/> to listen.  The ballad looks back on a love gone wrong with deeply personal lyrics and powerful vocals. "Lyrically, 'Colors of Leaving' lives in a place between both narrative and poetic,” said Fayre. “Sonically, the song pushes and pulls in intensity.” Fayre will self-release Is There Only One? on July 24.

Is There Only One? is a bold piece of work.  Fayre co-wrote the 5-track collection with producer/mixer/songwriter Noah Georgeson (Joanna Newsom, Devendra Banhart). From the pulsating opener “Do You Like That?”, which premiered on Vice’s Noisey (PRESS HERE<http://noisey.vice.com/blog/Lena-fayre-do-you-like-that> to listen), to the haunting lyrics of “Colors of Leaving,” the EP shows all her musical sides.



At only 18 years old, the Los Angeles native has amassed millions of YouTube views and Spotify streams, won multiple songwriting awards, self-released her first EP and full length album, and was named an ‘Artist You Need to Know’ by Rolling Stone in 2014. No small feat for an artist doing things on entirely on her own. PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAWqa0Tc_oU> to watch the music video for “Everybody’s In,” which premiered on Pigeons & Planes earlier this year and has over 500K views. Her recently released single “This World” was also featured on the wildly popular CW show The Vampire Diaries in April – PRESS HERE<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW7Le7GjRsA> to watch the music video for the track.  Lena has been featured in Teen Vogue, Ladygunn, Interview Magazine, Galore, POPULAR and recently recorded a Daytrotter session at SXSW – PRESS HERE<http://www.daytrotter.com/#!/concert/lena-fayre/21021993-37388887> to listen!


“I wish I could say that she is the other woman, but in fact I am. What you see on the cover is a real Instagram photo of the real girl taken by the real boy who inspired this collection of music. She isn't me; I will never be her. Obsession, possession, denial, heartbreak landed me in a position to write and express my way through a difficult situation. He chose her. The songs of Is There Only One? reflect my state of mind as I processed, questioned, and eventually found peace with such a visceral experience with rejection. This led me to think about the structure of relationships, attachment, and how the modern romance is diluted or enhanced by social media. Sometimes the things we do in the name of lust or love forsake reason and logic. We have the most hope despite our knowledge. I had the most hope” – LENA FAYRE
