Australian singer Lenka is famous for her cute singing and cheerful songs. Her debut album’s single, "The Show," was a big hit, and she gained even more fans when her song "Everything at Once" was used in a TV commercial.
Lenka hit Bangkok on August 25 at Emquartier to promote her latest album, The Bright Side. At the acoustic performance she was joined by Tee from the duo Fellow Fellow and 9-year-old Gail Sophicha from Thailand’s Got Talent Season 2.
THAILAND FAN
The 37-year-old singer appeared onstage wearing a colourful floral dress. During the interview Lenka was asked her feelings about being in Thailand and replied, "I feel very relaxed because I got to go shopping and swimming after I arrived." She told fans that this was her sixth visit to Thailand. When asked about her favourite Thai food, she said that she liked green curry and could order it in Thai.
HIT SONGS
Lenka explained that her song "Unique" was about people who are different to everybody else, but it’s the differences that make us special. She followed the song with the album opener, "The Long Way Home," and continued with the hit "Trouble Is a Friend."
Everybody recognised the intro of “Blue Skies” and screamed with excitement. Lenka played tambourine during the song while Tee played guitar and sang along with her.

For the final song, Lenka was joined onstage by Gail Sophicha. The talented young TV star played ukulele on Lenka’s famous song, "The Show." The fans found it adorable. The show ended with Lenka telling the crowd, “Thank you, I love you," to resounding applause.
