Hertfordshire’s rising star Lenn bears her heart in her latest single, “older sister.” This beautiful and intimate single is a song, a hug, a confession, and a soft assurance for anyone who has ever borne the unsaid burden of being the patient one.
At heart, “older sister” is a bittersweet meditation on the unacknowledged burdens of eldest siblinghood. Lenn offers an intimate portrait of love, duty, and the quiet ache of wanting to be strong for those who look up to you while sometimes feeling lost. She draws listeners into a familiar experience of caregiving and fragility, of the quiet hope that someone somewhere understands.
With soft, melancholic instrumentals that envelop her voice like an old but gently worn blanket, Lenn’s sound is haunting and soothing. Despite the quietness of her vocals, which are weighed down by emotion, there’s no lyric left unturned, and every single word sounds like it was spoken in a moment of sincerity. The production is still bare but impactful, letting each note breathe, and every word hit just where it’s supposed to in the heart.
But what makes “older sister” really resonant is the quiet message that even people you think are okay but need help, too. Whether you’ve filled those shoes as the responsible sibling, the reliable friend, or anyone who has consistently put others ahead of your interests, this song is a mirror detailing feelings you may not have articulated.
With this release, Lenn shows her capacity to create heartfelt music and establishes herself as an artist with depth, authenticity, and an uncanny skill for describing what so many feel but seldom voice out loud. “older sister” is a feeling, a shared understanding, a nod of empathy, a hand reaching out.
