....Born: 14.09.1988 (Virgo) .... Lenny Savage - 'Quaintrelle' ....With her debut album 'Quaintrelle' out in early 2010, West Country Musicianm, Lenny Savage comes of age in a blaze of musical glory. ..Promising an album infused with a “newfound force of womanhood and love of intellect”, Lenny is currently engaged in training up her freshly-recruited band members in preparation for their roles of being “rather dandy”. ..She’s also getting overly excited to see what the public make of her revamped sound and strikingly visual ‘Quaintrelle’ persona. ..While influenced by many genres from across the world, Lenny retains a sense of playful musical quirkiness that’s somehow both very British and disarmingly all her own. ..Elements of folk, swing, rock, grunge, synth-pop, dub, Latin and African music swirl in the mix along with Lenny’s original love for all things acoustical. ..But 'Quaintrelle' isn't an acoustic album, oh no. It's exactly how she wants it – wildly expressive, blindingly sincere, scintillatingly sensual and, ultimately, never less than confusingly fascinating. ..Lenny’s out there and 'Quaintrelle' is coming your way - keep Listening. ........ "With a combination of folk rock, blues and a full band, Lenny Savage has developed a sound that sets her apart from a lot of the singer/songwriters currently out and about. Featuring Wurlitzer amongst the more familar guitar, bass, drum combo gives Her an opportunity to really express her music as well as the words, and what words they are, agnst ridden when they need to be, hard and attacking as appropriate, a hard outer edge and a soft centre that just melts. It's almost timeless in some respects, you couldn't put a year onit, but it's as much now as anytime since 1965." .. FATEA Magazine ......"Upcoming singer songwriter Lenny Savage hails from Bristol in the UK with her guitar in her arms ready to take on the world, with a unique vocal ability and sound, Lenny has released her Debut album Quaintrelle, the word means a woman who emphasizes a life of passion expressed through personal style, well in this case Lenny expresses her soul through her music, each song on the album is very well written with perfection in mind and Lenny's voice really comes to the forum hitting every note with strong passion in every word. blues/folk and hints of upbeat pop feel can be heard on the album. Track four "Satellite" this is a real Memphis gospel runner with upbeat drums and a cheeky piano in the background, maybe something Jools Holland would like to play on, catchy with a savy swing this is a cracking track on the album.Track six "Green" upbeat jazz number with some brass work and snappy catchy vocal from Lenny,superb. There is a beautiful soft number on the album called "Everybodys looking for something" soft and melodic with some super vocals from Lenny,this would be the backbone track on the album for me, with pure passion felt in every note,classy stuff. Along with most of today's female artists I think Lenny would stand up right there next to them as Quaintrelle is certainly destiny for success. Review by T.Halpin 6/6" ..MusicReview Unsigned ......"Now I can recommend this - a musical tour - unique expression, and tight backing" .. Trevor Jones, Glastonbury Radio ......"When first hearing the music of Lenny Savage, one may be forgiven for drawing comparisons to classic folk icons like Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, but upon taking the time to listen further, one will realise that her music draws upon must vaster influences, including Gypsy rhythms and Jazz-tinged melodies; all thrown in to a melting pot with her own inimitable style to create her own, original sound, complete with modern pop sensibility." - ..James Bennett, Elysium.... .. .."With her strong and melancholic vocals, and deeply personal folk rock songs. Lenny is a striking presence on stage. She can captivate you with a glance and holds audiences hostage with her songs of life and love. Wise and wonderful, she’s got it all." ..Xpress Records

Lenny Savage - 'Quaintrelle'

..With her debut album 'Quaintrelle' out in early 2010, West Country Musicianm, Lenny Savage comes of age in a blaze of musical glory.

Promising an album infused with a “newfound force of womanhood and love of intellect”, Lenny is currently engaged in training up her freshly-recruited band members in preparation for their roles of being “rather dandy”.

She’s also getting overly excited to see what the public make of her revamped sound and strikingly visual ‘Quaintrelle’ persona.

While influenced by many genres from across the world, Lenny retains a sense of playful musical quirkiness that’s somehow both very British and disarmingly all her own.

Elements of folk, swing, rock, grunge, synth-pop, dub, Latin and African music swirl in the mix along with Lenny’s original love for all things acoustical.

But 'Quaintrelle' isn't an acoustic album, oh no. It's exactly how she wants it – wildly expressive, blindingly sincere, scintillatingly sensual and, ultimately, never less than confusingly fascinating.

Lenny’s out there and 'Quaintrelle' is coming your way - keep Listening.

The Venue Review

Lenny Savage

‘Pear-Shaped Girl’/ ‘Green’ (Single, Xpress)

Surprises are lovely, aren’t they? Take this locally produced double A-side from 18-year-old chanteuse Savage and her backing band The Doohickies. You might as well expect, from the title, an oestrogen-laden barefoot piano ballad, perhaps Tori Amos’s ‘Cornflake Girl’ only with lyrics bemoaning the insensitivity of patriarchal society towards the female body.

But, pop out the Pimms! What you get instead is a slice of sassy, skirt-flipping swing-folk- all heavy bass, “shoop-da-doop”s and flirty vocals – that’s more like Michelle Shocked crossed with the ‘Belleville Rendezvous’ soundtrack and contains not an atom of self-pity (though to be fair, she’s more of an asparagus spear than a pear, judging from the video). It’s followed up by a scat-dappled, sax and banjo-fuelled jitterbug ‘Green’ creating, in effect, a Twix-like twin pack of yumminess.

Go Lenny! You could be Nailsea’s Lily Allen!

Audio-Democracy.com Review

Lenny Savage really is sickening. She’s a singer-songwriter who was born in 1988 for crying out loud, and is far too good to be that young (I’m 25, give me a break). Her voice is truly sublime and puts her right up there with the Joss Stones of this world in terms of sheer ability whilst simultaneously broadcasting her own identity to the listener. The vocals give her an air of individuality without becoming distracting and although she seems to have adopted an American twang in part there’s still enough of her own… I’d hesitate to call it an accent, so I’ll call it ‘the way she pronounces words’ (go Audio Democracy! We don’t need no stinking thesauruses!). On a side note I’d be intrigued to hear what her normal speaking voice actually sounds like - from the singing I’d suspect a fairly plummy southern England accent, but I could well be wrong.

As far as the song goes, Lenny has brought her 6/8 to the dance; ‘Soles Of Your Shoes’ is a lilting, swaying folky affair exploring her own foibles as well as those of the people around her, with the Doohickies (her backing band) adding their slick professionalism to the mix. The bassline in particular reminds me of Paul Weller, and if you were to think of something off ‘Wild Wood’ with a more talented Sheryl Crow fronting it you might not be far wrong. Even Lenny’s delivery is individual, not afraid to experiment with syncopating vocals but still throwing in some long notes that actually explore most of her impressive vocal range (but, and this is important, in a way that actually adds to the song instead of showing off. Yes Mariah Carey, I’m looking at you).

There are instances in every genre where someone comes along and does something that you have to sit up and take notice of. I’m not going to throw out references to someone like Beth Orton and pretend I’m clued-up on British folk-rock (even that will probably tell you that my vague knowledge is several years out of date), but I will say this: I don’t care what you listen to, Lenny Savage is a seriously talented singer, and deserves your respect. If she’s producing stuff like this when she’s 18, expect to see her collecting awards and Mercury Music Prizes and goodness knows what else before you can say ‘Pear-Shaped Girl’.
