I must warn you: searching on Google for ‘Lena strip’ may not result in the information you’re looking for. Not if you’re interested in the German singer’s latest single, anyway. So let me save you from a NSFW experience. I’ve been there for you…

You may remember Lena Meyer-Landrut. She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 with her single Satellite. A far cry from the result of Germany’s candidate this year. The track became a pan-European Top 5 hit. For Lena, her victory – and the following hit – was the start of a very successful career. Especially in her home country and the surrounding German-speaking countries.

Hopefully her new single Strip will bring her back to the international charts. For starters, this happy, fresh and carefree tune reminds us a bit of Satellite. You can also hear the vibes of the early works of artists like Lily Allen or Kate Nash shine through. May I have your votes please?
