We're thrilled to present Lenii as our next act on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' Y&E Series – going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm tonight!

The 23-year-old singer-songwriter and producer has rapidly established herself as one the country's most thrilling pop sensations – clocking up Spotify streams in their millions, and finding viral success on TikTok. Earlier this year, Lenii released her debut EP, In All Fairness... –which became the No.1 album on the iTunes Ireland chart. Following the success of her EP, the Cork artist returned last month with 'The Kids Are All Rebels' – which touches on climate breakdown, Covid-19, police brutality, racism, misogyny and the Trump administration.

Revisit her recent interview with Hot Press here.

The Y&E Series continues to shine a light on some of the best new and emerging talent that Ireland has to offer in 2020 – with a brilliant selection acts joining Hot Press on Instagram every night for special live-streamed performances.

Watch Lenii tonight, November 24, as part of the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' The Y&E Series, supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media – live on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm.
