šŸ’„Lennikim is unapologetically himself with 'Adrenaline'šŸ’„

Today Lennikim reveals his hypnotic new single ā€˜ADRENALINEā€™.

Listen HERE

Brooding and powerful, Lennikim is done with holding back.

Adrenaline arrives as a punchy and dark dose of enticing expression, seeing him unapologetically present his true self. Embracing change and self development, nothing is off limits for Lennikim. Adrenaline celebrates shapeshifting led by authentic creativity.

Sharing more, Lennikim explained: ā€˜Iā€™ve always wanted to do stuff like this, but didnā€™t always have the possibility or courage to go there because so much was expected of me back then and I didnā€™t want to displease anyone. I was afraid to disrupt anything. Now thatā€™s all I want to do. Iā€™m always curious to see how further I can push things and experiment. I guess the message I want listeners to take away from this is do whatever you want and give no fucks. The second you start listening to yourself, you win.ā€™

Earlier this year, Lennikim unveiled ā€˜See Me Nowā€™, an infectious and euphoric demonstration of his talent for creating stand out anthems. The release coincided with his performance at Montreal Pride Festival, honoring his true identity and marking a new chapter in his career.

Despite being just 22-years old, Lennikim already has a wealth of experience and achievement behind him. Initially starting out in acting age 8 and then singing age 13, his childhood quickly became a whirlwind of opportunities, earning him everything from a major record deal with Warner France to participating in ā€œDancing with the Starsā€ in France, and touring across Europe.

More recently, upon leaving Warner, Lennikimā€™s journey into songwriting and independent artistry has become a fruitful and significant development. It has given him space to explore and evolve his sound and most importantly of all; express his queer identity publicly, after he was forced to hide it for a long time within the industry.

ā€˜Adrenalineā€™ is the latest single to come from Lennikims upcoming EP due for release early next year. It will be his first independently released project and his first EP to be written and sung in English. The release will take shape as a collection of work completely free from the heavy expectations that accompany child stardom. Expect gritty, edgy bops, met with raw moments of vulnerability, culminating in a dynamic body of work that is proudly and entirely his own.

Over the years, Lennikim has built a devoted following and fanbase, which continues to grow in real-time. With millions of views on Youtube and close to 100 million streams across DSPā€™s, itā€™s wild to think heā€™s just getting started! Not to mention, he was awarded Video of the Year at the 2023 Canadian Sym Awards for "Things I Want" - also taken from his upcoming EP.

With so much still to come this year, keep all eyes on Lennikim.
