Sleeping Lion is Lennon Stella’s second record, but it feels like an introduction. The title’s image of dormant strength aptly summarizes the journey that the twenty-seven-year-old indie folk singer-songwriter has been on for six years.

“This record is a return to myself in many ways” Stella says.

The album captures an awakening as Stella embraces her own agency and explores her own insecurities with empathy and curiosity.

Sleeping Lion is out October Twenty Third.
