***Intraspectral*** is the sixth studio album by the Australian singer-songwriter [Lenka](/source/Lenka). It was released on 17 November 2023, by Skipalong Records.

## Background and theme

Following a brief hiatus after her previous work, *[Attune](/source/Attune)* (2017), Lenka collaborated with producer Dave Jenkins Jr to create her sixth studio album *Intraspectral*. She coined the title from "intra" (within) and "spectral" (spectrum), describing it as "the rainbow within" to reflect the emotional diversity within oneself.[1] Drawing from her acting background, Lenka embraced varied musical styles and character-driven performances. Balancing [upbeat](/source/Uptempo) tracks like "Champion" with darker moments, the album aims to bring comfort and positivity while acknowledging life's challenges.[2] *Intraspectral* was released on 17 November 2023, supported by a three-city tour in Australia.[3]

*Intraspectral* is a collaborative project between Lenka and producer Dave Jenkins Jr, recorded in Eora and Sydney throughout 2022 and 2023. The album explores a wide range of upbeat, genre-blending styles, drawing influence from 1980s, late 1990s, and early 2000s indie pop. Described by Lenka as an "emergence album", it reflects themes of stepping back into the world with renewed joy and introspection. She expressed pride in the album's diverse, vintage-inspired sound, calling it a deeply personal and creatively fulfilling work.[4]

## Singles

Lenka released the pre-release single "One Moment" on 15 April 2023, accompanied by a behind-the-scenes video.[5] It was followed by the album's [lead single](/source/Lead_single), "Silhouette", released on 25 August 2023 along with its music video.[6] A month later, she released the second and final single from the album, "Champion", featuring [Josh Pyke](/source/Josh_Pyke).[7]

## Critical reception

*MXDWN* stated in its review, "the emotional depth of this album is a journey for listeners to understand their magnitude of emotions and feelings", "What portrays this the most is the instrumental use of synthesizers, releasing her creativity, and the sweet sounds of her voice".[1]
