This amazing track “LIPSTICK” by Nashville-born, Los Angeles-based artist Penny Lame is one of the best tracks we’ve heard in weeks! The atmosphere of this track is unique and the production is solid, smart and sounds very professional. Penny’s voice is a piece of art and her lyrics are original and well written. This amazing track shows off all the melodic tones of Penny’s stunning voice and shows how talented she is when it comes to writing songs. The melodies are very catchy and mesh with the lyrics perfectly, and the chorus is so beautiful. We enjoyed listening to this track until the last second! it is a great experience from start to finish and left us super excited to see where Penny Lame’s career will go over the coming months.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
PENNY LAME is the next wave of alt-punk-rock music. Based in Los Angeles by way of Nashville, Penny brings back the 1970’s and all the glam that comes with it, transporting you back to the age of the Velvet Underground in New York City. Capturing the essence of Studio 54 and the beautiful crossover of punk music and disco, her sound and look are something you would have seen at CBGB alongside Debbie Harry.
Growing up in Nashville, TN, Gracen Hill wasn’t allowed to be Penny Lame. She was someone else. Not knowing where she fit in, the boys would make her cry and she expressed herself by filling up her school notebooks with lyrics and scribbling songs all over her hands. She remembers singing “Phenomena” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and wanting to be Karen O more than anything. This aesthetic did not fit in with the Nashville scene 15 years ago.
When Gracen turned 20, she got a publishing deal, dropped out of college, and got signed with a label. Cool story, but in classic female in the music industry fashion she ended up getting taken for a ride and steered away from the music she loved. They had her writing cookie cutter pop and she never saw a dime for any of it. A few years later, Gracen parted ways with the music industry after handing over her identity, her name, and her music.
There was an imposter syndrome that kicked in full force as a longing for childhood sent her spiraling back to the days of writing lyrics up and down her arms. She was reborn as Penny Lame – a fully independent artist in control of her own destiny and ready to melt your face off.
