London-based French singer, songwriter, and producer LÉA SEN has announced details of her debut album, LEVELS, arriving on May 30th via Partisan. The first opus from one of the London scene’s brightest and most exciting stars promises a blend of experimental pop with slinky R&B, woozy trip-hop, and warm, smudged guitars — all refracted through a deeply immersive journey of memory, self-discovery, and emotional growth. Imagined as a surreal, liminal hotel where each room holds a different chapter of her life, the record plays with the tension between reality and dreamlike abstraction.
Alongside the announcement, Léa shares the second single and centerpiece of the album, “lvl 6 – VIDEO GAMES,” which follows last month’s experimental pop gem “lvl 1 – HOME ALONE.” Her most defining artistic statement to date, the song’s sweet, buoyant flow reminisces on childhood gaming with her brothers, interrogating ghosts of memories and the blurred line between escapist fantasy and reality.
Speaking about the track, Léa shares:
“‘Video Games’ is a window into how my past continues to shape me—whether I welcome it or not. It’s a dance between memory and habit, between the world I saw as a child and the one I see now. Some things fade, some things linger, and some you simply learn to live with. The song explores both comfort and fear—how the past can weigh on you, but also how joy can always be found within it.”
