About

In July 2022, Lenni Revel released her first single "Where There Ain't No Sun," a beautifully haunting country-rock song written by her husband Robert Revel. From relative obscurity, with no online presence, she emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Within 6 months, and after 3 more songs were released, her music videos had garnered 1 million cumulative views on YouTube and a growing base of listeners from around the world began tuning in. Lenni's aesthetic encompasses outlaw country and anthemic pop-rock. Independent Artist Buzz describes her: "Lenni's voice is unmatched. She doesn't just give you goosebumps when you hear her, but you can absolutely feel every lyric and every note she sings. She is able to transcend the separation of listener and streaming and creates a sense of intimacy within, not just her voice, but with her songwriting."

Let's rewind.

A few years before Lenni met Robert, she had a short-lived pop music career - with LA A&R execs working to develop her; a digital billboard in Times Square promoting her single and an indie publishing deal for her pop song "I Like It." But for Lenni, something inside was beginning to move in contradiction to her conjured life. "Nothing felt clean or true," Lenni says. In 2015, she made the decision to walk away from it all, with the last of Lenni's pop persona finally evaporating while kicking an Adderall addiction cold turkey. She found herself alone, grinding out the harsh hour-by-hour withdrawals in a backyard shed she was living in at the time. Without help or guidance, the 24-year old's radically reclusive and stark renunciation of all things addictive and comforting quickly plunged her into mental and emotional turmoil. Out of desperation, she admitted herself to a psych ward and was put on mandatory suicide watch. The story of her journey from darkness to wholeness became the basis of her debut album, Unbroken.

A week after her 25th birthday, sober and stabilized, Lenni felt moved to ease back into the world. On an odd whim, she responded to a Craigslist ad for a day labor job to help someone pack up their garage in preparation to move. That someone was Robert Revel. Twenty-five years older than Lenni, Robert was no stranger to existential struggle. He quickly became a pillar of clarity for her, as she began to heal. "Before any notions of romantic love ever occurred between us, I knew I was going to marry him." And marry him she did! In 2017, the couple tied the knot.

Robert Revel, an entrepreneur, and published author who wrote and co-wrote much of Lenni's debut album is a self-taught songwriter and guitarist. As it turned out, he had amassed a catalog of original songs spanning over 25 years. During the covid lockdown Lenni began to explore Robert's music. Soon, the couple began playing together, with Robert on guitar and Lenni singing his songs. Eventually, they invited Lenni's parents, former touring rock musicians in the 80's, to act as their rhythm section - her mom on bass and her dad on drums. Together, they recorded 32 demo songs.

In June of 2021, Lenni and Robert took a huge leap of faith. They recorded eight of those songs at the renowned Northern California recording studio Prairie Sun with New York-based producer and mixer Jason Lowrie, along with some ace session players from Los Angeles. The result is Unbroken, a redemptive album designed to be experienced as a complete vision.

"This album is about the necessary human journey from thought to feeling, from the head to the heart," shares Dark Americana Pop artist Lenni Revel. The Unbroken album, experienced from top to bottom, offers a powerful invitation to fully feel the textures of life and endure. Lenni concludes: "The heart of this music unfolds from a love story," she says. "And love is what gave me the capacity to endure."
