Lesen is a unique music genre that beautifully blends literary storytelling with melodic composition, often delivered through a narrative style that resembles spoken-word poetry. It is characterized by its introspective and emotive lyrics, exploring themes such as personal growth, human relationships, and existential musings. Artists in this genre, like Josephine Pennicott and Jojo Moyes, often draw inspiration from their backgrounds in writing, resulting in songs that feel like vivid, lyrical novels set to music. The genre typically employs a minimalist musical backdrop, allowing the depth of the lyrical content to shine through, and often incorporates elements from classical, folk, and world music to enhance its narrative essence.
