Lene Lovich (/leɪnə lʌvɪtʃ/, born March 30, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter and musician of Serbian and English descent based in
England. She first gained attention in 1979 with the release of her hit single "Lucky Number", which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles
Chart and made her a leading figure of the new wave music scene.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Lovich moved to England at the age of 13, where she met guitarist and songwriter Les Chappell, who later became
her long-time music collaborator and life partner. She developed an interest in art and theater, enrolling at the Central School of Art and
Design where she took saxophone lessons. In 1975, she joined the band the Diversions and shortly afterwards wrote the lyrics to Cerrone's
single "Supernature". After the band broke up, Lovich started looking for another band that would let her join and contacted the radio
presenter Charlie Gillett, who got her to record a demo of Tommy James and the Shondells' song "I Think We're Alone Now" and played it to
Dave Robinson of Stiff Records, who decided to sign Lovich. The song was released as a single and appeared on her debut studio album
Stateless (1978), which produced the single "Lucky Number".
She released two more albums, Flex (1979) and No Man's Land (1982), on Stiff Records. In 1989, she independently released the
album March, before her 15-year hiatus. She focused more on her family but came back in 2005 with the release of Shadows and
Dust, her most recent album.
In 2013, she established her own publishing label, Flex Music, and released a re-mastered version of all her previous albums in a limited
edition box set.
