Leni Ward is riding a wave of critical acclaim after unleashing her intensely personal second album on the world.

The young singer-songwriter has earned comparisons to Bjork, Imogen Heap and Bats for Lashes with her unusual style and complex arrangements.

'Body' draws on a troubled childhood in which Leni was put on experimental drugs to try to combat a long-term illness.

In this interview with ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Derby's Dean Jackson she reflects on her past, present and future.
