Echo, a project from producers/multi instrumentalists JOY ASKEW & TAKUYA NAKAMURA, a seductive fusion of tradicional vocal jazz and downtempo electronic grooves.
On their eponymous debut, the New York duo puts a mesmerizing stamp on carefully-chosen jazz standards, as well as captivating originals. Echo was born from NYC's live drum & bass scene. Askew initially discovered Nakamura playing trumpet and keyboards at the SoHo nightclub Shine's popular party "Prohibited Beatz". The rotating live line-up of DJs, MCs, and diverse musicians inspired Askew instantly, because it reminded her of one of her biggest influences: Miles Davis' late-'60s electric period (In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew).
"At Shine I was seeing jazz re-emerging in a fresh way, because there's so much more technology to play with, and so many different directions you can go in, with drum and bass rhythms, and all the possibilities offered by electronics."
Askew and Nakamura began to collaborate. One afternoon at Askew's apartment, Nakamura played her a new track he'd been working on. "It was this great, bubbly rhythm," she recalls, and it inspired her to start singing the Cole Porter standard "I've Got You Under My Skin." The two seemingly disparate components fit hand-in-glove, and "within 20 minutes, we'd almost recorded the whole thing." By marrying the relaxed rhythmic undercurrents and cutting-edge production techniques with more-traditional songwriting, the pair had hit upon a unique direction for Echo.
One of the album's most affecting (and revealing) tracks is the moody, sensually rhythmic "Secret Self," inspired by Askew's long-standing love of Beat Generation authors like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac. In fact, the specific impetus, according to the singer, was listening to the excerpt "Jazz of the Beat Generation" from the CD "Jack Kerouac Reads On The Road".
Besides his current work with live drum and bass act Nerve and neo-soul outfit Organic Grooves, Takuya Nakamura has played with such jazz notables as flugelhorn great Clark Terry, drummer/arranger Bob Moses, and saxophonist Ravi Coltrane.

--------------------------------------------
ECHO was born in France during the year of 1971 and in the 1990's he played with several pop bands as both a bassist and a guitarist, however he always felt slightly frustrated that somehow he could not quite express himself fully. So three years ago he shut himself in a room and began the journey in nurturing his craft, where he developed into the outstanding musical producer that we see today.
Myspace gave ECHO the opportunity to gain exposure and within four months, he had obtained world wide air play and interest from record companies in the U.S, Germany and of course his native France.
Can also be found on last.fm as Echo (Fr) & Echo Armando, although officially it's just 'Echo'.
Don't Break The Heart
Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love will always break your heart
We're only human and we're hurting
And we're trying baby
I didn't mean to break your heart
The sky is on fire
And I'm kissing you goodbye
I know you feel so tired
We made it out of the crash and burn
And we can do it again, babe
Forever
Touch my skin and move my body, call me crazy baby
I knew I loved you from the start
But love it scares me and my traumas taking over lately
I'm sorry that I broke your heart
The sky is on fire
And I'm kissing you goodbye
I know you feel so tired
So come home to me tonight
We made it out of the crash and burn
And we can do it again, babe
Forever
The lyrics of Echo's song "Don't Break The Heart" convey the emotional complexity of love and the vulnerability that comes with it. The first paragraph sets the tone by acknowledging that even in moments of bliss ("Even when it feels like heaven and we're floating baby"), love can still bring heartbreak. It recognizes our human nature, the pain we experience, and our efforts to navigate through those feelings ("We're only human and we're hurting, And we're trying baby"). The singer expresses remorse for unintentionally causing pain ("I didn't mean to break your heart").
In the second paragraph, the lyrics evoke a sense of urgency and the bittersweetness of farewell. The metaphor of the sky on fire suggests a volatile and unpredictable situation, while "kissing you goodbye" indicates the end of a chapter. The singer acknowledges the exhaustion felt by both parties ("I know you feel so tired") and extends an invitation for comfort and solace ("So come home to me tonight"). It implies that even after a turbulent journey, there is still hope for rekindling their connection ("We made it out of the crash and burn, And we can do it again, babe, Forever").
The third paragraph delves into the singer's personal struggles and fear of love. Despite experiencing a deep and instantaneous love ("Touch my skin and move my body, call me crazy baby, I knew I loved you from the start"), the singer's past traumas have become overwhelming ("But love it scares me and my traumas taking over lately"). The admission of breaking the other person's heart conveys guilt and a recognition of the consequences of their own insecurities ("I'm sorry that I broke your heart").
In the final paragraph, the lyrics return to the idea of resilience and the potential for a new beginning. The sky, once again described as being on fire, hints at the continuing challenges they may face. However, the emphasis is on the strength and commitment to overcome obstacles ("We made it out of the crash and burn, And we can do it again, babe, Forever"). The word "forever" encapsulates the singer's hope for a lasting and fulfilling love, suggesting that despite the hardships, they believe in the power of their connection to persevere.
