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'.

Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Out at 4am at Lake Balboa with nobody here
I just keep on going, keep on going, but nothing's ever clear
This going to be the last time you gonna see me
Cause I'm done putting this pain on repeat
I'm done putting my workaholic tendencies to the max
I'm done faking emotions to people close to me, man relax
Got used to people hating me so I expect it on the usual
People I love, love me back so I do shit to lose it all
I don't feel like I deserve the things I do
I know I'm a piece of shit I'm not like you
I spend more time anticipating death than outside enjoying life
Thought I was done with suicidal thoughts but I'm ready for afterlife
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
This ego got me into problems I can't control
I keep wanting to burn the book before the story is told
Getting older, heart is colder, self imposed hypothermia
Feeling like the shit where I can diss and feel euphoria
I don't tell people I make music when I go meet them
Cause my last album I opened my wounds for you to see them
And knowing they gonna have that info to have for themselves
I'd rather never blow up so they don't know that what I really felt
A million dollar ego that started feeling the withdrawal
Went bankrupt, got handcuffed, no banquet
Just a circus full of acts walking on a tightrope
Now I'm the one who fell offline not wanting high hopes
One sided love will be the cause of my demise
No end to work will be the cause of my demise
Hiding how I feel will be the cause of my demise
So let this song be the last time before I take my life cause
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies nothing will change, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I'm still alive, yeah
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies and I still hate it
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
Time flies when you wanna die, yeah
The lyrics of Echo's song "Fly" delve into themes of inner turmoil, self-doubt, and a constant struggle with one's own existence. The repetition of "Time flies nothing will change, yeah" reflects a sense of hopelessness and resignation to the passage of time without any tangible progress or improvement in the artist's life. The repeated acknowledgment of still being alive juxtaposed with a desire to die portrays a conflicted mindset, where the artist continues to endure the pain of existence while longing for an escape.
The mention of being at Lake Balboa at 4 am with nobody around creates a desolate and isolating image, emphasizing the artist's feelings of loneliness and confusion. There is a sense of finality in the declaration that this may be the last time others will see the artist, hinting at a desire to retreat from the world and cease the cycle of suffering. The artist expresses a readiness to shed the facade of workaholic tendencies and fake emotions, highlighting a deep sense of disillusionment with societal expectations and personal relationships.
The lyrics delve into the artist's struggles with self-worth, feeling undeserving of good things and grappling with a negative self-image. The constant anticipation of death and recurring suicidal thoughts underscore a profound inner turmoil and mental anguish. The artist's admission of feeling like a piece of shit further reflects a deep-seated self-loathing and a belief in their own unworthiness.
The song delves into the consequences of ego, one-sided love, and the pressure to maintain a facade of strength while dealing with internal struggles. The fear of vulnerability and being judged for expressing true emotions leads to a sense of alienation and a desire to shield oneself from further pain. The repeated refrain of "Time flies when you wanna die, yeah" encapsulates the paradox of wanting to escape the relentless passage of time while also grappling with the fear of taking definitive action. Overall, the lyrics of "Fly" by Echo offer a raw and introspective exploration of the complexities of mental health, existential dread, and the search for meaning amidst inner chaos.

Feeling like the shit where I can diss and feel euphoria
Feeling powerful when criticizing others
I don't tell people I make music when I go meet them
I avoid mentioning my music when meeting others
Cause my last album I opened my wounds for you to see them
In my previous album, I exposed my vulnerabilities
And knowing they gonna have that info to have for themselves
Aware that others will possess that personal information
I'd rather never blow up so they don't know that what I really felt
I prefer to avoid fame to keep my true feelings hidden
A million dollar ego that started feeling the withdrawal
An inflated ego experiencing a decline
Went bankrupt, got handcuffed, no banquet
Facing financial ruin and legal trouble, no celebration
Just a circus full of acts walking on a tightrope
Life feels like a precarious circus performance
Now I'm the one who fell offline not wanting high hopes
I have fallen out of touch, avoiding optimism
One sided love will be the cause of my demise
Unrequited love will lead to my downfall
No end to work will be the cause of my demise
Continual work will contribute to my downfall
Hiding how I feel will be the cause of my demise
Concealing my emotions will lead to my downfall
So let this song be the last time before I take my life cause
This song may be the final moment before I end my life
