The Chinese Mainland pop band, echo, started their career as indie band in Wuhan, and released the debut album "Echo" in 2007. The theme song from 'New Shanghai (新上海滩)' - 歌未央 (ge1 wei2 yang1, The Song not Ended) hits the public and makes them first known.

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 ↴
Where I didn't have to run and hide
Behind all the music I make saying I'm fine
Man I lie way too many times
I shouldn't even try to say I'm in love with her
Cause she'll not even say bye
Cause it won't be the same
If we repeat what happened before it's all a game
I don't think it's the same
I don't gotta test fate
To feel bubbled in cause I'm number two in her brain, yeah
Wish it was easy to figure out how to move on
We get older, she's terrified, and I don't belong
I can't replace her, I've tried, in so many of my songs
I hope she never hears this ride of emotions I've been on
I said last summer I won't mess up again
But look at us now I see no end
We just try to be friends, while my demons come in
I don't think we'll meet again but let's have a discussion
I wish it was easy to keep having hope I'll survive
Wish I didn't have to make up all of these lies
That I'll see her in front of me and live together at last
It's fucking depressing being stuck in the past
Wish it was easy to know the future of all of this
Wish I didn't think I'ma die young and not have a kid
Yeah I'm losing it and outta my mind
But you don't fucking care
I'll just keep on faking it for you, maybe it's fair
Wish I could tell her how thankful I am of her
She made me actually think I was better than I was
Even if it wasn't true I could never pay her back
I don't gotta clue
I would do it
If only I knew
She helped me when my mom had surgery
When it was hurting me
She was in the ER for 3 weeks and no one was alerting me
That I could've lost her so many times with urgency
I wish I didn't have to hear her cry on the phone
To say she wants me to take her from the ER to home
So she could kill herself by her own way and terms
Meanwhile I felt the same about myself when she's hurt
I wish it was easy to hear my mom give up easily
Wish it was easy to hide all this pain in secrecy
I wish it was easy for my friends to hear my private side
Wish it was easy to tell them I wish I had died
I wish it was easy to go back to a little kid
Wish it was easy to have to know my parents won't live
Wish it was easy to get a second chance in this one life
Wish it was easy to know it won't matter if I just died

Echo reveals the weight of his past, feeling stuck and depressed, unable to let go and move forward. He grapples with the uncertainty of the future, the fear of dying young without leaving a legacy, and the pain of witnessing his loved ones suffer and contemplate self-destructive actions.

@@randymarsh1729 "High Horse" lol. I like that. Now, humor me, Let's break this down and see if this is true.
How many other genders or ethnicities are still relying on actors from the early 90s, as the main draw for their movies?
Can you name ONE native actor Under 35 who COULD carry an ACTION film like this one?
Do all ethnicities seek out Lead actors via OPEN casting calls across the USA & Canada? (no acting experience required)
The producers don't care if Native centric plot lines are well done or not.
Thats my point.
Shouldn't this change? Yes, but NOT because "inclusivity box checking is important"!
On the contrary. I DO NOT expect NON NATIVES to "DO BETTER" when representing Native People! We are a small racial demographic that American society hasn't had much interaction with, in comparison to other ethnicities.
This is just a fact, no fault of the American society.
I Do hope Native Artists Raise the Bar for ourselves. If we demanded Better of ourselves as Artists, writers and actors we can prevent these short cycles of cultural relevance.
Being Indigenous shouldn't be the entirety of a character. it isn't a flaw that must be overcome or pitied.
Indigenous Culture shouldn't be conveyed as something "magical", to get the writer out of a bind in act three.
We've allowed terrible characterization and a total lack of plot because we as a demographic are simply flattered to finally be back on screen.
If the story is constructed well the fact the character is indigenous is a small facet of the character, not the whole.
People are willing to call out the terrible characterization and legitimate flaws of Echo, BECAUSE this is MARVEL.
If it wasn't, no one would've had the guts to call it out because everyone is terrified of being labeled a racist.
It's generally what happens & why the problem persists.
@franciscorafaelmontielpale7854
Funny that whenever Marvel (and by extension Disney), whenever they do a "strong female character" always give her negative traits, not flaws that would make them relatable, I mean real negative traits like:
- denying accountability
- Being aggressive and condescending even to their love ones
- being short sighting when take Ng decisions
- being arrogant to the point of developing a b*tch attitude
- playing the victim when they are the ones starting or escalating the problem.
All of them would be seen as a traits of a villain in any other form of media, but sadly seeing how overtly Politically Corrupt, western entertainment is, no surprise they try to pass this as traits of a heroine... In reality is all just a projection of the mentality of the modern creators working on this industry, which can all be summerized with "The ends justify the means". Be it Wanda, be it the Wakanda Secret Service, be it Captain Marvel, be it Holdo, be it Rose Tico, be it Asha from Wish...
The point is nobody like to root for an incredibly unlikeable villain, and more when that said villain is suppose to be the hero when all evidence points to the opposite.
@Rembreiker_lychec9257
I refuse to believe that Wilson Fisk - a man who learned Mandarin and Japanese in secret just to know what his business associates were saying - opted to not learn ASL for someone he essentially views as a daughter.
@theinsurance2450
More believable he just learn all types of languages to cover all bases. Like Batman.
@firstlast9846
ABSOLUTELY I said this myself.. this was a man who secretly knew Mandarin and was smart enough to play the fool. He would’ve been up at 5am learning sign IF this was Netflix Daredevil. Honestly I wished he was recast and this was a new Kingpin. They can’t write at Netflix DD’s level.

@rodentpete
I seem to remember him using ASL to talk with her in hawkeye, but I guess the showrunners didn't bother doing there homework.
@brandocalrissian3294
I learned asl for a boss I had. It took me 6 months. Not hard. Fisk would have easily learned it.
@unfilthy
It's interesting that Bucky, who actually was forced to do evil (and is also an amputee) couldn't simply waive away his feelings of guilt and responsibility for what he'd done, while Echo blames all her actions on other people, and is, what, supposed to be commended for deciding to stop murdering people? Did she even decide to stop, or was she just leveled up in power for choosing to murder different people?
@None17555
To be fair, this is not a completed redemption arc. She chose home, mercy, and family instead of returning to her life of crime, but then the show ends. The part of the story where she'd wrestle with her past is still in her future. If Daredevil Reborn ever happens, maybe we'd get some of that.
@R.P.-hw2rq
@@None17555 The problem is that current year Marvel has a pretty terrible track record when it comes to female redemption arcs. Instead of acknowledging that these women have horrors in their pasts that need to be atoned for, while pointing out that different protagonists have different degrees of culpability (ie, Tony Stark vs. Bucky Barnes) the MCU just gives all of its female antiheroes a blanket pass because they were traumatized and refuses to even consider the fascinating questions of how someone who has, say, enslaved an entire town because she couldn't deal with the grief of losing her boyfriend might deal with that guilt and balance it with the trauma that led her to make that choice in the first place.
In other words, Maya will probably get a pass for what she's done and just be treated as a victim. Don't expect Marvel to do anything interesting with her character.
