Eckoes – Human

| Eckoes - Human |
Release Date: Out now
It’s a small world, isn’t it? I
don’t know Eckoes personally but she’s from Stoke Newington where I spent 18
months of my adult life so I can just imagine her popping to the same branch of
Morrisons I used to go to or popping in to City Kebabs (the best, seriously the
best) on a Friday night. Then again, the new single from the British born
Nigerian, ‘Human’ is almost completely otherworldly. The spoken word opening
speaks philosophically before Eckoes sings her twisted soul over Rudimental
meets Clean Bandit beats and her velvety smooth voice is used as an instrument
to great effect. This has elements of Major Lazor about it and FKA Twigs is in
evidence to but Eckoes is a truly original talent and the lines that speak out
towards the end speak pertinently to the problems of society today: “I am a
human being, nothing human can be alien to me”.
