London-based artist Lucinda Chua has shared the new song and accompanying short film, ‘Echo‘ announcing her debut solo album YIAN, out March 24th via 4AD.
If Chua’s 2022 release ‘Golden,’ written from the perspective of her younger self, was the meditative prelude to the world of YIAN, then her new single ‘Echo’ places us firmly in its first chapter. A pop song about ancestral trauma, ‘Echo’ is the antihero’s journey, walking the line between respect for the past and the freedom to carve out a new future. (“I won’t carry your shame / Won’t be your echo again… I couldn’t be anyone else / I look to you, I see myself”). Chua delivers with her uniquely intimate, yet otherworldly sound in this self-produced and engineered song, capturing sensuous echoing harmonies and delicate soul-infused piano.
