Echos delivers her raw and unfiltered new single ‘PAPERCUTS’

Echos plunges listeners deep into the emotional realm with her hauntingly poignant new single ‘PAPERCUTS’. This third instalment from her upcoming album cements her move from the sphere of dance music into reflective alternative soundscapes. Known for her thought-provoking lyrics and melodic vulnerability, Echos has crafted yet another piece that seamlessly melds personal introspection with universal resonance that genuinely connects deeply with her audience.

‘PAPERCUTS’ is a turnaround in Echos’ very own journey toward recovery. Written in a raw, improvisational session, the song’s lyrics pour out of the unfiltered cages of thought. “The first song we wrote together sent chills down my spine,” says Echos. She describes the freestyled lyrics and a spontaneous humming rendition to bring up a painful past, at the same time fuelling a new version of herself. It is clear how the way she has navigated past traumas has deeply shaped her artistic releases. Major issues with depression, anxiety, and a fresh diagnosis of complex PTSD have all become part of the fabric that cloaks her artistry, making personal pain lyrical catharsis.

Along with the single release, Echos has released a music video capturing a haunting visual to accompany the raw emotions of the ‘PAPERCUTS’. Flickering lights create the feeling of glitches in the beginning of a live performance. It is a haunting and tension building effect, creating an uneasy watch but is the perfect imagery for the nature of the song. As it reaches the crescendo the feeling is more of the electricity and flashes in a lightning storm. What better visual for the thunderous emotions conveyed in the instrumentation and vocals.

Having generated more than 200 million streams and collaborated with the likes of Illenium, Seven Lions, and Dabin, Echos has already made a significant dent in the music world. But in the making of this album while forging her path into alternative, she promises even more layers of self to be revealed. The evolution is deeply personal: a reclaiming of voice, testament to resilience, and healing.

As Echos continues to peel the layers back of her soul in ‘PAPERCUTS’ and beyond, she reminds her fans that beauty lies in vulnerability and strength in facing one’s demons head-on. She invites listeners to step into the dark with her and find solace in the shared human experience. If there’s anything Echos’ music can relate to, especially for those who have suffered in silence, it’s that healing- however painful- is possible, and nobody is ever alone.
