This Song Has Got Me Hooked

I didn't know ECHLO until I heard 'Puppeteer', but once I first heard it, I was hooked. I did some digging and found out more about ECHLO as soon as I fell in love with her voice. ECHLO is an artist that knows a thing or two about breaking free. Chloe Charles introduced ECHLO to the world with her 2019 successful introductory EP ‘Echolocation‘. Stating that this alter ego is her artistic reinvention, you can truly hear how Chloe found her feet with this new project in 'Puppeteer'. Sometimes we find ourselves in a position of power over someone else, the master in a love affair. Sometimes we take advantage of this and sometimes we wake up and cut the strings. We have all been masters and puppets in some form or another. At some point we have to cut our strings and break free. THAT is exactly how I feel Puppeteer is exectued.

Sounding somewhere between the realms of atmospheric dark-pop, electronica and with a touch of trip-hop, this is a track that deserves to be at the top of the charts. ECHLO hypnotized me with her enchanting vocals, and makes Puppeteer the type of track that Portishead and Massive Attack would love to have in their discographies. Armed with creative use of beats and percussion, Puppeteer comes across as experimental yet able to win the hearts of all types of music lovers. Inspired by a past relationship where the power was unbalanced, the track feels relatable to anyone out there struggling to cut the strings in a toxic relationship, whether platonic or romantic.
