Description
Berlin-based Irish-Norwegian artist Tara Nome Doyle presents her third album, Ekko. This 30 - minute musical odyssey takes listeners on an exploration of pain, farewells, new beginnings, and acceptance. It combines emotional depth with remarkable clarity. Hits like Lighthouse, Bad Days, and Dive In feature powerful melodies that soar in large - venue - ready refrains before diving into intimate verses. Tara self - produced most of the album, keeping the musical palette simple. She collaborated with Grammy - winning producer Simon Goff to craft a stripped - back soundscape centered around voice, piano, guitar, strings, Mellotron, and occasional analog synthesizers. Ancient myths are seamlessly woven into the album, with Narcissus and the nymph Echo representing extremes of self - obsession and conformity. In today's digital world, these ideas mirror the struggle between authenticity and assimilation. Ekko shows that repetition can be transformative, like Echo's curse redefining tradition and identity. The album cover, with Tara wearing shell headphones, symbolizes listening inward, connecting us to the pulse of our own being.
