ablume are here with their first single album Echo, and the title track of the same name.

ablume are finally here, and it’s good to see the girls again like this! I was really excited for this (re)debut and to hear what these talented girls would provide us with, but I know that it surely won’t lack that nostalgic, pretty melody they excel at. I hope that this single album will bring them a lot of support because they really deserve it, and I’m excited to see the promotions for this era, as well as what awaits them in the future. Let’s review Echo and see what it’s all about.

A Stunning Track That Shines

Echo is stunning. I can already say that it’s one of my favorite girl group releases of the year, and I know I’ll be absolutely obsessed with it. The song brings that cozy type of nostalgia that really suits their vocals and their charm, but also brings enough spring-like energy to get you moving. The verses are very solid, setting a strong base for the catchy, upbeat, and smooth chorus to take over the spotlight.

I’m a sucker for this type of songs – the ones where you feel like you’d love to be on a road trip with your friends while the wind blows through your hair, and the sun shines shyly behind the clouds. Although the second verse does introduce a rap-oriented section, it works well and goes just as smoothly back to the original melody. Another stand-out has to be the final chorus, which adds an additional explosion of energy and works so well as an outro to Echo.

The music video, as expected, is very beautiful, soft, spring-like, and suits the girls perfectly. I couldn’t have wished for a better track to have these three talented girls back on the scene!

Don’t Miss Never Far Away

I would also recommend listening to the absolute stunner that is Never Far Away, which works as a prologue of this single album, and will instantly awaken all of your feelings, trust me. What a song! It’s also really nice how well the song flows into Echo on the album, the transition smooth and soft, as the whole atmosphere of this album.

Welcome ablume, and I wish you all the best on your new musical journey.
