FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Will Echo Releases New Britpop EP "SEA" – A Poetic Journey Inspired by e.e. cummings
London, UK – February 21 2025
British singer-songwriter Will Echo is set to release his highly anticipated new EP, SEA, on March 14, 2025. The EP, which merges the poetic elegance of e.e. Cummings with the unmistakable energy of Britpop, promises to take listeners on a captivating auditory journey.
For SEA, Echo has delved into the public domain poems of the iconic American poet e.e. cummings, transforming his lyrical beauty into an emotionally charged musical experience. The EP explores themes of nature, love, and introspection, with each track bringing cummings’ vivid language and timeless imagery to life in new and innovative ways.
The EP marks a significant collaboration with James Livett, formerly of the Britpop band The Standard Lamps, whose contribution elevates the project with dynamic instrumentation and fresh perspectives. Together, Echo and Livett have created a collection of songs that blend poetic lyricism with the raw energy and charm of Britpop, drawing inspiration from the sounds of bands like The Who, Paul Weller, and The Bluetones — all of whom Livett has shared a stage with throughout his career.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the way e.e. cummings’ poems convey complex emotions in such a simple and intimate way”, says Will Echo. “With SEA, I wanted to blend his unique language with the familiar Britpop sound, giving these poems a new life for modern listeners.”
Will Echo’s deep connection to both the literary and musical worlds comes through in this project, showcasing his ability to weave together thoughtful lyrics and engaging melodies. SEA offers a refreshing new take on Britpop while inviting listeners to experience the works of one of the 20th century’s most influential poets in an entirely new light.
The release of SEA further solidifies Will Echo’s place as a respected figure in the British music scene. Echo continues to evolve as an artist with an undeniable presence and a voice that demands attention and screams ‘authenticity’.
SEA will be available for streaming and download on all major platforms beginning March 14, 2025.
