ECHOES OF US

Echoes of Us is more than an EP — it’s a dialogue carried across oceans, generations, and hearts.

Rooted in Afrohouse, this four-track project brings together Zimbabwean singer Lalla Martin and Guadeloupean producer Motsek, weaving a deeply emotional story where electronic textures meet ancestral echoes.

It begins with Siyakuphi, a haunting question in Lalla’s native tongue: Where are we going? A raw reflection on a youth lost to addiction and silence — the echo of a world adrift, searching for direction, meaning, and a way back home.

Then comes The Other Side, a luminous love song in English — a moment of warmth and intimacy where two souls mirror one another beyond time and borders. The trumpet of Julien Mercier runs parallel to the melody, like a distant signal, never overpowering, always present.

The EP closes with Lost in Harare, a powerful instrumental led by a striking dialogue between Motsek’s production and Mercier’s trumpet. Here, the brass takes center stage, soaring and searching, carrying the emotional weight of memory, longing, and release.

From personal to political, from inner fracture to deep connection, Echoes of Us is exactly that: the reverberation of what we inherit, what we question, and what we pass on — together.
