Most pop songs about self-acceptance have tentative, quavering vocals, but thatโs not the case with Nathalie Mirandaโs powerful new single โEchoesโ. The UK artist has a confident Big Voice that will remind you of Adele, Taylor Dayne and American soul/pop singer Suzanne Palmer. In short, the song sizzles with emotion and energy.
Commenting on the new single, Miranda says, โI struggled with my appearance for years, picking myself apart. Writing and recording this song was extremely cathartic. Itโs hard to look back on how I treated myself. I shed so many tears while recording. Now Iโve learned to forgive my younger self. Iโm free from the dark place. I accept myself when I look in the mirror. But the echoes of my past will always be there.โ
Born in London to Greek-Cypriot parents, Mirandaโs extraordinary vocal gifts are complemented by her courageous lyrics. โEchoesโ is one of the best self-forgiveness anthems ever penned, with lines like โI will be there in the mirror for you / I am older, I am grown, I am free.โ
