ECHLO aka Chloe Charles pays homage to motherhood on captivating new single, “My Child”.

ECHLO aka Chloe Charles, Toronto’s renowned multi-genre musician, releases the new single “My Child” produced by Andrew Grant (breathe) from her highly anticipated forthcoming album ‘I Was I’.

Splitting her time between Mexico and Toronto, ECHLO – the stepsister of Julian Lennon, and daughter of the late famous Caribbean and European nightclub impresario Noel Charles – has spent the last few years becoming a mother of two children (a boy and a girl) while simultaneously strengthening her songwriting.

And it was this exact motherhood journey that had presciently and artfully inspired this new track.

I call this song my existential lullaby,” explains ECHLO, who while recording under her original performance (and birth) name Chloe Charles, won a wide range of awards in Canada and the US over the last decade including the SiriusXM Best Soul/R&B Artist of the Year, John Lennon Songwriting Competition, and the Harbourfront Centre’s Soundclash Award given to the city of Toronto’s best indie musician.

I wrote this song before ever having kids (my kids are three and two now). It was very early in my career when I was touring with violinist Davide Santi in Italy and we had a few days off in Milan and we’re completely burned out. Davide had access to a near empty house so we closed ourselves in for a week and without any distractions we wrote tirelessly. When writing ‘My Child’, Davide told me to imagine myself as a strong mother sharing wisdom with my child. I closed my eyes and went deep inwards to find this voice. What came out was a song for my future children and for my own inner child.”
