Review: "Frankenstein" - Echo The Screen

Echo The Screen’s debut single, Frankenstein, is an indie pop song about an on and off relationship. Picture this. You find yourself in an unrelenting pattern. They come crawling back. You fall for their pity party. You end up in bed. You’re fighting (probably over something meaningless). They run away. You cry. Just when you’re thinking of moving on, they come crawling back and history repeats itself. It’s a classic case of ignoring red flags. Same story. Same vicious cycle. It's not real love. It will always be toxic and it will never be worth the headache.

Frankenstein is upbeat, catchy, and bright. Lyrics like “Love me when you need me but you throw it all behind and I don’t know if I could ever learn to turn and read the signs” highlight what I was saying earlier about ignoring red flags. I like the vibe. I like the feeling it invokes in me. When I listen to it, it makes me feel like I’m at the beach catching a wave in 70 degree weather with a nice summer breeze. If you disregard the lyrics, you would think it’s a happy song. That’s the work of a good songwriter. It’s a strong debut and a great start to his music career.

Echo The Screen is a solo artist and student in the Professional Music Program at Toronto Metropolitan University. He is influenced by Beach House and Dick Dale. Music is how he copes with ADHD, anxiety, and self-doubt. He uses it as a way to make sense of his feelings and identity. Listeners will find vulnerability, introspection, melancholy, and nostalgia in his songs. He is not just an artist, but also an idea. His mission is to carry the creativity, ideas, and curiosity from behind the screen into the real world where real stories can thrive beyond their reflection.
