Echobelly Song Lyrics

Echobelly were a prominent Britpop band and a force in the British musical invasion of the 1990s.

They debuted in 1994 with their Everyone's Got One album. Although often compared to Blondie and influenced by Morrissey, who himself was a fan of the group, Echobelly carved out their own place with tuneful melodies that cascaded between exuberant optimism and vehement attacks against oppression, bigotry, and alienation in the modern world.

The most prominent part of Echobelly's success formula was vocalist Sonya Madan, who was also the group's primary lyricist. Born in Delhi, India, before moving to England at the age of two, Madan had an unusual background for a pop star. Her rigid upbringing made rock n' roll taboo for her as a youngster, and she didn't attend her first rock concert until she was in college. In 1990 she met Glenn Johansson, a guitarist from Sweden who was pursuing a career in music. Johansson had previously edited a Swedish pornographic magazine called Eros, which may contribute to the band's focus on sexual issues in many of their songs. He and Madan dated for a while, then remained friends after breaking up.
