Hello and welcome to on repeat in 2024. I hope you’re all having a good start to the year. We’re kicking off with an extra special release day edition because my song, Echo, is out today!
Rewind - writing and recording Echo
I just scrolled back and found my first ever voice memo that references Echo. It’s called ‘Echo ideas 1’ and it’s from November 2021… I’ve been performing it live for years, making tweaks along the way, and finally started recording it last year.
My producers were Joe and Nikki at Auburn Jam studios, London - they are the best team of producers and I couldn’t be happier with how the song turned out. My friend and long-standing collaborator, Harry, arranged the backing vocals with me, and we’re both on the track singing those. It’s been a long journey to today, but so worth it.
Pause
I’d like to pause and thank the incredible team who made the Echo music video with me! This was my first music video to shoot and it’s a credit to the team that I had the most fun day making it.
The team:
Camera and editing - Jonathan Eve
Director - Eleanor Pead
Actors - Rosalind Ford and Catherine Phillips

Fast-forward - more releases soon
2024 is going to be a fun year. My next single, Her, will be out on Friday 16th February, and we’re having a single release party the night before at The Four Thieves in Clapham Junction. Pop it in the diary and come along!
The highlight of the year will definitely be releasing my debut album in April. More details to come in the next edition.
Shuffle
I really recommend Rosie Mackean’s substack called ‘The Dinner Party’ - it gives me so much cooking inspiration.
Obsessed with this moment in The Traitors.
Here’s a live version of Echo :)
Thanks for getting to the end of this special edition. If you like receiving this in your inbox, I’d love for you to share it with a friend and to see you at a gig soon.
See you soon,
Imogen
