“I Know U Know” is a wonderful listening experience simply for the rich, beautiful, agile voice of ECHASL, a young woman from China, and the music.
The track is at once a debut for her, a tease for the album, Little Black Sheep, and an intro to her wonderfully exotic mix of musical cultures and instruments.
“I Know U Know” is also a protest song.
“It’s against all types of discrimination, like sexism and racism. It’s based on a real historical story,” she said. The story is about the first Chinese woman recorded as having landed in the United states.
“But she was tricked, and she was sold to a circus in the United States, and, just like all the other animals, she was a show there. People would pay 10 cents for a ticket to see this yellow-skinned girl. This is the story that inspired me to write this song.”
