Sincerely, it’s always a pleasure to click the play button on a new Lucius Echo track, because you never know what you’re getting into. In this case, he’s over delivered on a superb cover of Nirvana’s single, “Where Did You Sleep Last Night”. Read on as we share our complete thoughts on the song.

The maturation of Lucius Echo is on full display in his latest cover of the classic "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", originally by Nirvana. Echo's rendition breathes new life into the song, while also showcasing his growing versatility as an artist. Honestly, we don’t think we’ve heard this overall softness in his vocals before, so it was a wonderful change of pace. With that being said though, the edge, aggression, and ode to Kurt come through in a lovely and elegant way as well.

As we look ahead to 2023, Echo has promised fans an impressive 15-20 new releases with varying genres and styles. Through his recent releases and upcoming works, he is quickly establishing a sound that is uniquely his own. Theis cover of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is a prime example of this. Echo's haunting vocals and stripped-down instrumentation create a raw and emotional atmosphere that is both captivating and memorable. He manages to infuse the song with his own style and personality, while still honoring the original. It’s not the first time, nor the last, we’ll review a cover by Lucius Echo because the final results are always otherworldly and inspired.

Fans of Echo's work can look forward to many exciting releases in the coming year, including "Death," "Fade," and "NoOuTlet." With each new release, Echo continues to prove that he is a dynamic and talented artist, one who is not afraid to push boundaries and explore new musical territory.

Another thing that must be mentioned is how he actively took the “less popular route”. That means he could have easily chosen the more well known Nirvana tracks, but chose an underrated one in our opinion that will 100% stand out and live up to the test of time. To say he nailed it would be an understatement. Find out for yourselves by clicking the links below to listen, follow along, and of course to stay tuned for a huge year ahead.
