Echo - Goodbye Summer

chadsabin1989

Review by Chad Sabin

Goodbye Summer by Echo: A Wild Ride Through 1990s Hong Kong Vibes Alright, let’s cut to the chase—Goodbye Summer by Echo isn’t your run-of-the-mill album. Released in 1990 under Forte Records Co. Ltd., this sucker blends genres like Folk, World, Country, Electronic, Funk/Soul, and Pop into one chaotic yet oddly satisfying mixtape of vibes. It’s got House beats, Disco grooves, Boogie bops, and Synth-pop glitter all over it. If you’re looking for something that screams “Hong Kong in the '90s,” this is it. Now, I gotta say, some tracks here hit harder than others. Take "給我一個吻" (Give Me a Kiss), for example. This track slaps so hard it might as well be illegal. The original version has this sultry, playful energy with synth hooks that just grab you by the collar and don’t let go. But wait—there’s also the karaoke-style "伴唱版" (backing vocals version). Yeah, they threw us a bone on that one, but honestly? Both versions slap. You can crank this jam at any party, and people will lose their minds trying to sing along—even if they don’t speak Mandarin. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen. Then there’s "誰是真正寂寞人" (Who Is Truly Lonely?). Man, this song punches you right in the gut without warning. It’s slow, moody, and dripping with melancholy, but damn does it stick with you. The vocals feel raw, almost like the singer's spilling their guts out live on stage. By the time the chorus kicks in, you’re either crying or fist-pumping because life is unfair AF. It’s the kind of tune you play when you need to process your feelings after a breakup—or maybe when you're drunk texting your ex at 3 AM. No judgment here. The rest of the album ain’t bad either. Tracks like "風度" (Elegance) bring back serious disco fever, while "情是空 情是夢" (Love Is Empty, Love Is A Dream) leans heavy into synth-pop territory, making you wanna dance even though the lyrics are kinda sad. And hey, who doesn’t love a good paradox? But here’s the kicker—what makes Goodbye Summer stand out isn’t just its genre-blending chaos; it’s how unapologetically Hong Kong it feels. Back in ’90, Forte Records was doing its thing, churning out music that reflected the city’s vibe: fast-paced, eclectic, and full of heart. Listening to this album now feels like stepping into a time capsule where neon lights flicker, cassette tapes rule, and everyone’s vibing to their own beat. So yeah, Goodbye Summer ain’t perfect. Some songs drag, and sure, the production could use a little polish. But honestly? That’s what makes it real. It’s messy, bold, and unforgettable—a snapshot of an era we’ll never get back. Oh, and fun fact: Did you know Echo disappeared from the scene not long after this release? Like, poof! Gone. Makes you wonder if they knew they’d already dropped their magnum opus. Either way, props to them for leaving us with this gem. Now go listen to it—you won’t regret it unless you hate fun.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Goodbye Summer* by Echo is a hidden gem from 1990 that blends so many genres it’s hard to pin down. Folk, electronic, funk, soul, pop—you name it. It even mixes Cantonese and English tracks, like "给我一个吻" ("Give Me a Kiss") and the title track "Goodbye Summer." Released in Hong Kong under Forte Records, this album feels like a time capsule of late '80s vibes meeting early '90s experimentation. And get this—it includes both vocal and instrumental versions of some songs, which was pretty unique for its time. A true crossover masterpiece!

不用見面 心中我亦覺得火暖
不用對話 心中我亦覺得溫暖

再會 (再會)
誰及光輝的你面
誰及高溫的你蔓延
我愛你暖我一再留戀

再會 (再會)
來日始終可再會
來日始終可再度回
(來日始終溫暖一天再度回)

再見 再見
別要低迴 快碰杯

再見 再見
別要低迴
明年會面又是一起依偎


再會 (再會)
留下輕鬆的片段
留下溫馨的這份緣
遠去了我也不覺是酸
