Single Review - Mistakes - Emilia Quinn



The new single Mistakes from Emilia Quinn is definitely on the Rock edge of Country Rock and it is definitely making a statement from the opening chords.


Rik first met Emilia when he introduced her on stage at Buckle and Boots 2019 where she delivered a very strong set, since then she has formed her own promotions company Whiskey Kisses putting on gigs in her native Leeds, as well as teaming up with Emma Moore for a now postponed tour.  Normally performing solo, Emilia has now assembled a band to support her, which makes a real difference with this new release.


The mistake in track is clearly a man!  “Mr Fights, Mr Exes, Mr Mistakes”. He’s the mister that that keeps crawling back, making her a liar and want to self-destruct. 


There is some very clever phrasing, but really this track is more about the overall sound, and you can hear the emotion in the way that Emilia sings and the heavy drum beat, electric guitar shreds, with the song dropping back to a slightly more mellow vocal before kicking back to the rocking feel.  The drum really drives the track with the superb guitar parts allowing Emilia to vary her singing, from measured to full on “rock chick”


There is a controlled anger in the song, the song is taking back control - if he’s coming back its on her terms! This is a girl with attitude. 


Don’t listen to this song with a glass of whiskey, listen to it with a bottle!

Mistakes, the new single from Emilia Quinn is available on all major platforms from 30 April.
