It has been an absolute joy watching Emilia Quinn growing over the past few years. We have the privilege of working closer with many acts when we manage stages at Independent Festivals, and whilst we are always sorry to see acts move on from our stage, it is with absolute pride that we see them take their place on a main stage. We’ve had exactly that with Emilia, from performing solo with an early slot on the Paddock Stage at Buckle and Boots to an evening slot full band where she absolutely blew the roof off – and the following year smashing it on the main stage!
The next step in that growth
is her headline tour in November this year, taking in London, Birmingham, Manchester,
and Glasgow before ending in her adopted hometown of Leeds.
Emilia’s new single, Mr Shame,
is also about growth, in the form of growing your confidence and growing your
self love. In Emilia’s own words
The inspiration for Mr. Shame came from a situation where an ex was making me doubt myself and my confidence. It's about choosing yourself over others' thoughts and opinions and choosing to be confident despite criticisms.
A heavy guitar opening gives
way to Emilia’s vocal, absolutely setting the tone for the song. Hard rocking with a story is the style we’re
accustomed to from the performer often described as “a firecracker”. The pace, the bass line, all contribute to
the sense of taking control and rejecting whatever is holding you back. The backing vocals drop in perfectly in a
style we don’t hear enough off, as do the pauses and the slowing down of the instrumentation.
Throughout the song, you get a sense of power from Emilia, power coming
directly from her. As a whole, it is
reminiscent of the female rockers in music, and we can start to number Emilia
in that group. The final guitar solo absolutely
cements this track as being on the rock side of country, and very much an
Emilia Quinn badass song.
