Quinn Oulton reveals brand new Alexithymia (Deluxe Edition)

 

Following the release of his debut album 'Alexithymia' in May 2022, Quinn Oulton releases the Deluxe Edition, featuring Ella Grace, Monica Martin, Hemai & more.

After teasing us with a series of diverse singles, including a team up with singer-songwriter Ella Grace for Wonderland-backed single ‘Next Time (Ella Grace Version)’, Quinn is ready to share 'Alexithymia Deluxe'. Consisting of six reinventions of tracks from the album, plus the original track listing, this is a special package that reflects a capsule in time in his artistic journey, and hints at what’s yet to come.

With reimagining’s ranging from heartfelt piano duets through to experimental electronic & 808 heavy explorations, Quinn has used the project to recontextualise his music and connect with new collaborators. Alongside his solo reworks, he’s taken the opportunity to team up with Chicago-based singer-songwriter Monica Martin and London-based broken beat & trip-hop producer Hemai.

“The writing and production process for the original album was a time of growth and development in my sound as I toyed with different areas of influence from song to song. For this Deluxe version, I wanted to bring some of these tracks into a new context by stripping away all of the production or approaching them from a completely different angle sonically. I love how different the same song can hit when presented in a new context.”

South London based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist & producer Quinn Oulton exhibits a raw sound, melding soaring vocals and tangled acoustic textures with abstract electronics. His music spans several genres, including jazz, indie and pop.

His debut album 'Alexithymia' was released in May 2022, receiving national radio support from Gilles Peterson, Huey Morgan & Cerys Matthews (6 Music), Jack Saunders & Sian Eleri (BBCR1), along with Jamie Cullum (BBCR2) & Jamz Supernova (BBC1X). It includes tracks featuring Moses Boyd and Genevieve Artadi.

Recently Quinn has played shows at the Blue Note in Milan, HEAVEN and Band on the Wall supporting KNOWER, and Woolwich Works supporting Laura Misch. Alongside his solo career, Quinn tours and regularly appears on radio and TV alongside 2020 Mercury Nominee, Moses Boyd, and performs with artists such as Priya Ragu, Yellow Days, Theo Cross, & Conor Albert.
