Think you'll get very far Standing there beneath the stars Took it slow, dropped your keys And forgot where you parked Us and them leaves us pretending We're alright Doesn't need to be this way Play the part Trading words, a heart to heart Why not give yourself a chance To be heard, a fresh start There's no use defending Something that's wasting you away Stop hiding in shame And show your pretty face I've been pretending That I've truly made a star I've been walking down this lonely road with my eyes closed It won't get me very far So tell me why are you afraid Fear it once What's the harm Take the jump Trust your heart It's never steered you wrong I have to open my eyes to see The beauty right in front of me So stop hiding in shame Show your pretty face So stop hiding in shame Show your pretty face So stop hiding in shame Show your pretty face So stop hiding in shame Show your pretty face So stop hiding in shame Show your pretty face So stop hiding in shame Show your pretty face

about

DeepMatter Records are incredibly excited to announce Quinn Oulton's 'Show Your Face' EP.

South London-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist & producer Quinn Oulton readies new music with his upcoming EP ‘Show Your Face’ releasing in July 2021 on London-based label DeepMatter. Exhibiting a raw sound, melding soaring vocals and tangled acoustic textures with abstract electronics, the EP’s sound is deeply unique.

On ‘Show Your Face’, Oulton joins forces with vocalist (and Touching Bass family member) Demae to offer an airy jazz number, highly refined in its cadences and colours. With a graceful arrangement and elegant vocals, the first single acts as the perfect appetizer for this new body of work.

In the EP’s second single ‘Start Again’, Quinn presents an airy atmosphere with delightful colours, cadences, and elegant arrangements. This is the first time Oulton teams up with another producer on his own music, joining forces with Conor Albert, he offers skillfully crafted verses alternated with soaring choruses, the track acquires great emotional dynamic. The spacious number is composed of powerful and hopeful melodies accentuating his endearing vocals, certain to leave listeners enriched.

Quinn picked up the saxophone at a very young age. His thirst for music was nurtured by mentors Julian Joseph and Soweto Kinch - two heavyweights of the UK Jazz scene. Although Jazz was his focus, he was surrounded by blues, folk and rock music at home thanks to his dad’s diverse record collection. His first leap into the world as a solo artist was a self-produced EP in 2017 exploring his own voice and skills as an instrumentalist to tell a story. This release earned him a place on the 2018 Red Bull Music Academy, a two-week course that entirely changed his scope and ambitions. His eyes were opened to the world of electronic music culture - working alongside legends such as Just Blaze and father of techno Mike Banks (Underground Resistance). His 2020 EP 'Long Gone' presented a more refined sound as he honed his production skills and pushed his vocal abilities further. He tours and regularly appears on radio and TV alongside 2020 Mercury Nominee, Moses Boyd.
