Quinn Oulton's ‘So Much More’ is a poignant reflection upon the life of his grandmother, who lived with Parkinson’s Disease for as long as he can remember. Written from the perspective of Quinn’s grandmother, the track details her fighting spirit and love for life, despite the adversities she faced. It’s a deeply moving tribute to a woman who had no time for self-pity but spent a lifetime pouring love into the world and helping others. Quinn contrasts his tender lyrical approach with a frenetic combination of acoustic guitar, electronics and dulcet saxophone tones, creating a musical representation of the complexities of living with Parkinson’s.
On the track, he shares:"This track is dedicated to my grandma, GK, who had Parkinson’s for almost as long as I can remember. She was cheated out of life experiences, but despite being born into unimaginably difficult circumstances and fighting for a life she was proud of, she didn’t wallow in self-pity. Instead, she took it upon herself to learn every dark detail about the disease that was eating away at her, and focused her brilliant mind on helping others in any way they needed.”
South London-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist & producer Quinn Oulton is known for his unique concoction of electronic, indie and jazz. His recent releases bring contemporary RnB elements into the mix - expect heavily altered vocals, chopped acoustic guitars and fast-paced drums.
His debut album ‘Alexithymia’ was released in 2022, receiving national radio support from Gilles Peterson & Huey Morgan (6 Music), Jack Saunders & Sian Eleri (BBCR1), along with Jamie Cullum (BBCR2)& Jamz Supernova (BBC1Xtra). It includes tracks featuring Moses Boyd and Genevieve Artadi. The deluxe version of the album, released in 2023, features singers Ella Grace and Monica Martin, whilst recent singles have also seen him team up with the likes of Reuben James, Linden Jay and Col3trane. He has recently played supported artists including KNOWER, Laura Misch and Jamie Cullum, and is set to embark on his first UK headline tour this November.
Quinn also tours and regularly appears on radio and TV playing saxophone alongside 2020 Mercury Nominee, Moses Boyd, and performs with artists such as Priya Ragu, Yellow Days, Theon Cross, & Conor Albert.
lyrics
You can take my steady hand
Yes you can (even the one I write with)
I'll still be here writing letters
For years and years (it's not as clear but it's the words that matter)
Is that all you got?
All you got for me?
I got so much more
So much more to give
You can send me
Strangers in the night
You do it all the time
(I tell them I won't bite)
You can steal the
Words right from the air
As if I care
(I'll always find another)
Is that all you got?
All you got for me?
I got so much more
So much more to give
