Amelia Quinn – Midnight (single)

Following on from her debut single Something, which caught the attention of BBC Introducing DJ Jericho Keys, who then offered her a session, Hull based singer-songwriter Amelia Quinn finds influence from the 90’s alt-pop scene with her new single Midnight – a track written by two friends unable to sleep & pouring their emotions into a song about an inability to move on from past relationships.

Released on Hull’s Warren Records & recorded at Hull University with local indie producer Adam Pattrick, this impassioned, catchy slice of alt-pop covers feelings of anger at being stuck within a situation while understanding that everyone around you is moving on & leaving you behind. The way in which the lyric says “I’m glad you’ve forgotten, I’m glad you’re doing just fine”, lays bare an honesty in Amelia’s songwriting in which cynical thoughts we can all get caught up in, keep us locked in a situation that’s often not good for us.

Amelia explains: “Midnight is for anyone who thinks everyone is moving on quicker than them… you can take as long as you need, if you’re still angry that is okay. The use of repetition in this song is a purposeful technique, which is used to provoke the ideas of trying & trying again within the same situation, but with nothing ever changing”.
