Taking the time at the end of the year to talk all about her record Skinny, we got the wonderful opportunity to sit and speak with Casey McQuillen. Please check out our full interview with the artist below.

For those potentially out of the loop, Casey McQuillen has been all over the map this year, gaining popularity and continuing to build up a loyal fanbase. You may recognize her from Season 13 of American Idol, but as of lately she’s been building up an impressive discography, in addition to having her music featured on many reputable channels. Her newest album is a vulnerable one titled Skinny and it was truly an outstanding chance to hear the ins and outs of how it got made and what listeners can expect in the new year.

Having spent a lot of this year recording, as well as touring all over the UK playing to sold out crowds, she’s well on her way to becoming a household name. During our extensive discussion, we spent a lot of our time talking about the messages, themes, and origin story of Skinny. While Casey certainly leads the charge with her immensely impressive vocals, so much of the heart of this album comes from its vivid and imagery-filled lyricism. It’s much better explained by the artist herself, but ultimately it’s quite relatable for those who experienced close similarities throughout the last two years. From a sonic perspective, it’s also such a fantastic blend of style and genre from start to finish. We got into that as well, basically laying out the blueprint and groundwork on how it all came together, which is really just another reason to give it a spin as soon as you can.

Looking forward towards 2023, Casey has already been giving a sneak peek towards what’s next via her social media. Fans can expect another record called In & Out to be released sometime soon, but if for some reason you’re unfamiliar with her work thus far, now’s the ideal time to hop on the bandwagon and explore everything she’s got to offer. With a voice, cadence, and emanating positivity that she exudes, Casey McQuillen is undoubtedly an artist to keep your eyes on in the coming years. Enjoy!
