What the press is saying about quinnie:
“The mixture of tentativeness and bold declaration, bedroom-pop intimacy and multitrack craftsmanship.” – The New York Times
“Her lyrics are rich with vivid imagery.” – Pitchfork
“A really promising singer-songwriter” – NPR
Singer, songwriter and artist quinnie shares her new single “baja bird.” The song is a charming blend of her signature poetic wit and entrancing production. Alongside “baja bird,” quinnie shares the Alejandra Demers-directed video portraying snippets of quinnie running along the coastline, traversing highways on the back of a motorcycle, and exploring a wind farm at dusk. “baja bird” is the first offering from a larger body of work set to arrive later this year.
Speaking about the new single, quinnie shares, “I wrote ‘baja bird’ about the feeling of getting a soda at the gas station and driving around for hours and going to the beach and experiencing beauty as if you are still an invincible teenage girl.”
“baja bird” follows the success of her critically acclaimed 2023 debut album Flounder, which Pitchfork stated “submerges us in baptismal primordial soup” and includes standout track “touch tank.” Since the debut album’s release, quinnie has garnered over 100 million streams, sold out every headline show, and earned praise from publications including Rolling Stone, NPR, and The New York Times.
Hailing from New Jersey, she began releasing home cooked music in high school, attended a year of college, and then dropped out at nineteen to further pursue music in Los Angeles. Through the years, quinnie’s music has undoubtedly grown both in size and quality. However, her handcrafted charm is maintained, making records almost exclusively with her roommate and best friends, and continuing to deeply involve herself in each creative corner of her project. Though on paper, quinnie is a singer-songwriter, she sees herself as an artist first. The never ending journey for an unspecified Why, the ungraspable root of the human condition, the task of turning feelings that words can’t describe into something tangible – this is the greatest undertaking of her work. In the world of quinnie, when moving with the currents of serendipity, the songs will write themselves.
