Quinn Oulton - Throw Your Weight

Quinn Oulton takes an introspective look into his teenage years on his new single ‘Throw Your Weight’. It continues a prolific streak of releases which have included his 'Alexithymia’ Deluxe album, and the COLORS and BBC Radio 6-backed collaborative single ‘100 Degrees’, which saw him partner with Reuben James and Linden Jay.

Similarly to ‘100 Degrees’, ‘Throw Your Weight’ utilises a gripping hook and Quinn’s signature blend of jazz-infused instrumentation and leftfield electronic/RnB production. After performing the song throughout the UK and Europe over the summer, it’s become a mainstay and audience favourite in his live set due to its relatability and sing-back qualities.

On the track, Quinn says: "When writing ‘Throw Your Weight’, I dug into my teenage years, thinking about the social dynamics of growing up and learning to deal with feelings of inferiority and jealousy. Kids can be mean, and a lot of the time it feels as though you’re left to fend for yourself. This song is a look into the toxic relationships that can develop at that stage in your life, and how you create defences against them as you grow up."
