“Hourglass” was built around a warming soundscape of muted piano and beautifully placed backing vocals. The instrumentation creates a pillowy, warming backing for Camryn Quinlan’s delicate, silky lead vocal. Gradually introducing strummed acoustic guitar into its radiant chorus, the track starts a slow build with layers of strings, synth, guitar, bass, and driving drums pulling the track forward with a sense of purpose before ending on a poignant last chorus.
Youthful and accessible with storytelling that reflects on real-life experiences, “Hourglass” thematically is a reflection on the fleeting nature of young love. Camryn explains: “‘Hourglass’ was inspired by a common high school heartbreak, long distance. Going into a relationship knowing how it would end. There felt like an expiration date or an hourglass that was slowly running out a clock.”
“Hourglass” showcases the introspective, heartfelt songwriting that stylizes Camryn Quinlan’s sound. The song also offers listeners a savory taste of Camryn’s forthcoming debut EP, “If We’re Being Honest.” About the project, Camryn explained, “‘If We’re Being Honest’ is a bunch of different narrations of being in a relationship of any kind. Most of this EP is raw and true feelings that I experienced. Growing up is hard, and heartbreak is a big part of it.” The upcoming project promises a collection of songs that are both lyrically profound and musically rich as Camryn showcases her strikingly complete sound, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists including Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, and Chappell Roan.
