Emilia Quinn – “Dirty Little Lie” Is Built for 100,000 People
Dirty Little Lie” is Emilia Quinn kicking the door open to the biggest stages of her career
Dirty Little Lie is a full-band anthem — lyrically razor-sharp, packed with all the right elements. Subtle background vocals weave in and out, leading into those perfectly timed bursts of instrumentation you only get from a band that’s truly in sync. This is a stadium-filling, major festival headlining statement. Take note — this could easily break out and earn major radio play.
From the first note, Emilia’s raw, vulnerable vocal pulls you straight in. The band begins to build underneath, and her delivery shifts — gaining confidence, taking full control of the situation. The electric solo in the breakdown is perfectly placed, setting up the return to an intense vocal section on the line “when I’m waking up in my bed and this pounding in my head.” By the time she hits the expletive, she’s commanding every inch of the song — with that signature vocal growl adding extra bite.
It keeps building — tension layered on tension — before dropping into a brief, vulnerable moment as she delivers the gut-punch of “kicking someone out.” Then it’s right back to full-throttle confidence, the band driving her voice higher and harder until the very end.
With the upcoming album tour on the horizon, this track feels destined for far bigger stages than the rooms it’ll debut in. It deserves to be shaking 100,000-capacity festivals and venues.
This track is proof of just how big she’s about to get. That second album on the horizon? It’s shaping up to be the kind of record she’ll look back on years from now and say, “I made that.”
