After kicking things off in the back half of 2024, pop singer-songwriter Camryn Quinlan is gearing up for 2025 with release of her latest, “ex-box.” Centered around her powerful vocal, it’s a fruit of her tandem with Icelandic producer Baldvin Hlynsson, who’s also produced the rest of her discography to date. “ex-box” is about “the box of cards, gifts, jewelry, movie tickets, and other sentiments that came from” an ex-lover, says the teenager, who hails from NYC. With a foursome of published singles now under her belt, and a massive social media following to boot, the Long Islander could be one to watch in coming years.

Camryn on “ex-box”:
“The meaning behind ‘ex box’, is as simple as keeping things that are left behind from exes. The box of cards, gifts, jewelry, movie tickets, and other sentiments that came from that special person. It’s almost like keeping those physical memories, kept the person in your life.
I made the song when I was starting freshman year of high school, and I was just writing in my bed one day, thinking about the box that I had in my room. It was finally recorded three years later when I met my Icelandic producer Baldvin. He flew from Iceland to New York for us to work together and then the song was all put together. It’s crazy how these things happen.”
