Critical Reviews of Solitude:

Solitude By Bryan Quinn – Reviewed by Steve Sheppard

Debut singles are a time of nerves and letting go, as musicians we tend to be perfectionists, and fear what others make think of our efforts, so letting the music go, is akin to allowing your child, for the first time, go to the shops on his or her own.

Here Bryan Quinn delivers his debut single for flute and guitar to all, it is called Solitude and is one of the finest examples of a entrance single in this genre, I have in my time, heard many artist be too cautious upon releasing their debut release, but here Bryan allows his muse full access to his memories, emotions and artistic palate, and it works brilliantly.

There is a depth to this single that is rarely found from this genre, clearly the mood created is letting go of past events and possible trauma, and in doing so finding a sanctuary of oneness, otherwise known as much needed Solitude, Quinn through his instrumentation and compositional structures, manifests this perfectly.

This is a beautiful example of instrumental music that truly means something, and from an open heart perspective too, which allows the fluency of the composition to simply flow with grace and humility.

It is also good to see that Bryan performed the guitar, bass E flute, mid E flute and bird calls on a high E flute, and is in fact the master of all that he creates, as such I truly believe this is a special, and more than likely a cathartic moment for the artist, that point will be well received by the listener, and as such a huge hit could well be on the cards for Solitude by Bryan Quinn.

At some point in our lives a sound captivates us, and for many, it’s the sound of the Native flute. That deep, low Native flute calls out from a place of Solitude, awakening the listener to an emotive journey.

Bryan Quinn’s debut single release, “Solitude,” masterfully strikes a balance between technical precision and raw emotion. Many flute players often focus solely on technique, potentially masking the soul of the song. However, Bryan seamlessly blends both elements, creating a piece that resonates deeply with its listeners.

“Solitude” has a bittersweet aura, evoking a sense of déjà vu for a memory not yet lived. The interplay between the midrange and bass Native flutes is mesmerizing, as they dance in harmony, intertwining and searching for their way to connect and be.  The subtle accents of bird whistles add rich texture, enhancing the overall soundscape. Although the song adheres to the industry standard length, its captivating nature leaves the listener yearning for more, a hallmark of truly great music.

Bryan Quinn should be immensely proud of this strong debut release. “Solitude” is an easily replayable track; its inviting essence draws you in again and again, allowing you to capture its depth and beauty with each listen. Bryan Quinn has truly made a memorable entrance into the music scene with “Solitude,” leaving listeners eagerly anticipating his future works.
