This year, Casey McQuillen has captivated the pop sphere, poised to leave a lasting impression with her latest release, ‘Better Than This’ – a triumphant anthem about unwavering dreams and overcoming the consistent struggles that come with them. The track arrives at a pivotal moment in her career, amidst a sold-out European tour supporting Anastacia, where audiences have embraced McQuillen for her heartfelt, profound songwriting and magnetic stage presence.
Encapsulating the glittering energy of her live performances, ‘Better Than This’ delivers a soulful, emotionally-charged message. Inspired by her life-altering voyage of moving to London to pursue music, the song reflects on the uphill climb of ambition and the exhilarating high when those dreams begin to materialize.
While evoking the self-empowering spirit of her previous single ‘Better,’ McQuillen leans into a more stadium-ready rock sound this time around. Soaring melodies collide with a wall of crashing guitars and drums, immersing listeners in a high-octane sonic landscape. With a voice full of conviction, she sings, “I’m standing on the edge of a cliff,” capturing the tension of a turning point and the undeniable thrill of pressing forward.
This poignant moment sparked the star’s unrelenting rise, and as she continues her unstoppable journey, ‘Better Than This’ emerges as a rousing call to reach higher: a stirring anthem for the dreamers that refuse to quit.
