It’s the height of summer, and we’re in the middle of a scorching heatwave – so the pressure to look perfectly tanned and “summer-ready” is at an all-time high. But if you’re not feeling confident or are struggling with your appearance, London-based singer Casey McQuillen is here to remind us that none of that should matter. Despite what the latest ‘thinspo’ trends might suggest, her message is clear: it’s all about feeling good in your own skin.

Her hit single ‘Skinny,’ a defining hit that launched her career, addresses the singer’s personal battle with body image and the toxic impact of society’s obsession with ‘thinness.‘ As this trend swiftly returns, the singer bravely took to Instagram to openly share her thoughts on its patriarchal undertone and the negative impact it can unravel.

‘Sometimes it feels like achieving thinness is the only thing standing between me and the life I want.’ she says, underlining the song’s message of feeling sidelined. ‘But the fact that body’s can go in and out of style is proof that society’s current obsession with thinness isn’t about health, it’s about capitalism and patriarchy. You’re more than a number on the scale.’

This inspiring campaign for body positivity is boosted by her infectious, sassy hit ‘Better’ – a fun-loving, empowering pop gem that embraces self-love and #SingleSummer in it’s most glorious and liberating form. It’s all about keeping your standards high, and prioritising yourself.

Renowned for her impactful Anti-Bullying advocacy ‘The You Matter Tour’ – a powerful concert series across UK and US schools that was recognised by the UN Foundation and The Kelly Clarkson Show – Casey aims to empower those who may be bullied or undervalued, spreading a positive message with radiant pop music that is candidly heartfelt as it is powerful.

Whether she’s tackling unrealistic societal standards or delivering arena-filling hits – fresh off back-to-back tours with Eurovision winner Loreen and Anastacia – Casey Mcquillen is a star in the making with songs that make those feel less starry – feel better.

And what better way to wrap up her career-defining year than her European autumn tour, ‘The Better Tour’ and perhaps much more music on the way…
