Casey Dienel ‘Your Girl’s Upstairs’ - A Sonically Rich Queer Anthem

Casey Dienel makes a stormy, magnetic return with “Your Girl’s Upstairs,” a track that feels as cinematic as it is raw. From its opening pulse to its shimmering climax, the song walks a tightrope between vulnerability and swagger, drawing on alt-pop, roadhouse Americana, and something unmistakably Dienel. There’s a lived-in elegance to the production, with meg duffy’s unmistakable guitar lines slicing through like headlights in the dark.

What makes the single truly compelling is its emotional honesty—Dienel delivers each lyric with a kind of quiet conviction that’s impossible to fake. This isn’t confessionalism for its own sake; it’s storytelling shaped by a life lived at the margins, and a refusal to tidy up the contradictions that come with it. The track’s chorus doesn’t beg for sympathy—it simply knows.

“Your Girl’s Upstairs” offers a thrilling hint of what’s to come on My Heart Is An Outlaw. If this is the opening chapter, we’re in for a record that blends grit with grace, tension with tenderness. It’s music that doesn’t ask for permission—and that’s exactly what makes it so vital.
