Camille's music combines edgy, percussive acoustic guitar, intensely sweet and powerful vocals and hooks that last for days.
Bio / Background
This is wonderful; full of life; wild, sweet and rich in its sound textures; graced with songwriting that fills the heart and surprises the mind. It is the work of an artist who is truly coming into her own, a woman who has fully digested a broad array of influences and incorporated them into her work, and now gives us, without question, exactly who she is. It is the CD that all who recognized great promise in Camille Bloom's earlier work will rejoice at. Recorded with uncanny care by producer/engineer Paul Kimble (who also lays down occasional back-up vocals, keyboard, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and lead guitar parts), the CD captures Camille's voice impeccably and showcases all her strengths. Let's talk about three strengths here.
↓ more ↓First, this voice which is uniquely elastic, which can purr, can sound sexy and coy, can wail and change registers faster than a speeding bullet, and can win you once and for all with its pure beauty will sound even better to you each time you listen to the recording. Camille seems to have left behind any uncertainties about what her voice can do, and the quality of her pipes seems now to ring forth almost effortlessly. There is no sense that she is trying to prove to anyone that she can sing; she can. Period. Bask, for example, in her beautiful reading of This World, a strong personal statement slightly reminiscent of the best work of Tom Prasado-Rao. Second, as a songwriter, her music seems to be deepening and maturing. She isn't reticent in any way about saying what matters to her, sharing her fears, reciting the triumphs small and large: I found love sitting across from me, I found love in the people on the streets, I found love in my family, I found love in the most important place. I found love in me. Further, Camille is mastering the art of the hook that doesn't beat you over the head, but greets you like a cherished friend each time you listen to a song, so the songs seem better and better with each listen. The third strength, then, is her guitar work. Her acoustic guitar, often quirky, always fascinating, drives most of the songs, creating a sizzling energy and tension. At times, the guitar like the voice becomes sweet and gentle, but in a rocker like the addictive Habit, (with its edgy recurring riff reminiscent of a 1980s Howard Jones song), Camille lays down a groove that clearly invites the talents of Paul Kimble, drummer Michael Cotta, bassist April Sather, and lead guitarist Dave Brewer to give their all to the realization of her musical ideas and instincts. Get this CD! Live with it! Memorize it! You'll agree: It will undoubtedly be one of the musical highlights of your 2006! [Bill Fisher, Victory Review Magazine]
