Some are calling Camille "the French Björk". She certainly has this certain regard, this certain way of approaching music. She loves to play with the sounds and the words. And this makes music so delicious to the ears. Each of her songs are unique in their own little way. She knows how to separate her music from the rest of the musical world.
In her last album "Le fil" (the thread), she played with the idea (no pun intended lol) of having the exact same note played in the background of all the album = the 'thread'. Though it's discreet, this "B" (the note) is constant throughout the 40-ish minutes of the album, linking somehow the different songs together. France discovered her with this album which made her in no time a renown artist.
This year, she offered us a new delightful opus "Music Hole". This one, like the previous one, gives a lot of importance to the voice, the body and the sounds they can make thus reducing the presence of more 'traditional' instruments (only a piano in the album). She's singing mostly in English in this album, which, I hope, will lead her to a great international career.
It's completely impossible to describe her musical style. All that has to be said is that it's eccentric, vocally impeccable and very entertaining.
Here are the songs "Gospel with no Lord"...
..."Money Note",...
And "Cats and Dogs
Those are juste quick glimpse of what the album has to offer. Music and lyrics both as important.
For each song, its universe. You should really try more of her songs. Her albums are pure bliss...
