The very bright Camille released her second album Le Fil this year, very different from her sunny debut Le Sac des Filles. This time she explored music made by the human voice, and upright bass. If you're thinking of Björk's Medulla right now - Camille is way more listenable. First there's her girly voice; powerful, exciting, happy. But sometimes filled with tristesse. Then there is the music: the album starts with a bourdon, one note, that keeps on going through all songs. It refers to Steve Reich, and Laurie Anderson. Sometimes Camille uses her voice to beatbox, sometimes a little kid who likes to make funny noises. Furthermore, she gets help from hiphopproducer MaJiKer and elastic guitarplayer Sebastien Martel - not use to pigeonhole this fille. Ta douleur (see her site for the great video, also check the fan-site for live-performances) is upbeat, Pour que l'amour me quitte (posted here) is an example of that tristesse. Brilliant album. More Camille? She's also part of the fantastic coverband Nouvelle Vague, who reinterpret new wave- and punk-classics in a bossanova-style. For instance Guns of Brixton by The Clash.
Even more Camille? This is Les Ex, from her debut-album Le Sac des Filles.
