CAMILLE CAMILLE - Announces new album 'Enchanted Sea' out May 29th via Labelman - Shares new single "J'ai rêvé"

Camille Camille is the musical project of Belgian singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist Camille Willemart. Known for her intimate songwriting and delicate, atmospheric sound, Camille Camille creates music that lives in the space between vulnerability and quiet strength. Camille Camille's new album Enchanted Sea is set for release May 29th via Labelman & new single "J'ai rêvé" is online now. “J’ai Rêvé” is the first single Camille Camille releases in her mother tongue, French. Like any good sailor’s ballad, it captures the longing for a distant lover and the hope that love can prevail across time and space.  On the track Camille said "To be honest, I had to dive into my voice memos to find the first drafts of J’ai Rêvé and remember when and where it came to be. I was navigating a long-distance relationship. Life — and pretty much everything — felt so uncertain. The only thing I could hold on to was hope and trust that life would do its thing and bring us together again somewhere, someday. After performing the song with just my guitar for a few years, I recorded the first demo at home in Ghent in 2024, where the song took a new turn. I started hearing marching band–like drums and flutes, as if they were played by angels descending straight from heaven, telling me that everything would be okay. With the help of my acolyte Felix Baele (bass/charango), my friend Orlan Ghekiere (drums), and the flute kid inside me, J’ai Rêvé — originally a sad sailor’s ballad — simultaneously became a joyful hymn to love and hope."   For the video, Camille Camille collaborated with Madrid-based photographer and visual artist Elisa Soto. After years of being inspired by each other’s work, the pair finally met to bring their art together. “Working with Elisa had been a dream of mine for a long time. Letting her bring her visual poetry to J’ai Rêvé felt like a natural and obvious choice. Her dreamlike work and strong sensibility for colour have a rare authenticity, and I feel so blessed to share this collaboration with the world.”   "J'ai rêvé" on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWbkR4oGsrY "J'ai rêvé" on other streaming services:: https://lab-music.lnk.to/Jaireve   Influenced by the folk tradition, her work feels deeply personal, often exploring themes of observation, connection, inner reflection and the natural world. Drawing comparisons to artists such as Josephine Foster and Robbie Basho, her songs are built around gentle guitar picking arrangements, subtle melodies, and a distinctive, enchanting voice.   The record is a voyage, a collection of songs as personal as they come. They capture the joys and pain, the beauty and transformation, inspired by my very own journey navigating life as a woman in the second half of her twenties. Exploring the meaning and challenges of adulthood, the tension between freedom and responsibility, the vastness and immensity of nature, and the infinite yet fragile dimensions of love.   Blending intimate storytelling with a more cinematic sound, Enchanted Sea also marks an artistic expansion, "I wanted to bring to life the full sonic landscape I long envisioned and reconnected with old friends — the flute and piano — along the way."   On the creation of the album, Camille said "Most of the tracks were recorded and produced at home, but I couldn’t have done it without the help of Michiel Renson, with whom I completed the mission at his home studio. I was also joined by friends and collaborators: the great Felix Baele (bass, charango, and backing vocals) and the talented brothers Orlan (drums) and Abel Ghekiere (clarinet, harmonium, and guitar). The recording process unfolded over time and places, giving each track its own sound and colour, resulting in an eclectic collection of songs woven together like a carefully crafted patchwork blanket."   Enchanted Sea follows on from her debut Could You Lend Me Your Eyes in 2021, which established her as a promising voice in the Belgian music scene. The album was praised for its understated beauty and contemplative tone, as well as for Camille’s ability to weave together hope and melancholy. Following the album’s release, she joined King Hannah, Widowspeak, and Kurt Vile on tour across Europe and the UK, bringing her intimate music to international audiences. She later collaborated with long-time friend Sam De Nef on the EP Waving, released in 2023.
