Product Description
Songlines magazine, June 2008 issue (#52)
French singer Camille Dalmais is the most exciting new talent on the continent. A lone voice amid a chorus of chanteuses, as much of a performance artist as a vocalist, Camille pushes boundaries while still managing to write catchy, melodic pop. Quirky, bolshy and gifted - think a more mellifluous Björk - she scooped the French equivalent of the Mercury Music Prize and won a BBC Award for World Music for her last album, Le Fil (The Thread). It was largely sung in French, albeit a French supplemented by idiosyncratic groans, whoops, screeches and other aural agitations.
A sold-out UK tour proved Camille an adventurous, self-aware and witty live performer, using her alternately sweet and sour voice as an instrument. This third studio album is the flower of over 200 shows, a confident and joyful record sung almost entirely in English, laying bare Camille's quite visionary musicality. With co-producer MaJiKer (a `body-piano-machine', according to his Myspace page), Camille mixes chanson-style stories with body percussion, minimalist trance techno, singing that swerves from sub-bass to high-pitched and her street-smart humour that occasionally veers on the smug. Brazilian band Barbatuques, beatboxer Sly Johnson and the piano-whacking Jamie Cullum help her craft an album that takes risk after risk yet, remarkably, never fails. From the elastic, operatic `Kfir' and the emotionally extreme `Canards Sauvages' (which features breathy rhythms, watery sound effects, squeaky cuica drums and ecstatic choirs) to the rocking single `Gospel with No Lord', Music Hole is a true work of art by a genuine artist.

Album Description
Camille's third studio album 'Music Hole' shows a key turn in her career: it is mostly sung in English. "In 'Music Hole', I tried to mix the story-telling, "chansons" feel from musicals with something more tribal: body percussions, minimalist trance, sub bass and throat singing" says Camille.
'Music Hole' is co-produced by Camille and MaJiKer. It features collaborations with the body percussion masters from the Brazilian band Barbatuques, Jamie Cullum on piano percussions and beatbox by Sly Johnson.
