Camille Dalmais

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camille Dalmais, who goes by the stage name Camille (born in 1978 in Paris) is a French singer.

In 2002 she released her first album Le sac des filles. She then began working on Nouvelle Vague, a project by Marc Collin which incorporates new wave and bossa nova music. The name in itself is a pun, since Nouvelle Vague, Bossa Nova and New Wave all mean the same thing. In 2005 she released the album Le fil, which was produced in collaboration with English producer MaJiKer. This album incorporated an avant-garde concept - a string, or thread ("le fil"), which was a drone that persisted throughout the entire course of the album. All of the songs in this album are based on the exploration of the voice, with only a double bass or double bass and keyboard as accompanying instruments. Le fil quickly became a gold album. The Song "Pâle Septembre" seems to be a reference to the attacks on the World Trade Center of September 11, 2001. The lines "Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe de la tour? Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe des cieux? Mais qui est cet homme qui tombe amoureux?" suggest guilt accompanying love in a time of mourning.
