Today,
GRAMMY-nominated Country singer/songwriter CAM released a cover of Christine and the Queens’ “La Marcheuse,” via RCA Records. For her rendition, CAM stripped
down the electronics-heavy song to a few key instruments and put her soft,
stunning vocals at the forefront. The song also features CAM singing entirely
in French for the first time. “La
Marcheuse” is available on all DSP’s now HERE.
“I’ve
been in awe of Christine and the Queens – the art and theater of what Chris is
doing right now pushes people to reflect on vulnerability and strength, and the
gender associations that color those concepts for us. Which resonates deeply
with me, and feels within arms reach of the darkness and light I’ve been
exploring to create my upcoming album,” says CAM. “This will be my first time
playing my own music in Paris – last time I performed there was in
stained-glass chapels and stone-walled cathedrals with a children’s choir when
I was 13. With every visit since, the city of Paris manages to etch a new
stripe of wonder across my mind. To be playing my own show in that city and
participate in such a grand cultural tradition of art … honestly it only
feels right that I give an offering before I get there.”
The
track was recorded at Tyler Johnson’s Cave Studio in Nashville, TN with band
members Walle Wahlgren (drums/percussion), Simon Mårtensson (banjo, guitar and
piano) and Alex Balderston (synth bass). It was produced, engineered and mixed
by Jokke Pettersson and mastered by Dale Becker.
Later
this month, CAM will embark on her European “Oh, The Places We’ll Go!” Tour. The tour will kick off on August 31st in Millport, UK and will visit 10
cities across Europe before wrapping up in Berlin, Germany on September 14th.
