134: Cam

from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Cam

Send us Fan Mail On Episode 134, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Cam, who released the exceptional, genre-transcending The Otherside this past Friday (Oct 30). Cam has long been one of my favorite artists due to her refreshing pop sensibilities, lyrical (and vocal) nuance, and the emotional weight that much of her songwriting catalog carries. The Otherside sees Cam further blossom as a storyteller, performer, and country pop star. Strong anthemic singles like the love-drunk synth swaying "Till There's Nothing Left," the bubbly feelgood "Classic," and soaring instant classic "Diane" reel even the most cavalier of listeners. They're dynamic earworms that highlight different strengths within the Cam toolbox. Still, the backbone of The Otherside is the collection of keen ballads ("Happier For You," "Forgetting You"), heartwarmers such as "Like A Movie", and the reassurances and redemption found in the likes of "Changes" and "Girl Like Me." During this interview, we talk about writing with the likes of Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose, Sam Smith, and Tim Bergling (Avicii), creating mood boards, navigating Nashville and the music industry, the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance, and of course, the ins and outs of her wonderful new album, The Otherside. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by The Blue Light Live and Hot Damn Coffee.
