Camille Harrison - When It Comes To Love (2016)

If you love good stories, hypnotizing sounds, and funky grooves, turn on and dig in to the rootsy, soulful music release by singer/songwriter, Camille Harrison. This 10 song combination of genres set in a stellar production with exceptional musicianship provides the perfect backdrop for Camille’s voice to soar… telling stories, transcending time, reaching around the globe… to share the messages we all have in common “When it Comes to Love.”

Camille has a powerful voice with an impressive range that effortlessly slides into a tender falsetto, but she never flaunts it. Instead she stays true to the story, and sings with tasteful subtle dynamics. Case in point is the opening track “Mercy,” which starts off easy over a slinky groove, then explodes into a huge chorus with mercurial vocals and harmonies.

From tender romantic ballads “Can't Think of No Other Man,” to a gambler on-the-run “Last Thing On Your List,” to an uplifting groove-anthem on the timely topic of people setting aside their differences to create a better world “We Are All the Same,” every song is a compelling story with a fresh melody and finely crafted lyrics, themes that most will find something they can relate to when it comes to love.

Camille also understands the magic of approaching a song from an unexpected point of view, as in the track “My Little Moses.” It tells the poignant story of Moses from the perspective of a young mother who places her son for adoption so that he has the chance for a better life.

From the haunting beauty of “Lone Wolf” with its’ masterful acoustic guitar work and ethereal harmonics, to the spiritual powerhouse-anthem “Same Language” with its’ Native American chant, this music is a strong piece of work. “I had written and recorded some of the songs on piano,” she says, “we decided to try taking the record production in an acoustic guitar driven direction, and we liked it.”

It’s refreshing in its’ refusal to conform, brave in its’ honesty and emotion, and exceptional in its’ execution. You’ll find yourself listening time and again for each nuance whether it’s the songs, the stories, the vocals, the musicians. So enJOY everything… When it Comes to Love by Camille Harrison.
