Most artists spent lockdown digging deep into their discomfort, their isolation, their loneliness and wrote intimate, thoughtful albums that taught us all how to make peace with ourselves. Then they got those albums out as soon as they could. For Cam, All Things Light, has been five years in the making – and that distance from the muffled comforts of lockdown gives this album some extra dimensions.
Cam is not just asking us to befriend the thoughts we are usually too busy to keep at bay: she asks us to weigh what we do with them now that “back to normal” has robbed us of our right to grieve this awful period in our collective history. What’s more, Cam had to navigate new motherhood during isolation – her search for solid ground is the basis of this album.
