New single “Classic” available now
Grammy-nominated songstress Cam has officially announced the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album The Otherside, due October 30th via Triple Tigers/RCA Records. The album was written over the last three years in LA, Nashville, and NYC with collaborators Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Sam Smith) and Grammy winner Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Bruno Mars), who she calls her fellow “tinkerers.”
As a pre-release treat, she also delights fans with her captivating and *classic* new single, aptly-titled “Classic,” available now. Co-written and produced with Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, St Vincent, The Chicks), “Classic” is about a relationship that transcends time and outlasts trends. “Ain’t nothin new I’m waitin for,” Cam sings, “cause they don’t make em like this anymore.” Full of warm and familiar references “like a bench in the front seat / Like a big yellow Taxi / Like your best friend’s mixtape / A big limo and a prom date” to remind us how fun true love can be.
“Jack and I caught something in the air that day and ran with it,” Cam says. “The track is so much fun. Jangling guitars, claps, it feels like when a group of familiar people get back together over the holidays, clanking around after dinner with too much wine, and amidst the chatter and laughter and closeness they are really telling each other, deep down, just how much they love each other.”
Earlier this year, Cam made her triumphant return with the release of “Till There’s Nothing Left,” performing the song on both The TODAY Show and Late Night with Seth Meyers. Following the track’s success, she also dropped the stunning “Redwood Tree” with a live performance on Good Morning America.
Prolific and adored, Cam has had a tremendous start in the industry. She took the world of country music by storm with her 2015 critically acclaimed full-length debut, Untamed. The record not only bowed in the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200 and registered at No. 2 on the Top Country Albums Chart, but it also yielded her double-platinum GRAMMY, CMA and ACM-nominated smash single, “Burning House,” which remains the best-selling country song by a female solo artist since its release in 2015.
Since then, Cam has continued to thrive as both a songwriter and musician. She lent her writing voice to Miley Cyrus’ 2015 album, Bangerz, co-wrote “Palace” with Sam Smith for his 2017 album, The Thrill of It All (the song also became the soundtrack for an exquisite Apple commercial), and teamed up with Diplo for the genre-bending Thomas Wesley debut, “So Long.” She has consistently sold-out shows across the globe, cementing her status as an international powerhouse on stage. She performed alongside Sam Smith for four sold out shows at the O2 Arena in London and joined him on his 2018 North American tour, opened for Harry Styles at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, delivered standout festivals sets including the coveted sunset slot at Stagecoach in 2019, headlined top venues across Europe and Australia, and performed a “game-changing” (Rolling Stone) debut-headline gig at The Ryman Auditorium.
By taking risks and standing up for herself, Cam has continued to hustle and pave her own way. She took her time perfecting the upcoming project, strengthened her voice and is now ready to re-introduce herself to the world.
