More from Camille Benatre

A few weeks back we covered the first single from Camille Benatre‘s Dommage LP, out in March via Hidden Bay Records. There’s another tune floating about today, and it feels like the most subtle bit of French pop to have you creating your own tik tok video as you dance about your bedroom. Honestly, it reminds me of the stuff Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience) was creating on his solo stuff, danceable yet adhering to a bit of folk stylings. Benatre’s voice will always find a nice place to nestle in your ear canal too, even if, like me, you’re completely in adequate at understanding French.

Last Week’s Jams (1.2 – 1.5)

We swept back into the New Year with a bunch of tunes last week, though technically we were only working 4 days, so not knee deep in jams as we expect to be here for the next few months. New music from David Nance and Ducks Ltd ruled, but there were some left-field gems lurking like My Best Unbeaten Brother and Camille Benatre, to name a few. I keep coming back to the Seasonal Falls and Red Sleeping Beauty tunes too. Not a bunch, but a damn fine collection of rock n’ roll, even including Austin’s Thanks Light. Stream some hits below.

New Music from Camille Benatre

I was checking in on one of my favorite French labels, Hidden Bay, seeing what they had coming out, as I knew there were a few releases in their 2024 like Petit Bureau and Radical Kitten, but I had no idea about this stunning Camille Benatre! I have no idea what the lyrics are detailing, but the natural playfulness and joy of this single is absolutely undeniable. You can fee the rolling drums and guitar lines tossing and tumbling you along with the natural groove. Benatre’s voice is subdued and charming, only furthered by absolute failure to understand French. Whether you be a Francophile or just a lover of great pop, keep an eye out for Dommage, as it already sounds like a winner; drops in March!

French Pop from Camille Benatre

French label Hidden Bay Records is a solid go to for talent that might go overlooked by the mainstream indie media…you know, like Big Baby and Sustains, to name but a few of my faves. Today I just wanted to hip you onto Camille Benatre, who lives in the same town as the label’s home base. I think at first, I got wrapped up in Camille’s voice; it had this majestic melody that seemed so effortless, so pure. As I immersed myself in that melody, the song’s natural buoyancy crept into my soul, suddenly leaving my toes tapping atop my table as I write this. Like I said, a go to for pure talent! They’ll release Apres le Soir this Friday in collaboration wit Les Disques Woody.
