The Precipice
The Precipice follows from my previous works, Behind the Facade and Rise. This work finds itself at the place in which the world now collectively holds its breath as we try to overcome the existential threats currently facing humanity. However, the threats of climate change and nuclear war have a common underlying cause: rising inequality.

Blossoming again - Single release
Blossoming again is a story about reflecting on the status quo and challenging it. Letting go of this notion of a perfection, always striving to keep up, this pressure often leads to escapism. But what if we refuse to conform to these rigid stereotypes, what if different isn’t defective and what if success cannot be reduced to one simple formula. Like in the music industry that has somehow constructed this formula that means music belongs only to youth. How ridiculous really, I mean our stories surpass youth so then must music as a storytelling tool.

…Because I was born a girl IWD 2021 Music Video
Doors were closed, ceilings felt heavy, questions were not asked, opportunities were lost – a million battles have been fought because I was born a girl – ‘…Because I Was Born A Girl’ This lyrical extract from Camille Delaquise’s anthemic single ‘…Because I Was Born A Girl’ from her 2020 debut EP Living In A World Of Silence, unfortunately represents a shared gender experience and has resonated with females across generations who too have suffered injustice on the equality scale for too long.

Scenestr Interview - Camille Delaquise
Angelic Celtic folk, alternative chamber music, and indie pop with strong hints of medieval hues anchor The Last Folk Singer in a folk-soundscape that twinkles and bursts forth with an almost fairytale charm. At other junctures, haunting pianos and fierce vocals carry ‘Living In A World Of Silence’ into dark, foreboding territory that is strangely alluring.

…Because I was born a girl – Release
It is the challenging of a system that limits human potential and holds us all captive to a past system that is long overdue for change. I view the dismantling of this system as having as many benefits for men as women for that should be the point of equality. What this song is about then is bringing into the general consciousness the fact that our societies are still predominately organised within the *realm of a patriarchal system of doing things.
