About

At a time when she desperately needed a guiding light in the dark, Cam lit her own way with a wild journey inward. While dealing with the intense isolation of becoming a mother in the early days of the pandemic, the Nashville-based artist started writing songs as a means of finding solace, and soon unlocked an entirely new level of depth in her lyrics. As her daughter Lucy grew older and began asking questions about life and death, Cam felt called to dig even deeper and create a body of work embedded with insights for Lucy to carry with her through the years. Her third LP and first new music since The Otherside (a 2020 release featuring songwriting from Harry Styles, Sam Smith, and Avicii), Cam’s new album All Things Light arrives as a truly revelatory offering and her most visionary work to date.

Rooted in the enchanting vocal work shown on Cam’s 3X platinum, Grammy-nominated smash “Burning House,” All Things Light finds Cam working with her longtime producer Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé) as well as an elite lineup of co-producers and contributors, including Michael Uzowuru (Frank Ocean, SZA), Ethan Gruska (boygenius, Phoebe Bridgers, Remi Wolf), and Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Rihanna, Bruno Mars). With its gorgeous convergence of country, folk, left-field pop, and more, the album emerged from the same creative wellspring that gave rise to Cam’s contributions to Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER (a 2024 effort that earned Cam an ‘Album of the Year’ Grammy for her songwriting work).

Dedicated to Lucy (whose name is derived from the Latin word for “light”), All Things Light sources its spiritual cosmology from what Cam refers to as a “patchwork of beliefs”—an element informed by life-altering experiences like spending time traveling alone through Nepal and Egypt in her early 20s. In creating the LP’s storybook-like album art, she enlisted a group of artists to assemble a purposely shambolic tapestry that visually represents that patchwork, in addition to working with Szilveszter Mako (a Milan-based photographer/art director who’s also shot the likes of Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, and Gwendoline Christie). With its graceful entangling of catharsis, contemplation, and occasional epiphany, All Things Light ultimately delivers the kind of soul-baring songs we return to again and again, endlessly providing clarity and sustenance and ecstatic peace of mind.
