Cameron Bloomfield unveils new single âWantedâ and sophomore EP âThe Morning Afterâ
London-based singer-songwriter Cameron Bloomfield has unveiled the double release of new single âWantedâ and new EP âThe Morning Afterâ, out now via Manchild Creations. An introspective, soul-searching release, âThe Morning Afterâ is underpinned by self-reflection, with Bloomfield reaching deep into his emotions. It is the official follow up to his debut EP âThe Night Beforeâ released in 2017 which saw him garner support from notable titles like Clash, Spindle and 1883 Magazine. A haunting, heartfelt snippet, opener âIntroâ sets the tone for the rest of the EP. A downbeat slice of funk/soul follows on lead single âAnother Manâs Womanâ which received the honour of a world premiere from the legendary Elton John on his âRocket Hourâ radio show. Marking the second time heâs been championed by the industry veteran, following his support of the pre-EP single âLazarusâ. https://youtu.be/riX3WQM77c0 Cameron continues to delve deeper into this terrain with âWithout Youâ. âSo Simpleâ, combines Bloomfieldâs signature velvet vocals with percussive elements and smooth guitar riffs. Closing things out, the aptly named âTequilaâ is an ode to the devilâs liquor. ââThe Morning Afterâ is coming back to consciousness, feeling whatâs going on now, and putting together the pieces of whatâs left from The Night Before,â Bloomfield explains. âItâs a particularly visual project for me, one that I have put a lot of myself into, and dealt with a lot of demons through the making.â He continues: âItâs almost a case study of my relationship with relationships up to this point. Whether theyâre my relationships with women, with music, with partying, with life in general my default position has been to dive in head first and see what happens. I still donât disagree with this as a mentality but âThe Morning Afterâ is checking myself for a second, realising the road and working out how to go on.â A polished, pop and soul-infused track,latest single âWantedâ sees Bloomfield craft an infectiously upbeat and motivational vibe. Inspired by an epiphany Cameron came to after experiencing some personal turmoil, the song is an inspirational anthem about harnessing the power we have to change the situations we find ourselves in. Heexplains: âThe song came at a time when I was realising a lot about myself and my situations. It was a real turning point in my perspective - mainly to stop looking everywhere else to explain why things werenât working out and take a bit of responsibility. I wanted to create something sonically that had a bittersweet feeling, both uplifting and reminiscent, grateful and regretful in equal measureâ Bloomfield will perform live at East London venue The Old Blue Last for a headline show on 25th November. The performance comes from having recently played an intimate set at MTVâs PUSH Live alongside Joy Crookes and Sody at Tape London. A finely crafted selection of tracks, âThe Morning Afterâ is evidence of an artist who has deftly tapped into his emotional psyche. Read the full article
