Camille Camille is the musical project of Belgian singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist Camille Willemart. Known for her intimate songwriting and delicate, atmospheric sound, Camille Camille creates music that lives in the space between vulnerability and quiet strength. Camille Camille’s new album Enchanted Sea is set for release May 29th via Labelman & new single “J’ai rêvé” is online now.
“J’ai Rêvé” is the first single Camille Camille releases in her mother tongue, French. Like any good sailor’s ballad, it captures the longing for a distant lover and the hope that love can prevail across time and space.
On the track Camille said “To be honest, I had to dive into my voice memos to find the first drafts of J’ai Rêvé and remember when and where it came to be. I was navigating a long-distance relationship. Life — and pretty much everything — felt so uncertain. The only thing I could hold on to was hope and trust that life would do its thing and bring us together again somewhere, someday.
After performing the song with just my guitar for a few years, I recorded the first demo at home in Ghent in 2024, where the song took a new turn. I started hearing marching band–like drums and flutes, as if they were played by angels descending straight from heaven, telling me that everything would be okay. With the help of my acolyte Felix Baele (bass/charango), my friend Orlan Ghekiere (drums), and the flute kid inside me, J’ai Rêvé — originally a sad sailor’s ballad — simultaneously became a joyful hymn to love and hope.”
For the video, Camille Camille collaborated with Madrid-based photographer and visual artist Elisa Soto. After years of being inspired by each other’s work, the pair finally met to bring their art together.
“Working with Elisa had been a dream of mine for a long time. Letting her bring her visual poetry to J’ai Rêvé felt like a natural and obvious choice. Her dreamlike work and strong sensibility for colour have a rare authenticity, and I feel so blessed to share this collaboration with the world.”
