So it was the time for the French Singer « Camille ». What do I know about her? not much I have to say. For me, she’s from the generation of new « French singer who have lyrics that are nice, and are never, willingly or not, to have 2 or more instruments in their tracks ». Guess after the real nice demonstration I was going to experience that I was far away from that. Should have listen to one of my ex who was only talking about her a while ago. Camille is now at is, I think, 3rd record, and we can see than on stage, she do more than the job.
Ok, I was wrong, damn it, I just had a cliché, I was fed up of those French « Yes, I’ve lived things, let me just say -not sing, say- it behind a piano or guitar ». I was heavily wrong. Camille is the kind of Artists that are true to themselves. Singing in French (not like those guys of Empyr who are actually even worse in English than anything at all, trust me). She’s here, on stage, surrounded by her crew. And it’s just the beginning. This little kinda Orange hooded phenomenon is singin, well, and followed by the people on stage that are mainly following her on the track without instruments. Rythm, rythm is everything. In that case. a good bass will just be the 2 guys jumping (in sync of course) on a big box. Doing that for a whole track. I’m honestly kinda impressed.

 

Then it just starts to anoy me. What the hell are all those Almost 20ish kids here for. Most of them are drinking, most of them are smoking illegal stuff. WTF? Do we need to get high or drunk to death to be into a concert? C’mon. This is just bull****. Maybe the fact that I actually never smoke didn’t really help me getting pissed off to those people. but god damn it. I’m treated like a criminal bc i’m trying to come inside and make nice photos, what the hell with those guys. Maybe the rain didn’t helped, but I just really don’t get it. I just don’t see how, being in an other state will help understanding Camille’s Music. Maybe Tomorrow, when we’ll see « The Mars Volta », who was more… « Noise » than « Music », but not here.. anyway.. just not my kind of stuff I’d guess…

Back to the artist. There’s no big set on stage, no big light show, no, just half a dozen of people, that get’s the attention of the whole 7 or 8 thousands-ish crowd just by miraculous rythm and communicative happiness. The good thing about creating the rythm just by claping his hands/chest/jumping is that it’s astonishingly efficient. Everyone stopped and just looked at this. This one and only moment where a true artist reveals herself on stage. A moment where we wish we actually did knew more about the songs to really understands how they are sung.

I should have listen to this ex and try to look more into the records.. you know.. sometimes… But well… now the weather is alright (not nice, jus.. alright….), but well, my shoes are still kinda like a pound of mud with some sands and wet parts… ewww…. making « sploch sploch » at every steps.. argggg….

 

 

 Everything is running really smoothly, nice mood, nice people, nice crowd cheering and having a heck lot of fun… That’s one of the best moments of the day. Not as strong as the Mollys cause… it’s the Mollys, but nonetheless. Camille is coming back to Brussels at the end of the year. I’ll definitely go and see her in a more « private/smaller » place

 

 One last song, the time for her to change herself with a cute new dress… Starting singing… and then turning around to with her chorists and band.. and then. The crowd shouted. Her cute body was shown to the assistance, making everyone react ing (see the header). Then it was time to go back home, an hour drive. Tomorrow, work, but on the day after that, I’ll be back, don’t worry ^^ And Camille, I’ll definitely come back and cya on the 4th of December in Brussels ♪ « Lève toi c’est décidé/ Laisse-moi te remplacer/ Je vais prendre ta douleur/ Doucement sans faire de bruit/ Comme on réveille la pluie/ Je vais prendre ta douleur » ♪
