London-based singer-songwriter Cameron Bloomfield has unveiled the double release of new single 'Wanted' and new EP 'The Morning After', out now via Manchild Creations.
An introspective, soul-searching release, 'The
Morning After' is underpinned by self-reflection, with
Bloomfield reaching deep into his emotions. It is the official follow up to his debut EP 'The Night Before' released in 2017 which saw him garner support from notable titles like Clash, Spindle and 1883 Magazine.
A haunting, heartfelt snippet, opener 'Intro' sets the tone for the rest of the EP. A downbeat slice of funk/soul follows on lead single 'Another Man's Woman' which received the honour of a world premiere from the legendary
Elton John on his 'Rocket Hour' radio show. Marking the second time he's been championed by the industry veteran, following his support of the pre-EP single 'Lazarus'.
Cameron continues to delve deeper into this terrain with 'Without You'. 'So Simple', combines Bloomfield's signature velvet vocals with percussive elements and smooth guitar riffs. Closing things out, the aptly named 'Tequila' is an ode to the devil's liquor.
"'The
Morning After' is coming back to consciousness, feeling what's going on now, and putting together the pieces of what's left from The Night Before,"
Bloomfield explains. "It's 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."
He continues: "It's almost a case study of my relationship with relationships up to this point. Whether they're 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 don't disagree with this as a mentality but 'The
Morning After' is checking myself for a second, realising the road and working out how to go on."
A polished, pop and soul-infused track, latest single 'Wanted' 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.
He explains: "The 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 weren't 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 measure"
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 MTV's PUSH Live alongside
Joy Crookes and Sody at Tape London.
A finely crafted selection of tracks, 'The
Morning After' is evidence of an artist who has deftly tapped into his emotional psyche.
