Indie Folk artist, Cam Wilson effortlessly blends reflection, personal growth, dreamy melodicism and authentic emotion in his latest indie-folk single, “Best of It”, to craft something truly exquisite against New Zealand’s breath-taking setting. This long-awaited release serves as an irresistibly tantalising preview to his upcoming EP “The Time”. Although Cam hails from New Zealand himself, his music resonates globally through conveying raw emotions in every note – creating something truly exquisite against this breath-taking country backdrop.
Cam’s guitar sets the song in motion with its subtle yet distinctive allure, conjuring images of Tuscany mountain air while relaxing in his cabin there and reflecting upon time passing. Cam’s masterful performance creates a universe where ambient sounds such as distant thunderstorms and vine rustlings seamlessly blend with melody creating an engaging journey note by note.
Cam’s soothing vocals take listeners on an incredible storytelling journey, supported by gentle percussion that provides its steady heartbeat. The song born in Tuscany and raised in London before sharing globally through New Zealand roots – his musical narrative effortlessly and gracefully unfolds before them all.
The upcoming EP, “The Time” encompasses its theme perfectly–that of finding positivity within life’s challenges. This song explores feelings associated with personal expectations, bittersweet nostalgia and the inevitable transition from childhood to maturity. Though melancholic tones prevail within this track there remains an undeniable sense of optimism and positivity radiating outward from its centre.
“The Time EP” promises to take listeners on an intimate experience as it chronicles Cam’s growth. It is a tribute to the universal human feelings and experiences—uncertainty that even wisdom cannot fully erase. In addition, “Best of It” uses music to reassure listeners that they are not alone on their unique travels, providing a comforting embrace.
