The award-winning French singer/strange-sound-maker is back! At last! Two new songs from her forthcoming 'Music Hole' album are now available on her website. To prepare you for an eventual Irish concert (you hope), watch her performing her biggest hit a capella. Shy and quiet she isn't.

CamilleAt last, new material from one of our favourite French artists.

Camille (right) has just released her new single, 'Gospel With No Lord'. It's the first track to be taken from her new album, the wonderfully-titled 'Music Hole', which is set for release on 7 April. Another song from the album, 'Money Note', is available from her website.

'Music Hole' is the tardy follow-up to Camille's 2005 album 'Le Fil', winner of that year's Prix Constantin and (no less prestigious) French Letter's Best French Music Of 2005.

There's no news yet of any upcoming Irish shows by the French singer/voice artist, who previously performed in Dublin as part of post-modern bossanova punks Nouvelle Vague. If you fancy the trek to London, she's playing at Koko on 14 May, with dates in Brussels, Hamburg and Paris thereafter.

No video yet for either new track. However, to give you an idea of the Camille live experience, here she is performing her hit 'Ta Douleur' on French television. How would you describe THIS?

Re: Camille: new tracks

yeah she's totally crazy, but that's why i like her... i'll be very impressed to meet her though, i remember an interview on canal plus where she was answering only by making strange and different noises... weird!

Re: Camille: new tracks

I remember her accepting her Victoire de la Musique prize with a long wailing sound.... but she's just as mad when she speaks: she accepted her Prix Constantin with the words 'J'ai envie de faire pipi' (I want to pee').
