Cam Turns Some Dark Days Into ‘All Things Light’ On New Project Due In July

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Cam will release her latest album, All Things Light, on July 18 via RCA Records.

The news follows the release of Cam’s latest single “Alchemy” last month and comes with the second single from the project and album opener, “Turns Out That I Am God,” featuring a spellbinding arrangement of stacked vocals and stark guitar tones.

“There’s an Alan Watts talk where he speaks about how we’re all God, we’ve just forgotten,” says Cam. “I wanted this song to express that idea humbly, asking how we might live our lives if we acknowledged that we are all God together.”

All Things Light arrives following a time when Cam was dealing with the intense isolation of becoming a mother in the early days of the pandemic, and started writing songs as a means of finding solace. She soon unlocked an entirely new level of depth in her lyrics, and as her daughter Lucy grew older and began asking questions about life and death, Cam felt called to dig even deeper and create a body of work embedded with insights for Lucy to carry with her through the years.

The project was produced by her longtime producer Tyler Johnson as well as a lineup of co-producers and contributors including Michael Uzowuru, Ethan Gruska, Jeff Bhasker, Aldae, Starrah, Ilsey Juber, Nick Lobel, Ian Fitchuk, Anders Mouridsen and Simon Maartensson. With its convergence of country, folk, left-field pop and more, the album emerged from the same creative wellspring that gave rise to Cam’s contributions to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, which earned Cam an Album of the Year Grammy for her songwriting.
