Camille Schmidt transformed from their chrysalis with their first EP, "Good Person." In this six-track exploration of self-reflection, openness, and lyrical narration, Camille Schmidt delivers a powerful experience. At first glance, Good Person hits hard: it offers a nearly unfiltered glimpse into Schmidt's thoughts, where raw truth is nearly expected and emotions are calmed by music.
"Good Person," lasting just over sixteen minutes, is brief yet profoundly impactful. It is a journey of understanding oneself and relating to others. Grounded in folk but guided by the indie spirit, the music presents a revitalizing blend of honest lyrics and softly evocative instrumentation. Every song resembles a diary entry, crafted with the honesty that transforms folk music into a sanctuary for both expression and understanding.
"Your Game" stands out as a significant track, a song filled with subtle strength. It weaves a tale of unspoken struggle and emotional equilibrium. You can also play "Bumblebee Drinks Lavender," the album that broadens Schmidt's musical palette while maintaining the straightforward essence of their minimal elements. Its fleeting imagery and tender melodies, nearly dream-like, represent the joyful and sorrowful aspects of a Schmidt who transforms ordinary moments into deep reflections. Her voice, gentle but unwavering, is the allure that draws you in throughout the entirety of the EP.
"Good Person" represents a pledge to artistic sincerity, a courageous yet personal onset to an artist who creates with her emotions fully exposed. Camille Schmidt has arrived, bringing a fresh voice to cherish in folk music
