Acclaimed, multi-award-nominated songstress Cam is set to delight fans anxious for new music as she previews her 2018 Arista Nashville/RCA Records sophomore album with the release of "Diane," the forthcoming collection's debut single, available now HERE.
Inspired by the storyline of Dolly Parton's classic "Jolene," the driving, tempo-rich track delivers a sonically refreshing tale of love and regret and commiseration. The song was co-written by Cam, Jeff Bhasker and Tyler Johnson, the team behind the most-downloaded song by a female country artist released since 2015-Cam's platinum-certified No. 1 smash, "Burning House" - which propelled Cam to her first Grammy, ACM, CMA, CMT and American Music Awards nominations.
About the song, Cam shares, " 'Diane' is my response to Dolly Parton's 'Jolene.' It's the apology so many spouses deserve, but never get. The other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife about an affair, respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she realized he was married. Because everyone should be able to decide their own path in life, based on the truth. Women especially should do this for each other, since our self-worth can still be so wrapped up in our partners. And in true country fashion, I've set the whole raw story to upbeat music, so you can dance while you process it all."
A Grammy winner as Producer of the Year, Bhasker (Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars) and multiple-Grammy nominee Johnson (Styles, Sheeran, Sam Smith) produced "Diane," in addition to co-writing the song with Cam. Bhasker and Johnson also produced Cam's widely acclaimed 2015 major-label debut, "Untamed."
As part of the excitement surrounding the single release, Cam will perform "Diane" and other songs as part of a 30-minute Facebook Livestream event at noon ET on Tuesday, Oct. 31, with the performance originating from an intimate music space in Sony Music Nashville's office in the Gulch area of downtown Nashville, near Music Row. Stream Cam's performance HERE.
Among other appearances in support of "Diane," California-native Cam is looking ahead to the launch of her "Best Coast Tour," headlining nine West Coast dates beginning Nov. 28. Having recently opened selected shows on Tim McGraw & Faith Hill's blockbuster "Soul2Soul Tour," and for international star Styles at his sold-out Ryman Auditorium show in Nashville, Cam is also set to wrap her opening slot on George Strait's 2017 residency tour at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with shows Dec. 8-9. For complete tour dates, visit www.camcountry.com.
Along with working on her upcoming album, Cam's busy 2017 included co-writing the song "Palace" with Smith and Johnson on Smith's forthcoming album, "The Thrill of It All," releasing Nov. 3. She also contributed background vocals and electric guitar to the track.
