Cinnamon Girl AKA Camilla Roholm released her delightful debut offering ‘Friends’ recently, it certainly perked up our day a gloiriously euphoric disco pop joint that’s multi coloured synth stomps, slinky funk basseline/guitar lick marriage and Camilla’s sassy soulful vocals take it into a different flamboyant stratosphere to her tiresome contemporaries(La Roux, Little Boots et al)! Grace Jones, Cyndi Lauper and early Madonna are floating around in the background here, while her melodic imagination reminds one of the young Kelis, but really ‘Friends’ just sounds so vibrant and fresh that comparisons are uttlerly futile, this summer grab your hair brush and get down to your local disco to dance and sing along to this one!
Originally from Denmark, Camilla moved to London to study performance at the back end of her teens. She writes, records and produces all her own material – ‘Friends’ is the first snippet of clearly great things to come!
The track is available for free download from bandcamp –
