Camille K became a star overnight when her original song “still in love” captured the hearts of the audience and judges alike on America’s got talent 2022. This June,
Camille returns from a year-long hiatus with her latest original single, “Be my Boo”.
The young Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter immediately impresses with her light and playful delivery, replicating that charm that made her so loved worldwide. There’s that sense of familiarity with hints of early 2000s bubblegum pop, but it’s still fresh and fun with a gen Z twist.
Feel like I could cross the ocean
On nothing but a prayer and emotions
Baby, it’s a little scary to have
How does anyone compare?
Right from the first verse Camille captures that giddy rush of new affection and infatuation with ease. The writing here is really clever because it captures that universal feeling of youthful love, but without any hints of naivety. It’s clear this is an artist who knows her voice, both sonically and emotionally.
Didn’t even throw it you’re the one to catch my heart,
Try not to show it but I swear it gets so hard
Got a question for you,
Do you wanna be wanna be wanna be my boo?
The chorus is where this track gets really catchy, but even then, Camille doesn’t fall into the trap of sacrificing good lyricism for dance-worthiness. Her lyrics are flirty without being forced, and romantic without being sentimental. You get to immerse yourself in her fantasy while vibing with that upbeat groove.
Camille’s vocal performance on this track is light, yet intentional. Even though she’s fully capable of it, there’s no vocal acrobatics for the sake of flair. You can just hear the control and musical intuition in her phrasing and layered harmonies, honed through her years of performance experience.
The production is just as tight. With its glittering synth textures, laid-back groove, and subtle guitar flourishes, “Be My Boo” is tailor-made for beachside drives, and TikTok dance trends. But this song’s more than a seasonal bop, it’s Camille’s personal time capsule of joy and sincerity, delivered with polish and a wink.
With “Be My Boo,” Camille K isn’t just riding the summer wave; she’s steering it. And if this track is any indication of what’s to come, Camille’s ready to soundtrack
more than just our sunny afternoons. She’s aiming straight for our hearts.
