Derde single Paraffin blijft ook trouw aan de versie die vijf jaar geleden voor het eerst mijn oren streelde. Enkel de stem van Cammie is wat meer naar de voorgrond gehaald. Het nummer klinkt lieflijk donker, maar heeft een giftige ondertoon omwille van de thematiek. Net als het titelnummer en ook de tweede single laat Cammie horen wat een prachtige zangeres ze is. Opnieuw zit de sfeer van de song in de southern gothic/dark pop richting.
Het tweede nummer (The Traveller) is één van de twee nummers van destijds die het album niet halen. Nochtans opnieuw een mooi nummer, wat soberder met vooral akoestische gitaar ter ondersteuning van de zang. Benieuwd of ook Lost Promises ook een B-kant zal halen.

Cammie comments on the new single:
- “‘Paraffin’ is a tale of hypocrisy and retribution, where the allure of spiritual power turns treacherous, and the one who claims to hold the key to salvation finds himself shackled by his own malevolence. It's a song about the bitter end of false idols and the catharsis of seeing them laid low, all while holding onto one's own unshed tears.”
Deep from the verdant shadows of southern mystique, Cammie Beverly emerges with her solo debut album: House of Grief. The first single of the same name promises an odyssey of dark pop embroidered with southern gothic textures, alt-pop rhythms, and ripples of dark wave that invite listeners into her evocative realm.
Cammie, known for her work as the soulful voice of Oceans of Slumber, finds herself in a raw, yet gracefully dark rebirth. The album is a spellbinding journey where the haunting ambiance of gothic country meets the edgy energy of southern melodies. From antebellum tales whispered under mossy oaks to love stories told amidst the backdrop of haunting bayous, every track is a step into a landscape dripping with nostalgia and longing.
This isn't just music; it's an experience. Cammie's voice, an alchemy of pain and passion, winds its way through every note, seeking out the hidden spaces of the heart. It's a soundscape where the modern heartbeats of alt-pop intertwine seamlessly with the age-old tales of the South.
Icons Creating Evil Art, the visionary label standing behind Cammie's new venture, captures this essence beautifully. The label, known for its avant-garde approach and its ability to recognize the sparks of musical genius, finds in Cammie Beverly a muse for our age. A siren call from the past that resonates deeply with today's world.
"House of Grief isn’t just an album," says Cammie, "It’s a sanctuary. A place where stories live, breathe, and echo. A refuge where pain finds solace and shadows dance with hope."
Join Cammie Beverly on this transcendental journey. Dive deep into the House of Grief and discover a world where every emotion is as tangible as the notes that carry them.
