The past six months we have been hard at work producing our latest album entitled, “Battle Hymns of the New Republic,” and we are pleased to announce the official release date of the new record for July 30th!
Some people may be wondering "well what does the new Camilla Jordan album sound like?"
These new songs and the sounds on this new album are unlike anything we have ever done. There are elements of various musical influences scattered through out the album, everything from post-punk, hardcore, and even metal!
So why the major changes in style?
Over the past year we have been critically observing the changing geo-political arena of America and Western nations. We have witnessed some really horrifying developments taking place, and yet we keep thinking, “ Why aren’t people writing songs about what is happening? Where is the voice of the conscientious objectors to raise awareness of these times?
Indignant over the ignorance that has prevailed in our culture, we decided it was time to wake people up to what has been transpiring under all our collective noses.
In doing so, it only made sense to embrace alternative and heavier music styles as a vehicle to get our message across, which explains the stylistic changes to our sound.
For some people, the lyrics of the new songs in this album might be too “political” for their preferences. We know that these songs will provoke some strong reactions, however we refuse to shy away from speaking up about modern issues out of fear of offending people’s sensibilities.
As artists we must be free to explore everything and use anything in our world to convey meaning, even if that means unapologetically killing sacred cows of cultural relativism, stepping on elitist toes, and exposing bad actors.
So if those things are your cup of tea, then “Battle Hymns of the New Republic” is your ticket to ride!
So there you have it in a nutshell. This album, is not shy or modest, it is controversial statement of our times, a "no holds barred" slap to the face of injustice and inequity.
We are offering a free download of the single "Battle Hymn" that will feature on the new album.
Thanks for listening.
