Camille Camille “In a Song” Video Filmed in the Canary Islands

The transition from a sailboat in Amsterdam to the arid geography of the Canary Islands provides the physical backdrop for “In a Song,” the latest single from Camille Camille, released via Labelman. The track originated in 2023, constructed around a persistent guitar line that remained solitary for several months before the addition of melody and lyrics. A rhythmic, train-like foot-tap serves as the percussive foundation, a loop that carries the composition through its four-minute duration.

Description: Camille Camille releases "In a Song" via Labelman. A percussive folk track recorded in Ghent and filmed in the Canary Islands. Out February 2026.

Recording for the skeleton of the track took place in a temporary residence in Ghent, with final production completed in early 2025 alongside engineer Michiel Renson. The arrangement features intricate guitar picking and vocal layers that reference medieval structures, set against a gritty percussive backdrop. The accompanying visual was captured on a small digital camera by Camille Willemart and her partner Vincent Leroi during a winter spent navigating the Atlantic on their boat, Saga. The footage documents the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands, mirroring the song’s exploration of uncertainty and domestic flux.

A video for “In a Song” accompanies the release, filmed by Willemart and her partner Vincent Leroi. The footage was captured on a digital camera in the Canary Islands during the previous winter, documenting the landscape while the pair traveled on their boat, Saga.
