Camille has won the Oscar for Best Original Song for ‘The Evil’, the main song of the soundtrack of ‘Emilia Pérez’, actually one of the great losers of the ceremony, as it aspired to 13 statuettes and has only taken 2. Camille shares the prize with the composer Clément Ducol – his partner and father of his two children – and the director of the film, Jacques Audiard.
It has been curious to see Parisina Camille Dalmais collect the Oscar by the Mick Jagger himself: when her name seemed forgotten a while ago, and she was, she has traced big.
And it is that Camille was heard a lot at the beginning of the present century, both for his appearances in the beloved debut of Nouvelle Vague (2004) and, above all, for his innovative solo career as a vocal artist and experimental pop. Undoubtedly, Camille was more than another of the new Björks that emerged at the time, next to – for example – the Frenchman Émilie Simon.

Camille’s debut of 2002, ‘Le Sac des Filles’, contributed to put the French pop again on the map, thanks to singles like ‘Paris’ or ‘1,2,3’, the same year that Carla Bruni threw her successful second album; But it was ‘Le Fil’ (2005) who conquered criticism and public with its innovative concept, based on a “thread” or vocal tone that crossed all the songs on the album. Amid the grunt, scholarship and beatboxing festival that proposed ‘Le Fil’ – which this Valentine has celebrated its 20th anniversary – highlighted singles as fun as ‘Ta douleur’ -which appeared in a saturday Night Live gag- or the palms of ‘Au Port’ palms. And how beautiful it was ‘pour that l’mour took me away’!
‘Le Fil’ arrived at the 4th sales position in France in 2005 and is certified with a double platinum. Then, in 2008, ‘Music Hole’ scored a top 5 and another platinum album, although, above all, he stood out for carrying the vocal and sound experiments of Camille to the next level, on tracks such as the unforgettable ‘Money Note’. Before, in 2007, Camille already scored a success linked to the cinema playing ‘Le Festin’, a song that is part of the ‘Ratatouille’ soundtrack: it is its greatest streaming success, with 127 million views.
The following Camille albums arrived higher in the sales list of France than the previous ones: ‘Ilo Veyou’ (2011) to 3 and ‘Ouï’ (2017), in fact, it is the only camille album that has reached number 1. both long added new songs to the Dalmais repertoire made with the same good taste and the same originality as always, as the precious ‘Fontaine du lait’. However, Camille has not published new album in eight years: few imagined that he would direct his career to work in the study with Selena Gomez and, finally, to win the most precious statuette of Hollywood.
