We recently had the distinct honor to check out the new single “Stanley”, from queer Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Camille Schmdt. You can listen to “Stanley” Here .

Ever since we heard “XOXO” from Camille Schmidt last month, we have anxiously awaiting new music ….. Well we got what we wished for with her smoking hot new single “Stanley”

Camille has crafted an absolutely indie rock gem with “Stanley “, which is loaded with red hot memorable guitar riffs that Camille weaves perfectly between a flawless vocal performance. Camille shares “I started thinking about my plane ride the night before. This woman in front of me had been texting a friend about her boyfriend, Stanley (who I later discovered was a few rows behind us). I was thinking about the loneliness you feel when you’re alone, but also the deeper loneliness when you’re with someone, and that person doesn’t fill the hole inside you the way you’d hoped. It was a time when I was searching for comfort in anything – overheard conversations, interactions with strangers, little jokes I would make to myself.”

“Stanley” is the latest track from her upcoming new album “Nude #9”

“Stanley” evokes an absurd and poignant image of a woman “going nowhere,” finding strange comfort in the oddballs who seem just as lost as her. Steeped in dream logic—“I walked the plank I mean I went to the bank/ I had a hot matcha and a heart attack”—the song reflects Schmidt’s keen balance of the insane and the quotidian, honed over years of writing fiction and a prior career in comedy television.

Camille Schmidt , is an artist with a message and a voice that needs to be heard , “Stanley” may be one of the best songs we have heard all year.
