This week, the song that earned Cam her GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Solo Performance climbs to #4 on both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country airplay charts, as Cam and her Untamed album have amassed a growing list of media accolades.
The New York Times declares Cam “a 21st-century radio-ready performer,” promising, “Cam’s voice is strong enough to seize the foreground, and her songs deserve the push.”
The Washington Post touts Untamed as “one of the year’s strongest country albums,” while the Associated Press says that “it’s the timelessness of her strengths that make Cam an artist to watch” and “a Dolly Parton for the 21st century,” hailing her as “a talented singer who has charisma and an ability to connect with real-life issues in fresh ways.”
Featured in Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List” of “The Top 10 Things We Love This Week,” Untamed has already garnered praise from EW as a “stellar debut,” citing Cam’s “Burning House” as “the most complete sum of her parts as an artist: emotional, affective, and gorgeously and simply sung.”
With each song co-written by Cam, Untamed was produced by GRAMMY®-winner and current Producer of the Year, Non-Classical GRAMMY nominee Jeff Bhasker (Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, FUN., The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift) and two-time Album of the Year GRAMMY nominee Tyler Johnson (Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Mikky Ekko).
