Cameron Bloomfield Returns With Soulful New Single ‘Lazarus’

London-based singer-songwriter Cameron Bloomfield returns from a brief hiatus with new single ‘Lazarus’.

Stringing together elements of funk, jazz and soul, ‘Lazarus’ is a wistful ballad that Bloomfield says was first written as a poem when he was “going through a tough time mentally”.

“It was at a time when I was living out of a bag a lot of the time, sleeping on mate's sofas (I was never without a home but I've always needed to get out of my comfort zone) and travelling around seeing friends at different unis around the country with little to no money, jumping trains and all that,”Bloomfield explains.

“In essence it's all about the power of perspective. The line 'like tripping in the womb, if you conceive it we'll be born again soon' sums up the whole message, and it summarises that time of my life. It was a period of a lot of travelling in solitude with no conscious direction but knowing that I was heading to a better place if I focused on the things that I truly loved. The music came afterwards.”
