We got another good one
for y'all today UxU fans. We want to bring to your attention a DMV R&B
artist, Colby Moore aka C.A.M. We had a chance to sit down with him and discuss
his love for music and his influences.
Colby has a pure, raw
sound that he likes to describe as “spacey.” He has profound lyrics that have a
more “upfront and in your face style” and a talent that is unprecedented. Growing
up, he listened to original R&B legends such as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder,
and Luther Vandross. C.A.M. has been introduced to all types of music throughout
his life ranging from classical Mozart to the Rolling Stones. However, he does
have an appreciation for some of R&B’s modern styled music. C.A.M. says
that artists including The Weekend, Miguel, and Frank Ocean would be
booming out of his headphones. He also listens to a bit of Dru Hill, BJ the
Chicago Kid, J. Gourdine, and Wale.
Colby’s new mixtape “Back
to the C.A.M Era” shows his versatility and lyrical stretch as an artist. Listening
to the mixtape, it is obvious that he is attempting to revitalize the soul in
R&B. When asked what his favorite song on the mixtape is, Colby says it
would have to the song titled “Lost” because that is what he feels is the state
of today’s R&B. He believes that
R&B should go back to its pure sound rather than continuing to mainstream. Colby
also says that if the world were perfect, the two artists he would love to do
collaborations with, dead or alive, would have to be Rick James and Luther
Vandross. That would be his dream.
For all of the UxU fans
out there, expect to see another of C.A.M.’s mixtape by the summertime. But keep
a look-out for his singles that will begin to drop periodically until then. Get
hip! Listen to some of his singles from his SoundCloud and his Mixtape below. Download his mixtape “Back to the C.A.M Era” on DatPiff.com HERE.
