Camela Widad Kraemer: News

Could I ask 30 minutes to an hour of your time to help me get into the Lilith Fair in Philadelphia? I am current 104th in ranking on OurStage.com and if I get into the top 100 I will be in the "Head to Head" judging.

Basically, Ourstage.com is a platform that was created to help artists get discovered in a fair way; by fans listening and voting. The thing is that you cannot control what you vote for, it comes up randomly so you have to go through a juding process (which can take a while depending on your connection and computer speed) to get to my song "Caffeine Empire".

If you have the time, and could give me a great vote, go to this link:

You will have to listen to at least 15 seconds of a song, between 4 songs and rank them best to worst. You will go through this many times before you get to my song, or you may get "Caffeine Empire" up right away. The great news is, that my song does stand out among many of the entries, which makes me excited and also being 104th right now is exciting. I hope you will have some time to vote, I really appreciate it! And if I make it, we can celebrate together at Lilith Fair this year!

I appreciate your support and being a FAN! Thanks so much!

Camela Widad Kraemer's Profile on OurStage

"A widely-traveled artist who now calls central Pennsylvania home, Camela Widad Kraemer presents a personable, relatable and easy-to-digest set of songs on her fifth album, “Before You’re Gone”. Kraemer’s musical domain often recalls the classic folk rock/pop traditions of Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins; but her blend of song variety....." Jim Price - Pa Musician Magazine

Women's Radio Network has chosen Camela as one of their Hot "Up & Comers" of 2010! THANKS WRN!


"Oh, her voice! It’s like bubblegum one moment and then offers a glint of rasp the next, and all the while oh-so-captivating! Camela Widad Kraemer is an accomplished touring songwriter, and has room to boast, having already added performances at several UK and US Festivals as notches to her bedpost. All the while, Camela maintains a humble and appreciated demeanor, often saturating intimate settings such as Coffeeshops and Songwriter Circles with her electrically-charged personality and gift of acoustic song. The last 10 years have seen Camela release a total of 4 albums, and 2010 marks the next step in her devoted journey to continuing the recording and performance of her breathtaking original material."

"One hallmark of good songs is that they not only stand up to
repeat listening, but that the listener finds something fresh,
exciting or inspirational with each new hearing. And Camela
Widad Kraemer's songs have that very magical quality. Whether
she's singing a meditation about the soul's longing for the
beloved, or her bloodrushing upbeat number about an empire
created by the coffee bean that makes you want to get up
and dance - "Before You're Gone" is one of those rare
albums that will continue to grow on you."

-Butch Kara - KZGM-Pacifica Radio

Ah where is the fairy wand when you need it! We are working out some glitches with the site, bear with us as we make it more user friendly, some nice eye and ear candy for you and updates on Camela Widad Kraemer's music.

Before You're Gone will hit the stores in a month, but you can order your very own copy right now.

"Before You're Gone" marks Camela's fifth album and it is her most intimate songwriting to date. Sweeping from rock arrangements, into sparse, low, raspy crooning, Camela sounds as if she's wispering secrets into your ear one minute then pounding your heart, beckoning it to open, the next.

CD's available for Mail Order Only starting June 26, 2009. Online ordering through CDbaby will be available soon.

DigStation.com will be offering downloads of the album starting June 29th.

Vinyl Copies will be available later in the year.

March & April were magical times in the studio! "Before You're Gone" is due for release in early June and I couldn't be more excited.

I'm in love with this album. With the help, guidance and wisdom Jason Rubal, founder of Seventh Wave Studios, brought to this project I will forever be grateful. Driving, sweet, deep, raspy, playful, and always the harmonies!

EXCITING PART....
After surveying fans and friends about how they "consume" their music these days the votes are in. We will be offering download cards right away and VINYL! That's right old school mixed with new school. Any CD's you ask? Not yet. Most of my fans said this:

"Don't bother with CD's help the environment!"

or

"Well, I guess when I buy a CD I open it, read everything, listen then pop it onto the computer or ipod and never touch the CD again."

So, stay tuned. We're planning to release in early June! Love to you All! Thanks for all the years of support.
