New York City’s Cameron Dezen has a lot on her mind these days. Following the release of and subsequent touring for her 2000 debut, Mary’s Daughter, Dezen (DEE- zen) left the Northeast for the Gulf Coast and married Texan musician / producer Matt Hammon (Bob Mould, The Gloria Record, Paige Lewis). Together, the couple emerged from their Houston studio with fully arranged beats and piano tracks to dress up the “keepers” from Cameron’s 3 years of writing about her new life. The end result is the 10 song delicate masterpiece, Love+Rescue, a significant leap forward from Mary’s Daughter, yet true to the vocal / beat formula that works so well with her simple, elegant piano pop.

Mixed primarily in Los Angeles by veteran songwriter/producer David Rice, the new set is sonically and emotionally focused. Equal parts heavy and light, Love+Rescue delights in a thick, pulsating bottom-end juxtaposed against Cameron’s angelic, often lilting voice, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing tension out of which her poetic, autobiographical lyrics emerge.
