- A number of guests feature on the Parisian's seventh studio album, due out this autumn.
DJ Cam will release Seven through his own Inflamable imprint in October.
The French Touch mainstay and trip-hop pioneer has returned to his roots for his seventh full-length effort, and has reportedly emerged with his most personal album to date. "After the acoustic album Soulshine and various projects with high-profile collaborations and large groups, I wanted to get back to the essentials of being a producer: going into the studio alone, having total freedom, and allowing my inspiration free reign," comments Daumail. "Seven has turned out to be so intimate because I approached it in the same way as my earliest tracks; with experimentation and pleasure as the prime motivation."
Written in Paris and Los Angeles—where he is now based— Seven adds pop and folk touches to his usual jazz and hip-hop palette via a series of guest vocalists. Stateless' Chris James makes a number of appearances, with long-time Massive Attack collaborator Nicolette and new Inflamable signing Inlove lending their talents as well.
