Camille Trail's new single 'Little History' is a light-hearted antidote to troubling times - a song about having a few drinks with your friends and forgetting, for a moment, about everything else. "My dad was always at me to write a drinking song," says Trail, "so I sat down with a beer to reminisce about party nights with my friends over the years. This was pre COVID 19 but now I feel like the song is a timely reminder to turn off the news, try to relax and have a little fun."
The release of 'Little History', produced by triple ARIA winner Shane Nicholson, provides a glimpse into Trail's stylistic range. Both previous singles – 'Humming Chain' and 'Devil's Drink' - have been sultry, swampy blues influenced country with dark lyrical themes, while 'Little History' is a good time country shuffle with a 'let's have a drink and forget about it all' message. Both previous singles made a serious impact at radio with 'Devil's Drink' peaking at #19 and holding for 14 weeks on The Music Network Country Airplay Chart, with the video peaking at #16 on CMC chart.
The video for 'Little History' was directed by Duncan Toombs from The Filmery. "We wanted it to be laidback and fun and portray what it looks like when I let loose with my friends" says Trail. "I'm naturally kind of goofy so this time around, after the darkness of Humming Chain & Devil's Drink, I wanted to show another side of me. It's kind of a snapshot of our own little personal history against a backdrop of the worry and uncertainty of the times."
Queensland fans can catch Trail performing at the VDM Festival in Biloela on October 4 along with Casey Barnes, Southbound & Shannon Noll. The festival is at this stage going ahead, though this may of course change at short notice depending on Queensland's public health restrictions. Trail is also confirmed to appear at the rescheduled Savannah In The Round Festival in 2021.
