Berlin-based artist Eden Cami continues to build her sonic world with the release of her poignant new single ‘Water Take Me Away’, offering another taste of the upcoming debut EP.
Opening with gentle piano chords, glitchy reverb soaked beats and a swirling synth line, her signature, emotive vocal delivery soon enters. As the track grows a bass thickens out the tracks sonic palette as the chord progressions gradually progresses to its dramatic chorus. Introducing swirls of percussion which pan from left to right through the second verse, the tracks left-field musicality, and atmospheric beauty flourishes under the poetic lyricism.
The track closes with a climactic final chorus, as the synths are met with a contrast of world-music instrumentation, ultimately resulting in a sound which would be as at home on Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone as it would on more commercial radio.
Cami explains: “I wrote this song thinking about the complexity of fleeing—whether from war, oppression, or the weight of social conventions. Even after reaching physical safety, the emotional journey continues. As the lyrics took shape, I realised it also came from a deeply personal place, not fleeing a war, but a reality that didn’t allow me to be who I truly am. The song flows between my own story and the stories of millions searching for safety, identity, and a sense of belonging.”
Cami’s voice, both literally and figuratively, is central to her artistry – and it’s one she fought hard to reclaim. Raised in a patriarchal society where her desire to create music was discouraged, her journey has been anything but typical. After undergoing vocal cord surgery at eighteen and temporarily losing her ability to speak, she began the slow, determined path to recovery. What emerged was not just a return of voice, but a reinvention of it, reshaped by lived experience and artistic conviction.
