The Berlin-based Eden Cami has been teasing a project since the beginning of the year. Her sound has leant into vast sonic spaces; ambiguity, beauty and longing now manifesting in her debut EP Come My Way. The four-track is filled with bright and musically interesting alt-pop, fusing Western pop aesthetics with Arabic and Eastern inflexions. It’s music steps outside of geography and artificial genre borders, finding strength in tradition and experimentation.
Cami’s vocal performances are poised, each exquisite melody delivered with a sense of transcendent control. Eden is not only the lead character, but the narrator, capturing the sense of discovery and externalised omniscience, a spirituality rooted in knowledge and cultural duality.
In her own words, “This EP brings together many fragments of who I am culturally, emotionally, and musically. It’s a collection of songs that were born in different moments of disorientation, longing, and hope. Each track explores a different facet of what it means to search, be it for safety, for belonging, for meaning.
Some songs carry the weight of displacement, others speak to love, anxiety, or spiritual courage. I’ve always lived between languages and worlds, and I think you can hear that throughout the EP, both in the sound and in the stories. For me, ‘Come My Way’ is less about arriving somewhere and more about daring to keep walking, even when the path is uncertain.”
Instrumental choices blur the lines between synthesis and natural vibrance. The sound design is subtle, often haunting, but intricate and powerful, layering percussion alongside harmony.
After years of honing her sound on the stages of Europe, Come My Way is a timely debut from Eden Cami. There’s a certain conviction that comes with a debut project over half a decade since debut, and that makes Eden’s new world all the more inviting.
