Acclaimed, multi-award-nominated songstress Cam is sure to delight fans anxious for new music as she previews her 2018 Arista Nashville/RCA Records sophomore album with the release of ‘Diane’ , the forthcoming collection’s debut single.  

Inspired by the storyline of Dolly Parton’s classic Jolene, the driving, tempo-rich track delivers a sonically refreshing tale of love and regret and commiseration.  The song was co-written by Cam, Jeff Bhasker, and Tyler Johnson, the team behind the most-downloaded song by a female country artist released since 2015, Cam’s Platinum-certified #1 smash, Burning House which propelled Cam to her first GRAMMY®, ACM, CMA, CMT, and American Music Awards nominations.  

About the song, Cam shares, “‘Diane’ is my response to Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene.’  It’s the apology so many spouses deserve, but never get.  The other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife about an affair, respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she realized he was married.  Because everyone should be able to decide their own path in life, based on the truth.  Women especially should do this for each other, since our self-worth can still be so wrapped up in our partners.  And in true country fashion, I’ve set the whole raw story to upbeat music, so you can dance while you process it all.”  

A GRAMMY winner as Producer of the Year, Jeff Bhasker (Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars) and multiple-GRAMMY nominee Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran) produced Diane, in addition to co-writing the song with Cam.  Bhasker and Johnson also produced Cam’s widely acclaimed 2015 major-label debut, ‘Untamed’.   

Along with working on her upcoming album, Cam’s busy 2017 included co-writing the song Palace with Sam Smith and Tyler Johnson on Sam Smith’s forthcoming album, ‘The Thrill of It All’, releasing November 3.  She also contributed background vocals and electric guitar to the track.
