DJ CAM 

Seven

DJ Cam revisits the icy, jazzy, sexy cool of ’90s trip-hop, one of the sounds that have defined his long career, on his seventh album. The Frenchman teams with Massive Attack collaborator Nicolette Suwoton on “Love”—an electro-lounge tune complete with vintage organ tones and a martini-shaker rhythm—and newcomer Inlove on “1988,” further showcasing his music’s sensual side. He gets less from his collaboration with British singer Chris James, whose David Gray-meets-Radiohead vocals make for some lukewarm pop songs, but it’s no matter. Cam is at his best when he’s by himself, dropping the throbbing bass and scary synths and strings that make “California Dreamin” and “Dreamcatcher” such groovy nightmares.
