Camille Schmidt keeps up the 2024 trend of artists refusing to follow the rules of musical genres. The Brooklyn artist's latest single, "Stanley," might be predominately an indie rock song despite the synth-pop heavy opening. However, the guitar is much too heavy to be a synth-pop song, and the whole thing is much too poppy to truly be defined by either previously mentioned genre. Guitar and synth heavy pop leaning dance friendly indie rock isn't a musical style that rolls off the tongue well, and is probably too verbose to write out repeatedly. "Stanley" is a fun song that is perfect to bop along to, and is almost too addictive.
Camille Schmidt says of her new single:
"I started thinking about my plane ride the night before. This woman in front of me had been texting a friend about her boyfriend, Stanley (who I later discovered was a few rows behind us). I was thinking about the loneliness you feel when you're alone, but also the deeper loneliness when you’re with someone, and that person doesn’t fill the hole inside you the way you’d hoped. It was a time when I was searching for comfort in anything – overheard conversations, interactions with strangers, little jokes I would make to myself."
