Camilo EG serves up a perfect EP with "Accidental Baroque" - Interview
Camilo EG has always thrived at the crossroads of intimacy and grandeur, and with his new EP Accidental Baroque, he delivers a concise but powerful statement that highlights his versatility as a songwriter, singer, and performer. At just four tracks and 17 minutes, it’s a tight listen, but one that lingers well beyond its runtime, creating an experience that feels both personal and cinematic, woven with rock warmth and alternative edge.
The EP opens with a bold reimagining of Queen’s “Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together),” and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s one of the most striking renditions of the classic we’ve ever heard. Where Queen’s original soared with a kind of stately optimism, Camilo leans into a darker, more rock-focused interpretation, using textured guitars and shadowed atmospheres to uncover new emotional depth. It’s not simply a cover, it’s a transformation, reframed through his artistic lens. During our interview with Camilo, he spoke about the challenge of approaching such an iconic piece with reverence while still making it his own. That balance comes through brilliantly, a true feat that sets the tone for the rest of the record.
The other tracks showcase his range, with the richness of “Vines” reminding listeners why it has become a staple in his catalog, while “Don’t Wanna Wait!” and “Break On Through The Night” lean more into high-energy rock territory. The EP thrives on this push and pull between calm and urgency, giving listeners moments of reflection before catapulting them back into electrified momentum. What ties it all together is Camilo’s voice; warm, commanding, and always at the emotional center.
Production-wise, Accidental Baroque is impeccable. Every element feels intentional, from the layering of guitars to the subtle touches that make the mix breathe. Camilo’s collaboration behind the boards matches the quality of his writing and singing, creating a cohesive sound that feels polished yet raw enough to stay emotionally gripping. If there’s one thing we know before going into a listen of his work, it’s always going to impress.
When asked about what comes next, Camilo teased that new singles are already in motion for 2026, and if Accidental Baroque is any indication, he’s only getting sharper. This EP is more than a collection of songs, it’s proof that Camilo EG is carving out a space uniquely his own, one where passion, craft, and vision collide.
