New York City's Cameron Dezen has a lot on her mind these days. Following the release of and subsequent touring for her 2000 debut, Mary's Daughter, Dezen (DEE-zen) left the Northeast for the Gulf Coast and married Texan musician / producer Matt Hammon (Bob Mould, The Gloria Record, Verbow). Together, the couple emerged from their Houston studio with fully arranged beats and piano tracks to dress up the "keepers" from Cameron's 3 years of writing about her new life. The end result is the 10 song delicate masterpiece, "Love+Rescue", a significant leap forward from "Mary's Daughter", yet true to the vocal / beat formula that works so well with her simple, elegant piano pop. Mixed primarily in Los Angeles by veteran songwriter/producer David Rice, the new set is sonically and emotionally focused. Equal parts heavy and light, "Love+Rescue" delights in a thick bottom-end juxtaposed against Cameron's angelic, often lilting voice, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing tension out of which her poetic, autobiographical lyrics emerge.

Fans of Cameron's earlier work will love the addition of live instrumentation, most notably piano, acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, and draw-bar organs, each layer working in concert with the electronic elements and walls of cascading vocal harmonies. Two songs remain in the pure, live piano/voice context: Didn't I and Right, Right Now - a kept promise to the thousands of people that have only heard her music in that vulnerable, intimate setting.
