Cameron Winter has remained mysterious as rumours continue that he contributed vocals to two songs from Phoebe Bridgers’ forthcoming album Lost Weekend.
The Geese frontman is believed to sing backing vocals on Kill Me and share a duet with Phoebe on I Can't Wait.
Whoever recorded the parts has been listed in the credits under the name Son-John Johnson.
When Rolling Stone asked Cameron whether he was the mystery singer, he joked: “I will need to speak with my attorney.”
The 24 year old indie musician has a highly distinctive voice, although everyone involved appears determined to maintain the mystery.
Phoebe’s album campaign has already included plenty of unexpected developments.
She recently revealed the Lost Weekend tracklist after the details reportedly appeared online ahead of schedule.
Before that, she was required to stop using her record label’s name because of a “disagreement involving the trademark.”
Sharing the confirmed list of songs on Instagram, she wrote: “Since someone already shared it online, here is the official version!
“Only 16 more days to wait!!!!!”
Lost Weekend is scheduled for release through Dead Oceans on August 14.
The Garden Song singer established the independent label Saddest Factory Records in 2020 as an imprint of Dead Oceans.
Six years later, however, she was forced to retire the name and begin issuing her artists’ releases through Dead Oceans. The Saddest Factory Records logo remains in use and features a delicate drawing of a skeleton hand holding an ordinary hand.
A message shared through the label’s Instagram account in June explained: “Following a trademark disagreement connected to our label name, every future SFR project will now be released through Dead Oceans. Our symbol will appear beside the Dead Oceans logo to show our continued participation. Follow @DeadOceans for announcements and information about the artists in our community.”
In keeping with the label’s title, its roster features emotionally expressive musicians including Charlie Hickey, Claud, Katie Gavin, Muna and Sloppy Jane.
The name itself is a humorous take on the word “satisfactory,” a term that regularly appears in recording agreements.

Julia Stiles has shared that Dolly Parton personally approved her use of ‘9 to 5’ on Dancing with the Stars shortly before her death.
The 10 Things I Hate About You actress danced a quickstep to Parton’s classic track with professional partner Ezra Sosa during Wednesday’s episode of the American competition series.
In footage from rehearsals shown ahead of their routine, Stiles explained that Parton had personally granted permission for the song before passing away on 25 August at the age of 80.
“It was only a couple weeks before Dolly passed that she approved this song specifically for me,” the 45 year old said. “I’m so honoured to be dancing to her music and honouring her legacy, and I want to make her proud.”
Following a standing ovation from the studio audience, Stiles told cohost Julianne Hough why the song held such personal importance for her.
“It was the first song we talked about. I wanted it so badly,” the Save the Last Dance actress said. “We didn’t know what was gonna happen. She cleared it, and I just feel so honoured, like, to honour Dolly.”
“She’s such a powerhouse,” she continued. “And the song is so great. Like, it’s such an anthem. And, yeah, what a legend.”
During a recent appearance on the Dancing with the Stars podcast, Stiles said they had “no idea” that Parton’s health was getting worse when they selected the track.
Stiles also responded during Wednesday’s programme to TV personality Andy Cohen, who said in September 2025 that she was “not the greatest dancer on the planet”.
After the episode was broadcast, Cohen expressed regret for his remarks on Watch What Happens Live.
“Julia, I am so sorry. I’m the last person who should be giving anyone feedback on their dancing,” he admitted. “Great job, Julia Stiles! You killed tonight!”
