Camila Cabello takes her love to a higher place on ‘Romance.’ Read our review
On her 2018 self-titled debut, Camila Cabello was a sultry pop singer who didn’t mind looking inward in her music, exploring an emo intimacy with a classic-feeling soulfulness. On, she’s just as much of an open book. This past year the singer ended one relationship and then found herself in a new one, coupled-up with Canadian crooner Shawn Mendes, and she uses that narrative as a backdrop to sharpen her writing and deepen her sound.
Cabello explores romance in all its forms: love, lust, and, in her most adventurous moments, the toxicity that can come from it all. She pushes her voice to new places on the opening track, “Shameless,” an explosive pop-rock standout where she piercingly sings about submitting to a consuming obsession: “My emotions are naked, they’re taking me out of my mind.” On the vengeful “Cry For Me,” she snaps and wishes an ex all the worst over Eighties-huge guitar shredding.
Like her friend Taylor Swift, who has mastered the art of playing fleeting relationship moments for maximum dramatic impact. Cabello finds vulnerability in her pen game on the doo-wop ballad “This Love,” hitting a soulful stride in trying to free herself from an “It’s Complicated” affair; “You know how to fuck me up, then make it okay,” she belts, then adds “Get out of veins,” a line that brings to mind the way she likened a crush to shooting heroin on her hit, “Never Be the Same.
