    C,XOXO isn't a bad album, particularly when stacked against the imagined disaster it could've been. The problem is that it sounds like it's been purchased from other talents rather than being curated and homegrown by Cabello and her team. You gotta hand it to her for trying though, even more so for the fact that it nearly, just nearly, works.

    ‘C,XOXO’ is a laconic, off-kilter pop record filled with heavily Auto-Tuned vocals inspired by T-Pain. It’s a new sound for Cabello that heightens the music’s intriguing, trippy sheen. Throughout, her lyrics pivot between pithy and revealing.

    C,XOXO is a portrait of someone trying desperately to be liked but not quite knowing how to win the approval. Few things are more universal than that.

    Cabello often feels like a guest on her own album, drifting through songs too slender to stamp her own identity on, not entirely on board with a dramatic musical shift: an artist who appears to have been interior-decorated out of house and home.

    While Cabello might view C,XOXO as an adventurous new step in her career, it plays more like a TikTok video: attention-grabbing, disposable, and instantly forgettable.
