    This album in it's complete form is truly incredible. Each song captures the raw feelings that camila must have been feeling. The lyrics used throughout the songs hit a deep place because of the fact that they are so vivid and are real. Incredible album, a major step up from Camila.

    It's a beautiful mature album, showing how Camila evolved as a person and also as an artist bringing great compositions and perfect vocals, I'm a fan of her since 2016 and realize how much she has evolved.
    The tracks are not repetitive and each of the 14 brings a special feeling to the listener, it is impossible not to remember someone listening to one of the songs as the lyrics penetrate

    Camila achieves what she set out to with this album. She writes and sings with honesty, vulnerability and bravery as she details her love journey and growth from it through a carefully curated track listing. I suspect that only her fans, those that have been following her every romantic and emotional step throughout the years (like I have) will be able to fully appreciate the story thatCamila achieves what she set out to with this album.

I suspect that only her fans, those that have been following her every romantic and emotional step throughout the years (like I have) will be able to fully appreciate the story that she tells as a whole. Of course everyone can find a theme or song to relate to nonetheless, but it runs the risk that she might be perceived as repetitive, generic and soppy.

    The album captures her experiences both visually and sonically. The album is more specific and cohesive than her debut album CAMILA. Her song writing has improved and her live performances are more stellar than ever, reflecting her experimentation in production and her voice. Yet she is heavy on auto-tune in this one, which I find a shame considering how angelic her voice is and how capable she is to do without.

    I enjoyed listening every song. But "this love" "dream of you" and "first man" gave me goosebumps ans maybe I teared up a little bit too... "my oh my" is a nice track.

    Cabello’s willingness to assist in [the music industry’s embrace of the “Latin” sound] caricature elsewhere distracts from the otherwise interesting Spanish-classical and Santana-esque riffs on Romance.
  2. Dec 12, 2019

    Throughout “Romance,” the pop machinery clicks cleverly and efficiently into place around Cabello’s voice. The productions tend to be sparse — spooky electronic sounds, an occasional acoustic or electric guitar, hefty but discreet drums — and even where the choruses ratchet up, Cabello’s voice often stays close and confiding.

    Romance is a solid, sexually charged sophomore entry that places growth at center-stage and keeps us wanting more without going limp.
