    I think she experiments with another sounds we hadn't heard before from her, and I really like all the experiment. My favorites so far are living proof, this love, bad kind of butterflies and feel it twice.

    o álbum é ótimo, mostra como ela aprendeu a elevar sua qualidade em produção e composição, soa muito melhor e a frente que o camila. E é absolutamente incrível a forma como mantém suas raízes latinas com as batidas bem presentes em Liar por exemplo, talvez essa seja a marca que ela queira deixas, é um álbum ótimo

    Certainly Camila has provided us with a generic album, but with a different severity that can make it superior to the "standard of generic pop" mode. The compositions and strong beats become good beats to the ears and a vocal control simply finished.

    "Romance" is one of the most amazing and eclectic albums of this 2019. Going through different stages and types of love, from positive and beautiful to disastrous and negative, to love in the family. Camila Cabello is increasingly becoming one of the greatest singers in the coming years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Romance is the perfect definition of falling in love and its issues and perks, which makes the title chosen by Camila the best possible. While on ‘Liar’ Cabello tries to deny her love for someone, on ‘Shameless’, Cabello shows herself fearless about admitting she loves someone. On ‘Living Proof’, Camila shows us some divine love, in which “there’s God in every move” and her lover “is the living proof”. On the chorus, she risks (and perfectly succeed) falsetto. On ‘Should’ve Said It’ and ‘Feel It Twice’, the singer talks about somebody wanting her while she’s with somebody else. On the first one, she Expand

    A step up for her songwriting and producing skills. I would have love for her to have one main producer for the whole album to keep it more cohesive. The effort and innovation is admirable however I would have love to see what Antonoff, Diplo, FINNEAS or Frank Dukes (again) could have done for an album.

    Chapter two: Camila leaving this other person and going to her love.
    Chapter three: A wedding, that is described on the track “First man”. (And I really loved that bc she stayed true to her roots, bc in latin telenovelas, EVERYTHING, ends up in a wedding, and camila once said she just loved them!) Anyways, it’s a really enjoyable album, Camila did great, there were only one or two songs that seemed kinda off, but looking at the full project, belíssimo!

    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.

    Love is huge and there is a ton of ways to love and people to adore. In an album called "Romance" I personally think that all this kinds of love (to your partner, parents, for life, to your hometown) should be represented. Camila, however, has decided to reduce love to the romantic relationship one. The album, consisting of 14 tracks, has only one that talks about another type of love: herLove is huge and there is a ton of ways to love and people to adore.

That isn't much, though.
    The album has an undeniable perfect production that fits perfectly with Camila's vocals. Songs like "My Oh My" or "Bad Kind of Butterflies" are funny and terrifying at the same time. Please stick to your habitual producer Camila, he/she's doing an amazing work.
    The album has an excellent concept but, as communism, the idea is brilliant but, in the practice, it isn't as good as we thought. The idea of talking about love being only 22 and having that little experience following the singer's words is interesting. She sounds deeply in love in this album but it tries to evolve to a breakup and then to a recovery that I, honestly, don't believe has happened to her. It feels a bit forced even though the album is great.

    On the other hand, many songs have very flat (or even mediocre) lyrics like Bad Kind of Butterflies, Feel It Twice, Living Proof and even Señorita. They all have potential but are too underwhelming overall.

    On her self-titled debut album, released in January 2018, Camila succeeded at her goal of only including the perfect songs, she did not want any fillers and had a selection of 10 tracks that were all of great quality. That is not an easy task when most of the tracks are ballads - which can be either beautiful or very boring - but she did it. However, on Romance, Camila does not accomplish that, many songs could have been removed from the project, and even those that are good enough do not come close to her earlier work (except the absolute best few ones).

    Moreover, for a concept album, constructed around the theme of falling in love and exploring a romantic relationship, the album is very disorganised and lacks cohesion. Tracks like 'Cry For Me' feel out of place, despite being great standalone records.

    Overall, while it does include some solid material, the album is underwhelming, lacklustre and disappointing when compared to its predecessor.
    Camila has the potential to do much better.

    "Camila" was better, but Used to This, Cry for Me and Easy are so great songs.

    "Romance" viene siendo un album muy desesperado para aprovechar el éxito de "Señorita" sin embargo algunos tracks nos da el sabor de una continuación de su álbum debut "CAMILA" esta vez Cabello obtuvo una poca producción pues muchas canciones entran por un odio y salen por el otro sin dejarno una sensación alguna,abusando de autotune sin alguna necesidad.

    Average song-writing and production makes "Romance" a sophomore slump for Camila Cabello.

    Least favorite tracks: Living Proof, Bad Kind of Butterflies, Easy

    A quite listenable bunch of pop songs about love. Not much to chew on, but Camila has a beautiful voice and I don't have any real complaints.

    Un álbum que supera a su antecesor, pero aún así no se siente una coherencia en este trabajo, las canciones se sienten muy dispersas, y algunas se notan sobreproducidas como "easy", que usa por encima de lo aceptable el autotune. 67/100

    Simply put: It wasn't good. Her debut had a fresh sound, but Romance just capitalizes on her debut's success and the sound of its successful tracks. It seems like she had no artistic growth. I'll give her a credit for the aesthetics, though.

    My Oh My tiene potencial para ser un hit, lástima que sólo con colaboraciones Camila pueda tener exito, sola no puede. El álbum es bueno pero no mucho. Ojalá para el próximo nos sorprenda con algo bueno

    great vocals and lyrics but pretty uninventive sonically. camila has proven she can do better than most of these songs (shameless as one of them).

    This album sounds generic.. I only liked ''Shameless'', the others sound unoriginal to me. Sometimes her voice doesn't match with the melody.

    A voz e, principalmente, a sonoridade que o álbum apresenta não agradam a ponto de QUERER ouvir a obra novamente. O debut album foi superior em relação ao segundo.

    Pretty generic sound in the album. Sounds like something I’ve heard before so neither good to bad just neutral.

    Lots of paid positive reviews for pop albums these days and this is no different. Can also see lots of bots in the user section giving positives.
    With that said it's an average album. Lots of autotune because she's not the world's greatest singer (which I'm sorry.. she should be backup then). Just a solid 4-5/10 here since she included some real instruments on lots of tracks.

    The album over is not the best, her previous album was a much better album as it was cohesive. I gave the album a 4 because it has so good songs (Easy, should’ve said it and used to this)

    Fui dar outra chance pra essa cantora desde seu primeiro album, que mais parecia uma coletania de sons coletados de albuns de outros artistas - romance peca no seu excesso de auto-tune e falta delicadeza para um "romance".

    Album seemed to be pulling from a lot of other artist and when I listened to it felt like it wasn’t really hers or really even original there were some high points in the album and sonically she’s amazing just wish the album felt/was more original

    Her voice sounds so strong on the album and she really experimented with the production but most of the songs did not stand out and fell flat. I do like how in love and happy she seems to be but the songs are hard to really differentiate between each other at times.

    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.

    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.
