    This artistic , romantically curated story fits right into the catalog of Ms.Cabello . Perfecting her sound of Latin instruments and pop beats , she carries you in this journey leaving you wondering what the next chapter will be .

    She's given us a piece of her heart in this album. Brilliant production, powerful vocals and pen-game, versatility and so much artistic growth from her first album. She talks about all the stages of love. Give it a listen and you definitely won't regret it.

    Camila Cabello's 'Romance' is a big step in her career. Her sounds and lyrics had a big grow, and it's so much better than her first album, 'Camila' (which is also very good though). It's good to see that she's not an ex-Fifth Harmony anymore, she's Camila Cabello.

    perfeito, coesão, aclamação!!!! Álbum do ano. Todas as faixas fazem sentido de estar ali, uma ou duas que são mais fracas mas mesmo assim são boas. destaque para as faixas mais dark!

    O álbum é coeso, e embora seja muito semelhante ao "Camila", sinto que nada nele é datado ou obsoleto. Gosto da maneira como ele soa.

    My personal favorites are: Should’ve Said it, Easy, and This love. Also I liked her debut album a little more but this is still a great album.

    This is the only good real pop album released this year. The Spanish guitar and strings mixed with modern pop is fresh. Should Have Said It and Living Proof are the top two best tracks.

    The production of this album is much better than her debut album, Camila. Although, Camila had a homely soft feel and raw vocals, Romance's production of the songs felt more complete. Each song on the album is completely uniquely different unique from the other, in meaning and in sound. A lot of the songs on the album people can relate to and connect with regardless of gender, sexuality,The production of this album is much better than her debut album, Camila.

    En mi opinión es un album muy bueno, creo que se nota el crecimiento de Camila Cabello (musicalmente hablando) y la producción del album es muy buena, lo unico malo fue la terrible promocion que tuvo (pero eso ya no corresponde a la artista) mis canciones favoritas fueron: Used to this, Easy, Bad Kind Of Butterflies y First Man

    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.
