    El segundo álbum de Camila conmueve con todas esas baladas que tiene, el tema MY OH MY es de los que se te quedan pegados en la cabeza y no se te sale por nada del mundo

    O maioral dela, impecável em todos os sentidos, sendo Shameless uma das maiores obras de Camila Cabello

    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.

    So lyrically and thematically, Romance is very similar to Camila. However, sonically it is a huge improvement. And that is why I prefer this record over the debut. The campaign of this album was all wrong. There was far too much emphasis on Señorita, and Liar and Shameless shouldn't have been released as a double A-side.

    Great album but could have been better without songs like First man and Dreams of you. Shameless is a wonderful surprise on this album.

    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

    Realmente no deberías dejarte llevar por la crítica de los "expertos" en música. Deberías escuchar el albúm y ver si conectas, con el cantante y con las melodías.

    in her second album, camila talks about passion in a sentimental way without getting caught up in the aesthetics of her first album, making the experience of listening to it captivating at first glance.

    It's beautiful and incredible the sound growth in this album she grew up vocally she add husky voice in some musics that give me chills.The lyrics it is the best part of this album.On 'should've said it' and 'feel it twice' she pull the strings on my heart the guitar in 'used to this' and 'shameless' is insane to hear too.But i don't liked the order of the musics just it

    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.
