Romance

About

We all have friends who, when they fall in love, turn into Shakespeare-quoting, starry-eyed Pepé Le Pew. That’s all good, but not many can convey emotion with a flawless soprano like Camila Cabello. <i>Romance</i>, her second album, feels like a transitional moment for the Cuban American singer. Most notably, her adorable relationship with pop superstar Shawn Mendes provided much of this album’s inspiration. Next, she steps away from the Latin vibes that carried her earlier hits like “Havana” and “Señorita” to explore pop more broadly. She plunges down moody Ariana/Weeknd-type wormholes on “Should’ve Said It,” “Feel It Twice,” “Used to Thi,” and “Easy.” The latter shares feelings that are pure catnip for hopeless romantics: “Always thought I was hard to love till you made it seem so easy,” she confesse. .
