    'CAMILA' is by far one of the best debut albums I have ever encountered, it's a lyrical masterpiece with a phenomenal production that showcases Camila's vocals perfectly in every single song.

    All in all it's a short, but refreshing album, definitely worth a listen!

    'CAMILA' is the definition of quality over quantity. Every single song in there is melodious and Camila herself delivers all her runs / vocals / ad-libs so effortlessly. She's mesmerizing. Oh, and those lyrics. Wow. Pop excellence right here. A perfect debut.

    Absolutely amazing. Her voice sounds perfect in every single song and the lyrics just touch your soul. It feels like she’s telling her story through every track and sharing a piece of her heart with us. Definitely the best debut album I’ve heard in a while. 10/10

    Camila brings everything a good album should have, with a diverse track list the singer shows she is in fact worthy of her success. The tracks are captivating and quite emotionally driven. They promote empathy and bring comfort. A good album indeed.

    The first album where I have listened to every track straight away, since Adele's 25. A perfect debut, that's not drawn out, too long or too overload on popular trends right now. And what I found most impressive is that 80% of the songs are single worth. Well done, Camila Cabello.

    i have no other words apart from- musical genius. this album is pure perfection, you can listen to it from start till the end and not get bored at a single track. every song has its own story and concept, not to mention that she co-wrote every single one of them. new sound, new rhythms, new lyrics, and new artist who actually writes her own music just what the pop industry needed.

    Even though this album has been released very early in the year, for sure it will be one of the best albums of 2018. The tracks are all incredibly diverse and showcase her songwriting prowess and her wide vocal range. All the songs wonderfully express her personality and the depth of her emotions. A short but incredibly sweet album which will become THAT pop record.

    the tones Camila used on this album show her versatility and vocal ability, she sounds completely different from what she sounded like in Fifth Harmony. this album has exceeded expectations lyrically and sonically.

    OMG this album is amazing, a great album, in a moment of pop, when the female artist are making country/pop, Camila Cabello is releasing a album diferent, is a diary, with latin sounds, emotional ballads, & for me is better thant the FH discography, GREAT DEBUT.

    Incredible debut album. Every song manages to stand strong on it's own, their's not a single week spot on the album. Camila kills and this debut is nearly perfection. Can't wait to see where Cabello goes from here.

    This album is filled with songs that will either make you cry and get in touch with your feelings or dance your body off! There is not a bad song at all, every song is GOOD!!! The vocals, harmonies, LYRICS, and production will leave you shook and will leaving you wanting more. Queen Camila Cabello is coming to dominate 2018.

    When news broke out that Camila was going solo I didn't really care, for I hadn't cared much for Fifth Harmony in the first place and figured she was just another wanna be who'd disappear after a year or two. But, wow, did she prove me wrong. I truly think she is on her way to be the next biggest pop superstar. This is by far one of, if not the best, debut albums I have ever heard.

The fact she not only wrote on every single song, but she also COMPOSED the songs blew me away. Her writing skills are amazing and I'm happy to have been proven wrong. A phenomenal album. Expand

    Nothing but respect for MY president, se agradece un disco con canciones que no suenan a lo que todos están haciendo en la música, muy bien para ser su primer disco, que bueno que cambio de dirección a tiempo y nos entrega este álbum debut lleno de BOPs, Pop bien hecho.

    Camila served us with great lyrics and vocals. A very good album with no fillers, that goes beyond the smash hit Havana. My favorite one is Something's Gotta Give, but I think She Loves Control has everything to be also a huge hit.

    Living between two cultures can be alienating, but Camila Cabello packages her experience as a Cuban-American seamlessly into pure pop perfection.

    “Never Be the Same” proves that Cabello doesn’t need a mammoth voice. The love-is-a-drug lyric she’s singing is dumb, but she sells it so joyfully that you don’t even notice, and its wonderfully breathy, high-register hook ensures “Havana” won’t be her last solo hit.

    While Cabello stands out on the more fiery tracks, she also shines in subtlety.
