    Our Cuban fairy Camila did an awesome job dropping this amazing album. I love the way we can feel all of her emotions through these incredible songs. My favorites so far are Something's Gotta Give, She Loves Control, In The Dark and Consequences. So, this is one of the best album I've heard EVER!

    i just wanna say congratulations Camila for this incredible album, an amazing record, a truly masterpiece... Each song is very different from the other, She served vocals, lyrics, instrumental, background vocals.

    So proud of you Camila.

    Good debut album. Kind of generic, commercial and similar. Her voice is gorgeous but still can improve. Some tracks are wonderful while others are not so good. Hope her next album is better. (Actually some songs such as Scar Tissue and Crying in The Club that are not on the album are better)
    Never Be The Same 10/10(favorite track)
    All These Years 9/10(vivid but mediocre) She Loves

    Camila Cabello's debut album is an intriguing record, with a sensation comparable to that of a book disguised as a pop record. It is, undoubtedly, more personal than apparent at first listen - and is a fascinating 36-minute trip into the singer and songwriter's point of view.

    on and all, for a debut album camila really did the damn thing, she had 100 countries have her album go #1, joining the likes of ed sheeran, beyonce, taylor swift, and more. that is absolutely amazing, since it's her debut album. the album was also critically acclaimed, as you can see by looking at the other reviews by the critics.

    if you want something to make you feel, i 100% think you should give it a listen, you won't be disappointed!

They give you some insight to what she has been feeling throughout her journey of releasing this masterpiece. Not only does she amazing ballads, she has bops for days with She Loves Control, Havana, Inside Out and Into It. She Loves Control is such a sexy, empowering song that you can't help but blast through the speakers; awesome production. Havana; Obvious world wide hit. Inside Out gives me being on vacation vibes and Into It, lyrically is unexpected of Camila but also fun.

    "Camila", with all its changes, delays, and ups-and-downs, was such a promising record, and it did deliver a lot of what was promised, just not quite everything.

There's no denying the talent of the ex-Fifth-Harmony-member, whose vocals, a bit meddled with auto-tune (which, don't get me wrong, is a highlight), shine all through her debut record, but it's the filler-nature of a couple of songs that is the main, but minor problem with this record. When she was pushing back the release, Ms Cabello promised her fans it was because she "wanted every song to sound like a single", and that she did: there's no song on there that I couldn't imagine being played on the radio. The highlights are pretty clear here: 'Havana' is a huge bop, hence all the success it's getting, and 'Never Be The Same' is a very well-done pop track and a very enjoyable sing-along, 'All These Years' and 'Real Friends' are good laid-back tracks (that both sound a lot like Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself', by the way), and 'Consequences' and 'Something's Gotta Give' are tender heartbreaking ballads (enlisting the help of Ed-Sheeran-peer co-writer Amy Wadge for the former). The instrumentation and the production all throughout the album are just excellent, leaning on a lot of latin-infused and raggaeton melodies, which work for Camila so not-surprisingly well. However, some other songs just feel... empty; it's not the production, nor the lyrics, nor the vocals, but they just sound like fillers (you might want to skip 'Inside Out' and 'In the Dark' altogether). Another flaw is closing the album with 'Into It', which is a very catchy Selena-Gomez-imprinted track, but that just doesn't fit as a closer to the record at all. In retrospect, maybe she shouldn't have scrapped 'I Have Questions' and 'OMG' (which were two truly powerful tracks).
    That said, let's not forget that this is Camila's first record (which turned out to be pretty solid), and she's allowed to make a couple of mistakes here and there. However, the LP still feels so personal and genuine, and that is what matters the most.

    "Camila" is short, sweet and light, but the best part about this album is that Cabello doesn't forget where she comes from. With the Latin influences sprinkled throughout every track, her pride in her culture is what sets her apart from other pop stars on the rise right now.

However, there are two weak points in this record, for example, Havana is an annoying track without purpose inside of this world, the classic pop music with a rapper wasting time and ruining the whole performance just being in a verse. And Real Friends that tired me before the end. The basic beach sound in the background did not with the excellent performance from Camila.

    In the end, 2018 started with a good record. Thank you Camila to have postponed this album.

    There are Latin/Caribbean vibes on songs such as SLC and IO, which will definitely make your hips happy. But for me, the raw vocals, the simplistic but elegant production, and the poetic and highly relatable lyrics on C and SGG, take the album to another level.
    Camila Cabello's vocals and lyrics have ability to trigger emotions you didn't even know existed.
    Therefore, if you're gonna listen to CAMILA, which you definitely should, prepare yourself for an emotional roller-coaster. It will make you smile, it will make you dance, it will make cry, and most importantly, it will make you remember.

    Camila really is trying to put herself into this, and I think it bodes well for what we're going to get in the future. I see mixed reviews of some people wanting less ballads, but at the same time they want her to be different. Her having more ballads is where she IS different, this is where she is really telling us something, on those songs.

Her having more ballads is where she IS different, this is where she is really telling us something, on those songs. And I think if people really listen to the lyrics, instead of just a cursory listen, you'll find that Camila could have very bright future indeed, she is turning into a good writer.

    My biggest complaint is that at times I feel like there is too much auto-tuning. Camila's voice does not need this, at all, she is capable of producing that sound without help. I also would rather we'd gotten something other than a radio edit of Never Be The Same, perhaps the no rap version of Havana? I do understand the change in direction and some songs not being ready, as to why we don't have the song she did with Ed or Charlie XCX writing with her, and I look forward to what we get in the future.

    The zero ratings are coming from mainly two places: people not voting right given what they wrote (positive notes, but bad score), and pressed fans from her former girl group. To give a zero to the album, as if it has absolutely nothing on it worth anyone's time, is petty and disingenuous, and just not true (most of them were bopping to Havana even if they don't want to admit it.)

    Admittedly, this isn't for everyone, I wasn't even OPEN to pop music in general until I started listening to 5H and found something about them that spoke to me, in large part because of Camila's voice being so unique, and because they seemed to project this very positive girl empowerment theme. But I listen closer to what Camila is saying, not just the overall sound, and I'm finding music I can identify with, music I wish I'd had years ago.

    ¨CAMILA¨ exceeded all my expectations, without a doubt it is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time, her voice is beautiful, the lyrics and the rhythms of the songs are perfect, I can not stop playing it. It is not the typical pop album, she is not the typical teen idol and it shows in her talent and in her hard work. I just loved the album.

    Camila is a wonderful artist and her debut album is delicious and wonderful. She brought her latin influences, mainly in her smash hit Havana and She Loves Control (which deserved to be a single). This album is incredible and unforgettable.

    An absolutely amazing album. A good representation of who Camila is as a lyricist and as an artist. Typically I do not enjoy every song on an album, and there are tracks that I will skip, however this album is the exception. I really enjoy every track and think it is a very cohesive album.

    Her voice melted softly with every single song. Is colorful even when the album has just 10 song (without mention that the track 11 is just a "Never Be The Same" radio edit version) Camila Cabello worked hard with this album and she take it seriously. Congratulations for her.

    Camila Cabello has released a debut album like no other. It is a cohesive body of work, from the top-notch production to her velvety vocals.

It is surreal to see how talented and artistic Camila Cabello is. Camila Cabello has full possession of her talent, has knowledge of art, loves art, loves music, loves to write, sing and tell stories. Camila album is great, very well lapid, was well taken care of in its details that makes it unique. I see him brilliantly, he is brilliant with all his points. Without a doubt, Camila Cabello has become one of the few singers who truly show her ability to compose, sing and produce an album supervised and detailed by her. Congratulations Camila Cabello.

    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.
