    Absolutely 0 skips, every little detail on used to this is a 10/10, like the trolley noises in the beginning referenced to san francisco, the clock ticking when she says “it’s gonna take me a minute” and the sound of the drink pouring & glasses clinking at “no i never did like tequila but there’s something bout when i see ya, think i need a drink”

    Romance showcases all of Camila's growth, both lyrically and sonically.
    Used To This is a gem production-wise, Should've Said It an uptempo latin-driven hit and First Man the emotional highlight of the album.

One of my favorites songs has to be 'first man' whre she talks about her father and how he showed her what it's to be love and how to love someone else. It was just the perfect finish to an intense world of romance.… Expand

The growth she shows from 'CAMILA' in her songwriting, production, and vocals is very clear. this is not 'CAMILA' 2.0 this is ROMANCE. Because its different production wise some songs might be growers like "Living Proof' & 'Liar' (they were for me) so give it a chance because whether or not you like it they WILL get stuck in your head and you'll grow to like it. anyway 10/10 proud of her for being open and honest about the details and the lyrics actually get personal unlike 'CAMILA' which gives more of a story with the song writing.… Expand

    Romance is probably the best album dropped by an artist this year. Not only does Camila sound amazing, she explores different sounds and types of music which overall create a perfect album. There is seriously no skips on Romance, because ever song has it's own melody and meaning. Camila really took her concept to heart and I believe Romance is beautiful.

While her debut album, 'Camila', was raw, emotional and an introduction to her world, it was very safe. With 'Romance', Camila proves why she's a POP force in the making. She experiments with new sounds, her vocals have improved and her song-writing is just getting better! Romance has a song for everybody. It can be serious, sad, playful, sexy but overall, ROMANTIC.… Expand
