    This album was a MESS. It sounds like rejects from her first album and a handful of tracks sound like Havana. She really needs to start finding different beats.

    The vocals and sounds in this album are magical. Should’ve Said It, Used to This, and First Man are the songs that stand out the most to me. First Man is a beautiful/cry worthy song and I can see it being played during the father daughter wedding dance.

    Magical, sensitive, every song has something different, the chorus, high notes, and the lyrics... you could get the exact feeling of fall in love, a heartbreak, it's just a mix of feelings, I'm suspect to say, but LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
    She deserves the best, and keep doing what loves, performing her songs with pleasure.

    Fui dar outra chance pra essa cantora desde seu primeiro album, que mais parecia uma coletania de sons coletados de albuns de outros artistas - romance peca no seu excesso de auto-tune e falta delicadeza para um "romance".

Apenas uma musica me chama atenção em toda a obra "this love" faz o album ter um minimo respiro e delicadeza - mesmo soando como um sample de "Cry Baby" de Demi Lovato. Contudo camila atira para todos os lados e entrega um trabalho forçado em busca de hits, talvez a cubana soaria melhor em suas origens latina. Expand

    On the other hand, many songs have very flat (or even mediocre) lyrics like Bad Kind of Butterflies, Feel It Twice, Living Proof and even Señorita. They all have potential but are too underwhelming overall.

    On her self-titled debut album, released in January 2018, Camila succeeded at her goal of only including the perfect songs, she did not want any fillers and had a selection of 10 tracks that were all of great quality. That is not an easy task when most of the tracks are ballads - which can be either beautiful or very boring - but she did it. However, on Romance, Camila does not accomplish that, many songs could have been removed from the project, and even those that are good enough do not come close to her earlier work (except the absolute best few ones).

    Moreover, for a concept album, constructed around the theme of falling in love and exploring a romantic relationship, the album is very disorganised and lacks cohesion. Tracks like 'Cry For Me' feel out of place, despite being great standalone records.

    Overall, while it does include some solid material, the album is underwhelming, lacklustre and disappointing when compared to its predecessor.
    Camila has the potential to do much better.

    "Romance" is a low and highs album. In some moments, the production can be confused, boring and dissapointed. However, in other moments, the album is masterpiece in terms of production and lyrical content.
    Besides that, "Romance" has a concept but it is not so clear in my opinion.
    To finish, it necessary to highlight some positives aspects in the album. They are: Shameless, First Man,

    This is such a good album, we can se that she really tried new things while creating this body of work, doing something different comparing to her debut self-titled album. Se came with different genres and tempos and she did THAT with the vocals.

    Chapter two: Camila leaving this other person and going to her love.
    Chapter three: A wedding, that is described on the track “First man”. (And I really loved that bc she stayed true to her roots, bc in latin telenovelas, EVERYTHING, ends up in a wedding, and camila once said she just loved them!) Anyways, it’s a really enjoyable album, Camila did great, there were only one or two songs that seemed kinda off, but looking at the full project, belíssimo!

    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.
