Though she has hinted at a desire to express her Mexican-Cuban heritage through her music in tracks like 2019’s ‘Senorita’ and 2017’s ‘Havana’, Camilla Cabello finally breaks the chains of commercial pop with this record full of Latin influence. Mariachi melodies, rumba rhythms and Spanish lyrics fill the artist’s music with a new colour and authenticity. Her lyrics also reach new heights, with ‘psychofreak’, featuring WILLOW, exploring life with anxiety and ‘Lola’ drawing on the shackles of poverty and corruption. This album promises a new era for the artist. LT
