Camila Cabello's 4th studio record, "C, XOXO", is a solid reset for the star but it's also a bit of a mess. 2 Drake songs, the final City Girls collab, and a Lana Del Rey cameo! In this video, we're going to dive into this 14 track record that's somehow Camila's most authentic and inauthentic record yet. I'm going to break it down for you before assigning this record a score! #cxoxo #camilacabello #popmusic

I feel like camila should've let this year become her droplet era, It should've shown her interest in experimenting and hip hop and maybe this album wouldn't have felt so out-of-nowhere? But honestly I rlly do like the album it hope she continues to experiment maybe she'll be more than a radio darling.

I think she was always going to drop a record just because she’s always felt like an album’s artist and probably contracts and touring (which she hasn’t done in a bit) but I sorta see why a droplets era would have helped bc the record started promo in March and is now out with little fanfare

I feel as someone who is born and raised in Miami, its a Miami record. I truly do see it as a love letter to Miami but also ensuring her old feeling of ballads which shes really good with. I hate the amount of interludes though i am a sucker for interludes. The different genre in this album i do enjoy and love thee ballads. I just truly hate how short it is and how short the songs are. But all in all, I do love the album and it is pretty fun album for the summer. It could have been better but I'm enjoying it

I don’t know if this album will be entering my album of the year nominations because I feel really comfortable with the 4 albums I have already in those spots which are the tortured poets department the complete anthology from Taylor swift, Eternal sunshine from Ariana Grande, Brat from Charlie XCX and Older from Lizzy Mcalpine, and if any other releases make it into this list it may be Hit me Hard and soft from Billie Ellish and short n Sweet from Sabrina Carpenter. But I really enjoyed this record. Pretty when I cry, June Gloom, and channel number 5 are my current favourites from the record and I think this puts Camila on track to where people expected Camila to be, I hope the deluxe has a few more radio hits and electronic hits on its end as I don’t think it’s the most publicly approachable record right now but I give it a 7.9/10

While I don’t think this sound is authentic for her by any means, I don’t think it is as horrible as people make it out to be. The Charli inspiration is very evident, but the problem is that she didn’t reinvent the sound in a way that is true and unique to who she is an artist. It’s very evident that the purpose of this sudden change in style was to create shock value and profit off of it, with no intent of artistically challenging herself. If she cut most of the features and worked with the proper producers, it could be a solid project. My biggest problem is that her vocals sound muffled and messy at times. I think she is past the point of achieving mainstream success anymore. If she plays her cards right, she can have a strong underground following(ie. Carly Rae Jepsen or Charli). I don’t think this album/era will taint her career forever, but she definitely needs to spend the next few years cleaning up and establishing her sound if she wants people to take her seriously.

Camila has the foundations of a cult following. I mean when I attended that boat party, there were ride or dies. She has the talent as well, but agreed on a singular unique vision. I felt Interscope wanted her to more or less serve as their Charli or alt party girl and fabricated a persona to match. It just wasn’t completely well-formed or something she felt an explicit tie to. Songs like Twentysomethings and even June Gloom point to her preferring being more of a ballads girl than anything. While Dream-Girls and Pretty When I Cry allude to her having potential in different areas. I LUV IT was a poor lead single (even if it was camp.)

@@EljohnMacaranas I’m sure she has her die hard fans, but I don’t think that alone is enough to sustain her career right now. I’ve seen a lot of her fans complain about the music. I feel like she was aiming for a Miley moment, but ended up with a Katy one. There are many parallels between this album and the witness era. The new hair, the new image, the poor reviews, and intense backlash from fans and critics.

Totally agree with the Motomami inspiration (it really hit to me with the use of japanese words) In spain people really questioned Rosalia for that shift in her career but i do believe she somehow set the way for new artist to explore it. As a result C,xoxo is just that follow up in the motomami energy and vibe. While the timing might wanna make us relate this album to Brat (and I may agree up to some point) this album is a clear example of how motomami and latin underground culture are making its way into the mainstream. Also I do kind of think that the messy feeling actually suits the record vision and mesaage, like I am out of a relationship, summer is coming so who cares? Happy hot summer girl to every one and congratulations to camilla!! This is going to be part of my summer soundtrack for sure.

Just got listening to it so far don’t want to give a full explanation bc I’m a slow burner/grower type when it comes to albums, EPs, mixtapes etc but so far I do think there was some potential to the album I like the Miami influenced sound, there’s a hint of world building and introspection in its songwriting but it isn’t fully fleshed out and developed, the concept for it had potential but again not fully developed or flushed out. Someone made a point that camile should’ve made this year a droplet era and then fully release the album next year, Rihanna did this in 2014-2015 before dropping anti and Rosalia did this 2020-2021 before dropping mototami, should’ve done some collabs/features and release at least 2-3 singles before rolling out the album once she fully developed her ideas for it. I do love dream-girls that’s my jam, I do like twenty somethings, and he knows but overall hit and miss with the album so far

I love BOAT. Hated drake being on it with his fake accents, being 40 and still whining about women. Her album is good. Fr! Several amazing songs. I do wish she'd fix her beautiful hair back brown and you know, go back to her normal goofy sweetheart personality

It's a cringy, awkward, hot mess of an album, yet somehow cool and fresh and weird?! I think that 8/10 is quite generous of you king,I would prob give it a 6.5, 7 if I feel generous, but I can see the appeal and there's quite a few bops all through out. The three major problems for me,1 what u said about the amount of interludes and how they don't flow throughout, 2 the production tries to be explosive and experimental but I can feel the producers toning the beat down for massive appeal, and 3 Drake (he really takes a dump an the album for me). There's magic in this album that I think will work better for me during autumn and on more gloomy days. Favorite tracks chanel No.5, He knows, Dade county dreaming, Dream-girls and June Gloom. Also, I haven't seen anyone talk about it and I didn't see anything on the credits, but June Gloom has to be an interpolation or a sample or something of Love by Lana, right? I'm not going crazy, right?!😂

Wait I hear the Lana interpolation a little bit! I genuinely was kinder mainly because of the Miami setting and the swings she took, like she hit most of them maybe not out of the park but at least did hit some marks well.

i did not go into this album with an open mind, but i actually thought it was pretty good. although it does seem fundamentally similar to brat, i do like it and i plan on coming back to it.

Never cared much for Camila, she got extremely lucky with the success of the forever iconic Havana but outside of that and gaining the friendship of Taylor Swift, I never really understood her appeal. I agree that the album is no way competing against Charli XCX but she definitely got my attention in wanting to check it out with this new image.

Tbh I think it’s barely in Charli’s wheelhouse let alone a direct Brat competitor but it’s a solid effort
