Camila Cabello is carving out a new lane for herself with her forthcoming new album.

Due later this year, the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Familia’ has yet to have its title revealed but it’s clear from the singer’s visual metamorphosis that is that a reinvention is in motion.

Covering the latest issue of Paper Magazine, a newly blonde Cabello seizes the moment to open up about her incoming material, how its sound and aesthetic came about, comparisons to Pop darling Charli XCX, and more.

Head below for pics and quotes…

On Her New Sound:

“Six months [into recording], we had a couple songs and [I realized], Oh, this is a character. It became a persona that I was tapping into, which was me, but definitely a hyper-femme version of me. [I started to ask:] What are the color palettes of the world this character inhabits? What’s her hair? What’s photography like there?”

Except on Cabello’s New Album:

“Admittedly, I was initially confused, but as it played on, I became entranced by its bold abandon. The production is sparse, mainly relying on thick layers of piano and sharp-edged drums that pound with booming velocity. The writing is both diaristic, bluntly personal, and imagistic, too, offering visual impressions of Miami landscapes rather than always telling a neatly constructed story. And Cabello here sounds playful, often drenched in a robotic autotune that never hides her sprawling range. The album’s mix does not feel necessarily ready-made for the Top 40, though it’s surely set up to zoom past the Top 10.”

On the internet comparing previews of her alleged new single ‘I Luv It’ to Charli XCX:

“I love Charli and I love Charli’s music, so I think [comparing us is] a huge compliment. Charli loves me, so everybody can f*ck off.”
