Camila Cabello's "Sultry, Smooth" Debut Album Sounds Amazing
We're calling it: 'Into It' is going to be bigger than 'Havana'...
With just eight days to go until Camila Cabello's solo debut finally drops, a track-by-track preview has hit the net and it sounds incredible.
The singer's album was originally scheduled to be released last September with an entirely different title, concept and lead single, so fans have no idea what to expect when they finally hear it next Friday.
Thankfully, we have a better idea of what the 10-track set will sound like after The Sun were given an exclusive listen to Camila.
Got your chemicals all in my veins
Feeling all the highs, feeling all the pain
Let go on the wheel, it's the bullet lane
Now I'm seeing red, not thinking straight
Blurring all the lines, you intoxicate me
Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need
Yeah, you're all I need
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
Sneaking in L.A. when the lights are low
Off of one touch, I could overdose
You said, "Stop playing it safe, girl"
"I wanna see you lose control"
Just like nicotine, heroin, morphine
Suddenly, I'm a fiend and you're all I need
All I need
Yeah, you're all I need
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
You're in my blood
You're in my veins
You're in my head (I blame)
You're in my blood
You're in my veins
You're in my head (I'm sayin')
I'm saying it's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame (you're to blame)
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never be the same
It's you, babe
And I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe
And I could try to run, but it would be useless
You're to blame
Just one hit of you, I knew I'll never, ever, ever be the same
Describing the theme of the album as "lust and heartbreak over a partner no one even knew Camila had", there seems to be a balance of sexy uptempos and emo ballads on the album.
'Havana' isn't the only banger on the album, as 'She Loves Control' and 'Inside Out' are described as 'sultry' and 'bouncy' tracks with 'thumping basslines' and 'playful lyrics'.
As though these two didn't sound exciting enough, the album closer 'Into It' is said to be the "sexiest tune" of all and it sounds hella raunchy.
Co-written by the iconic Justin Tranter, the lyrics are quoted as "I see a king size bed in the corner / We should get into it." ¡Ay ay ay!
With Tranter being one of the masterminds behind Selena Gomez's 'Hands To Myself', this could be a huge moment for our girl CC.
Besides the Young Thug-assisted 'Havana', there are no features on Camila's debut, allowing her to shine through as she should, although she worked on the material in the studio with the likes of Diplo, Charli XCX and Pharrell.
While most of the song credits have been revealed, it's still unknown who is behind 'All These Years' and 'She Loves Control' so hopefully one of them is one of the songs Camila made with Miss XCX.
The latest snippet to be released during 16 Days Of Camila is 'She Loves Control' and we can confirm it does indeed sound like an absolute banger.
Boy, we cannot wait to hear this album!
