Read more about Camila Cabello’s forthcoming era… Speaking to Puss Puss, Camila said that she felt the need to change her appearance before kicking things off. “I feel like I needed to have a different physical appearance, something different to kind of help me channel that energy that I accessed in my songwriting voice more.” she said. She described the change as “chaotic and brave.” Reinvention is a driving concept that plays out across her new music, too. While she opted out of naming a specific theme that inspired her, Camila said that love plays a role. Only, not in the traditional sense. “It’s me sitting with this feeling of understanding that I feel really confused as a 26-year-old who I really felt I was in love with this person. Now I feel kind of lonely and small and weird, but at the same time, I’m an adult and I feel so strong in other areas of my life, but not this one. There’s just the wrestling of those feelings without it being kind of neat or in a box. You can’t really say that it’s a sad song, you can’t really pin it down. It’s just kind of me wrestling with these feelings and me kind of being really present on a particular feeling and exploring it. I feel like a lot of songs on the album are that,” she said. Camila also explained that her hometown Miami, Florida inspired the project. “I feel like this album is kind of a love letter to Miami, it’s definitely been a safe haven for me. Anytime as crazy as life gets, I know I always go there and it’s real. It’s just like my real friends from when I was eight years old. My family, I still have family that’s coming from Cuba. It just keeps me very real and grounded,” she said. Did you see that Camila sparked romance rumors with an A-list musician late last year? One of her Fifth Harmony sisters announced plans for their new album this week, too.
