Camila Cabello Reveals Why Her Earlier Songs Aren't On The Track List For Her Debut Album

When Camila Cabello revealed the track list for her upcoming debut album late last month, many fans were surprised to see that only one of her previously released songs had made it onto the record.

There’s a reason for that — and the 20-year-old singer explained it to Zane Lowe on Beats 1′s World Record podcast.

“I think when you listen to it, it’s super cohesive and the way that the track list is it’s super cohesive sonically,” Camila says. “I really, really wanted it to be that way, you know.”

“I feel like it’s important for me as a new artist and especially people hearing ‘Havana’ and more people kind of knowing who I am; I think that it’s really important that the message is like super consistent,” she added, going on to explain that while the earlier songs she released were her then, they don’t reflect who she is now.

Camila adds, “So even if other songs like ‘OMG’ or ‘Questions’ or ‘Crying’ represented me in the beginning parts of the year; it felt I have grown and grown more as an artist and as a person. It felt like it needed to represent the most recent snapshot of my life.”

Camila will hit shelves on January 12th.
