Camila Cabello Covers Billboard Magazine
Camila Cabello is on the cover of Billboard magazine. The young singer is on the cover to promote her new album, C,XOXO. Highlights from her interview are below.
On the vibes of her new album: “The voice that I found with my new album has this big baddie energy vibe. Part of that spirit is taking risks, not giving a f–k and doing whatever you want. I think the blonde was me staying true to that feeling. With the hair, it was like, ‘How do I tell people, visually, that this is my new era?’ Sometimes you need the physicality to let them know, ‘Oh, this is a new thing, a new character.'”
On her single, “I Luv It: “The unpredictability of it is so different for me. It’s such a kick-the-door-down moment, sonically, that it makes me feel strong and powerful. At least for me, in this stage of my life, it would feel so unfulfilling to just have a song that was big but felt like something that I’ve already done before. That brings me no joy. I would rather have a song that’s weird and be new territory to me.”
On collaborating with Drake: “He’s the f–king GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars. I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
