Feeling as though she made a career shift with the release of the album’s first single "Don't Go Yet,” Camilla expressed that working on that track made her feel as if she finally "became an adult,” and also helped her realize her desire of making an album as "vivid as our culture."
Noting, “All of these new aspects come from me wanting to know who I am and who I want to be.”
As Camila continued to explain, working on Familia helped her establish balance in her identity. "The strong bond I have with my Mexican and Cuban cultures makes me feel like I have a home and that inspires me. For me, writing in Spanish has to come from wanting to create an authentic connection with people.”
More than that, writing the album also proved to be a cathartic process for Camila to deal with what she "was experiencing at the time," which aside from self-discovery, was a breakup from boyfriend Shawn Mendes.
"It was really an evolution of my feelings and my life... I was in a relationship and then I wasn't," she said, revealing a different mood is captured with each song on the album. "My songs are to make me feel better, I wonder how I feel and start creating. It is processing and alchemizing my feelings.”
Noting that, "Music is the most sacred relationship for me, all it asks of me is to be honest, and if I am, what I receive is magic.”
Camila also shared that her favorite song on the album is "Psychofreak" because she sings about "the craziest and deepest thoughts I have when it comes to being in a relationship with someone... I bare my soul.”
Ughh, can’t wait! Familia arrives April 8.
