Since defecting from the girl group Fifth Harmony in 2016, Camila Cabello’s had a dynamite solo career full of sweet and sexy pop hits that show off her impressive vocals and unique style. She’s had chart-topping smash hits like “Havana” and “Senorita” make her name known around the world, collaborated with a number of other high-profile artists, toured with megastar Taylor Swift, and more in her short but wildly successful solo career.

Cabello’s debut album, which she released in early 2018, was a hot and emotionally moving collection of carefully crafted songs. Her latest releases include the hot summer hit “Senorita” featuring her now-boyfriend Shawn Mendes, and two new singles she released earlier this month to kick off the era of her upcoming sophomore album Romance. Here’s our breakdown of Cabello’s latest work and a few more favorites:

“Shameless” (2019)

Cabello goes a little darker than usual with “Shameless.” It’s just the right amount of haunting and desiring, with a bass-heavy chorus that accents the repeated line “I need ya more than I want ya.” Cabello has said Romance will be all about falling in love, but this single proves she’ll get a little steamier than confessing about a crush.

“Liar” (2019)

Cabello’s always embraced her Latin roots through her music, but lately she’s seemed to use that Spanish influence to make her sound stand out. “Liar” has a definite Latin dance beat and her slight accent throughout makes it feel fun and spicy. The lyrics are all about crushing and getting that one person stuck in your head, but the music video is a wonderful, hilarious theatrical production all about honesty and authenticity.

“Never Be the Same” (2018)

“Never Be the Same”, a single from Cabello’s first solo album, is a slow and sexy jam. Her falsetto high notes sound like desire and the melody feels like love. Some loves leave you changed, and some songs do, too.

“Consequences” (2018)

Cabello is her most emotional self and her most vocally impressive in “Consequences.” It gives the gritty details of heartbreak, putting into words what it feels like to remember the good and bad after love goes away. It’s a raw expression of hurt punctuated by big notes and a moving melody.

“Inside Out” (2018)

Although it didn’t make the cut as a single or earn a music video, “Inside Out” is a fun and playful song and a sure highlight on Cabello’s self-titled debut. With a tropical rhythm complete with steel drums and sweet but sexy lyrics, it’s a danceable, flirty delight.
