Camila Cabello has released another single from her self-titled debut album.
Last night (October 8) saw the release of "Consequences (Orchestra)," a slow-burning ballad that will serve as the singer-songwriter's final offering from Camila. It's a daring move, especially for someone who has delivered dance-worthy bops time and time again. However, Cabello took to Instagram to defend her decision.
"A lot of people say ballads like this are 'risky' and with every single i’ve picked i get looks like i have three heads, because people always want you to go with a song that sounds like something that’s already on the radio," the 21-year-old wrote. "It would be playing it safe for me to make a song that sounds like Havana or another uptempo song, but to me, my goal is to challenge myself by not doing what feels predictable or obvious, to do things that excite me, and give you the most honest representation of who I am through music."
She continued: "I know sometimes it’ll work and other times it’ll fail, but thats okay with me. … i wanted to close this era finishing on a song that makes … you think about what it’s like to love someone so deeply."
The former Fifth Harmony member also shared visuals from the song's upcoming music video, which stars actor Dylan Sprouse and premieres Wednesday (October 10). She hinted at its release last week after mailing fans special packages to promote the track.
Cabello will also perform the record at the 2018 American Music Awards, where she's nominated for several prizes. The 2018 AMAs broadcast live at 8 PM ET on ABC.
