Camila Cabello’s latest update, is the “C,XOXO (Magic City Edition)” published via Polydor bringing us the new taste of her latest album. This expanded version introduces four new tracks, notably featuring “baby pink” with Eem Triplin, and other singles like “Come Show Me,” and “Can Friends Kiss?” which Cabello debuted live at Rock In Rio. Additionally, the deeply personal track “GODSPEED” complements this roster.
More On The New Album Edition
Critics have previously lauded Camila’s daring new sound on the original album. Vogue celebrated it as a home run, while Rolling Stone highlighted its fearless and feisty nature, embodying the paradoxes of late-20s life in a candy-coated pop package. Billboard noted Camila’s newfound confidence, and NME commended the album for its unique blend of emo and reggaeton, calling it a “brilliant, melancholy club banger.” “C,XOXO,” initially did not meet the commercial success expected despite critical acclaim besides the overall striking new image Cabello has revealed.
Complex and Esquire Spain acknowledged her maturity and artistic authenticity, the latter noting a career turning point aimed at making listeners dance. Paper Magazine emphasized the album’s emotional immediacy and boldness, branding it her boldest solo effort yet.
Upcoming VMA Performance
The “Magic City Edition” not only extends the sonic landscape of the original album but also taps into Camila’s Miami roots, pushing musical and visual boundaries further. This version is crafted in collaboration with producer El Guincho (known for his work with FKA Twigs and Rosalía) and co-producer Jasper Harris (Jack Harlow, Post Malone), with El Guincho also serving as the executive producer.
The accompanying music video for “GODSPEED,” directed by 91 Rules, metaphorically captures the essence of growth and the catharsis of shedding toxicity. It features Camila in a raw, vulnerable state, singing in the ocean—a fitting metaphor for change and renewal. As Camila prepares to perform at the upcoming 2024 MTV VMA’s on September 11th, fans and critics alike await to see if this new edition will elevate the album’s status in her discography and in the charts. Camilla is nominated as the Pop Artist of the year for the upcoming MTV video music awards.

Alleged Feud With Charli XCX
Recent speculation suggested a feud between Camila Cabello and Charli XCX after similarities were noted between Cabello’s “I Luv It” and Charli XCX’s 2017 song “I Got It,” both featuring a repetitive three-word chorus against a dance beat. The rumors intensified when both artists posted similar videos lip-syncing their respective songs. However, in an interview with The Independent, Cabello clarified that there was no animosity. She expressed more concern about her relationship with Charli XCX, with whom she has previously collaborated and toured during Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour. Cabello recounted that Charli XCX called her to reassure that her video response was playful, aligning with her “Brat era” rather than expressing any real anger. Cabello dismissed the musical similarities as minor and emphasized mutual respect and admiration between the two, highlighting that such comparisons are actually compliments. Both artists continue to celebrate each other’s work, dispelling any notion of a real dispute.
Meanwhile, fans have expressed disappointment over Charli XCX being snubbed from the VMAs nominations, adding another layer of complexity to the artists’ current spotlight.
