This Is The Remix! Camila Cabello’s “Consequences” Now Has An Orchestra Sound: Song Premiere

I don’t mind Camila Cabello releasing “Consequences” as the next and final single from her solo debut album – I love the song – but I’m not sure how necessary was this brand new “orchestra” version. I mean, I do hear the new instruments and they sound pretty and make the song sound a little more “epic” if you will, but I feel like the original, piano-only version was perfection already and it made Camila express more vulnerability, which essentially is the big seller of the song, but she decided to make this decision and I respect it. She wanted “Consequences” to have an orchestra and she’s done that. The final product is still pretty, this new version will be the one sent to radios, this version will be the one featured in the official music video (premiering on Wednesday) and this new version will be the one Camila performs tonight at the 2018 American Music Awards. So, yes, you can expect to see a big orchestra behind Camila tonight.

STREAM NEW VERSION

I forgot how much I love the lyrics of this song. “Loving you was young, and wild, and free / Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet / Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound / A steady place to let down my defenses / But loving you had consequences / Hesitation, awkward conversation / Running on low expectation / Every sign that I was ignoring / I'm paying for it”. That chorus is as real as life gets.

a new version of consequences called consequences (orchestra) is gonna come out tomorrow night at midnight ET, and it’s going to be the song I choose as my last single from my album- 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. 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. i know sometimes it’ll work and other times it’ll fail, but thats okay with me. no matter what this song does, i wanted to close this era finishing on a song that makes you feel, that makes you think about someone you loved and lost, that makes you think about what it’s like to love someone so deeply. if this era tugs on your heart strings even a little bit, that’s all i care about. the video comes out very soon and it’s the one I’m proudest of so far, and I’ll be performing this at the AMA’s in a couple days. love only, Camila
