Camilo on Working With Camila Cabello and Alejandro Sanz, and How Fatherhood Inspired His New Album, ‘De Adentro Pa’ Fuera’
variety.comThania Garcia Countless albums over the years have explored the joys and perils of becoming a parent, and “De Adentro Pa’ Fuera,” the third album from Colombian singer-songwriter and new dad Camilo is no exception. “My dad used to tell me ‘Tu vas a estrenar tu corazón cuando seas papá‘ — the moment you become a father is the moment your heart really, truly wakes up,” Camilo Echeverry, known mononymously as Camilo, tells Variety. “And he was right!
You really can’t imagine it until you have kid.” In addition to the birth of his baby girl earlier this April, the five-time Latin Grammy winner is also celebrating his return to arenas all over the U.S., with shows that are drawing families, teens and even grandparents to his a generation-spanning blend of urbano pop. “The majority of my best ideas, I truly feel as though they’ve come from some sort of outside source,” Camilo, 28, says of his songwriting. “It isn’t even an illusion of any kind, I can genuinely feel them arriving as if they were arriving ‘de afuera‘ [from the outside] and you can call it whatever you’d like — the universe, God, that creative and guiding energy, love — there is something that is writing a story and as a composer, you can let yourself be fully enveloped in it or not.
And if I try to put my ego in the middle of any of it, it doesn’t work.” While “De Adentro Pa’ Fuera” (which directly translates to “from inside out”) is grounded in his signature high vocals and tender lyrics, it also features an impressive list of collaborators.
Cuts like the bachata duet, “Ambulancia” with Camila Cabello, mark new territory for both artists while others like “Bebiendo Sola” make subtle use of reggaeton drum beats alongside Myke Towers.
