Camila Cabello has offered the clearest update yet on her next album, revealing that fans can expect new music in 2027. Speaking on the red carpet at the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards on November 12, the singer also teased a return to the Latin influences that have shaped her identity.
“I’m working on new songs. Next year, some things will be released. I’m excited!” Cabello told reporters, confirming that her next material is on the way after months of relatively limited updates about her recording process.

She also offered a glimpse into the sound and cultural influences informing the new music, describing it as a reflection of her Cuban, Mexican and American backgrounds. “There’ll be, you know, a little of that Latin flavor,” she said. “You know, I’m a mix of all these things, so my music is like that too, a mix of my Cuban identity, my Mexican identity, my American identity, everything.”
The comments mark Camila Cabello’s first substantial public update on new music since July 21, when she shared a humorous post about trying to balance album sessions with her enthusiasm for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. At the time, she joked about losing her voice while cheering at matches and then having to sing the following day to continue writing her album.
Behind those posts, however, work on her fifth studio album was already underway. Earlier in July, Cabello shared photos from the studio with Aaron Dessner, whose recent collaborators include Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams and The National. The images prompted speculation about a possible shift toward a more organic and introspective sound, particularly following the experimental direction of her previous album, C,XOXO. Cabello has not confirmed whether Dessner will feature on the final project.
Released in June 2024, C,XOXO marked a notable creative departure for the singer, blending pop with electronic and alternative influences. The album debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, earning 36,500 equivalent album units in its first week. Its release followed a run of singles including “I Luv It,” featuring Playboi Carti, “He Knows” with Lil Nas X and “Hot Uptown” featuring Drake.
