Just Give In to Camila Cabello’s Pitbull Sample
Yes, that’s “Hotel Room Service” on “B.O.A.T.,” and it’s wonderful.
Her fourth album, C,XOXO, is full of left turns — a Charli-via-Gucci pivot on lead single “I Luv It,” two whole Drake appearances — but the biggest might be the Pitbull sample on “B.O.A.T.” After the chorus, about all the things her ex never told her ( looking at you, Shawn), you hear a faint synth line and think, Is that …? C,XOXO sure seemed scattered prerelease, with Cabello dyeing her hair blond and spinning her hands at Coachella with Lana Del Rey. Cabello worked with producers El Guincho and Jasper Harris on a beat-driven, sample-rich album that reflects her city’s melting pot of hip-hop, club, and Latin trap music; more than a few songs sound like lost cuts from the Spring Breakers soundtrack.Of course this album was going to reference Mr. 305 — andsowhat if it’s on one of the most intimate tracks?
