After building anticipation around the world, three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum, and chart-topping singer/songwriter Camila Cabello presents her anxiously awaited third full-length album, Familia, via Epic Records today.
To celebrate the record’s arrival, the music video for Camila’s “psychofreak” [feat. Willow] made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU and across MTV’s global network of channels, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
She set the stage for the album with “Bam Bam” [feat. Ed Sheeran]. It has already amassed over 100 million total streams and 33.4 million YouTube views on the music video. She delivered a show-stopping performance of the single on The Late Late Show with James Corden and teamed up with Sheeran for their first live rendition of “Bam Bam” together at ITV’s Concert For Ukraine.
Inciting widespread critical applause, Vulture hailed it as “a bona fide breakup bop,” and Rolling Stone raved, “Camila Cabello brought the azúcar to all the right places with the release of her salsa and cumbia-infused ‘Bam Bam’ featuring Ed Sheeran.” People praised it as “sunny” and “personal,” while fans voted it their “Favorite New Music” on Billboard.
Last night, she headlined the “Familia: Welcome to the Family” concert on her TikTok channel. It trended across the platform and included her first-ever performances of music from the record. It drew millions into its immersive experience with a virtual world for each song highlighted by jaw-dropping choreography, larger than life set design, and gorgeous costumes. It rebroadcasts tonight at 7pm ET in North America. Cheche Alara notably served as Music Producer, Music Director, and Composer of Original Score for the production and Charlotte Rutherford served as the Creative Director.
Arriving in tandem with the album, “Bam Bam” and “PsychoFreak” are custom playable songs in the world’s fastest growing new mobile music game Beatstar. This exclusive partnership heralds the arrival of Familia with the game’s music-obsessed community of 24 million strong. 2 million players have already saved “Bam Bam” to their collections, generating 7.82-plus million plays.
Through and through, Familia stands out as her most personal, passionate, and powerful body of work yet.
