Tuesday marked the release of the Colombian star’s third studio albumDe Adentro Pa Afuera, meaning from the inside out. In honor of the occasion, Camilo spoke to PEOPLE about the album’s inspiration, becoming a new parent with wife Evaluna Montaner and more.

He continues, “It was a process of celebration of a lot of feelings that I didn’t know I was capable of experiencing. It was an exploration of a lot of sides of my identity that I haven’t explored before this album, so it’s pretty exciting.”
“She is an extension of who we are. That’s a huge responsibility that comes with beautiful things, and with a lot of movement inside,” he says. Through this album, Camilo is happy he can share that insight.
The 11-track set features a wide range of collaborations — demonstrating Camilo’s willingness to explore new sounds and take a risk. From the exploration of banda with regional Mexican band Grupo Firme on “Alaska,” to working with pop princesses Camilo Cabello and Nicki Nicole — the album emits a sense of diversity. The album also features tracks with Myke Towers, Alejandro Sanz and Montaner, 25, on “Indigo.”
Montaner is a Venezuelan actress and singer herself, who Camilo says is his biggest inspiration when it comes to his music — and his fashion sense.
“For me, it’s such a privilege to learn from her, to be honest. I don’t feel comfortable wearing anything if my wife doesn’t approve it. I mean, if I’m like, ‘Bro, this jacket feels awesome,’ and Eva will say like, ‘Hmm, I’m not sure,’ I start [to doubt myself],” the “Pegao” singer says. “She’s in charge of the taste in this relationship, and I follow her. She’s so cool. She’s the director of all my music videos, of all my visual content.”
Aside from serving as an inspiration, the singer also says Montaner’s been nothing but supportive as he travels on the road for his De Andentro Pa Afuera tour, which kicked off in May. “She is the best mom I’ve ever seen in my life,” he says.
“Everybody was trying to tell me that was going to be really hard, and I wasn’t going to be able to sleep,” Camilo says.
