Hey everyone! I've created this blog to share my love and passion for Fifth Harmony. I've been with them since X Factor and it's so beautiful seeing them transform as grown women slaying the music industry. Keep up with this blog for everyday-Fifth Harmony posts :D Please come back for more posts!
Fifth Harmony has left us harmonizers worrying this February. Why? Because the five ladies of the quintet kept quiet about literally everything on their upcoming single and second full-length album. But guess what!? On the night of February 24th, the ladies excited their fans by announcing the title and release date for their next album. They also confirmed their upcoming single will be released tomorrow, February 26th.
(To view the announcement video, click the link beside 'May 20th')
The name of the album is called 7/27, in honour of the date the girls were put together on The X Factor. The girls have come a long way, and it makes sense to pay homage to how it all started. 7/27 is set to be released May 20th, and that is a very reasonable date. In an interview, Camila said the group has finished 99% of the album. It's just a matter of finalizing the tracklist for their album and making some finishing touches. So two months of finalization is a lot of time, unlike what happened in 2014-2015 with their debut album Reflection. Hopefully the date of May 20th will not be pushed back because that seems far enough already.
'Work From Home' is being released tomorrow and I could not be more excited! I got my credit card ready y'all! I'm just a the point of hoping and praying this single is what we've all been waiting for, a song which will finally showcase their vocal abilities. But by the looks of it, people are saying it's a cross between Worth It and another 5H single......
(P.S. people been sayin that the music video will be released the same time as the single, so let's HOPE and PRAY <3)
The girls of 5H are set to appear at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California on the After Oscar Show hosted by Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan from the talk show Live! with Kelly & Michael. Fifth Harmony appeared on their show earlier in 2015 to promote their international hit Worth It and debut album Reflection. It's reported that the girls will perform the lead single Work From Home (releasing Feb. 26, 2016) on the show to promote it and to promote their upcoming sophomore album 7/27 (releasing May. 20, 2016).
It seems like the girls have decided to hang out in L.A. for a while. Ever since the time of the Grammys, the girls have been enjoyin' time in California as they prepare to promote their new era. Who's excited for this new era of 5H and their appearance on the After Oscar Show this upcoming Monday? I know I am <3
Fifth Harmony's new single is called 'Work From Home'!!!!! SO EXCITED! Fifth Harmony didn't announce the name....... some radio station DJ posted on their website and were supposed to announce that the single was comin' out Friday, but instead of saying 'single', they accidentally forgot about secrecy and put in 'Work From Home'.
Well, I don't blame the Radio Station for leaking the name. 5H shoulda announced it like last week..... I don't know why they didn't promote over the past weekend. It's confirmed they will be at a radio station answering questions, not sure if it's about the single though. #4DaysUntilWorkFromHome has been trending recently and is one of the top worldwide trends as I'm typing this! WHO'S EXCITED!?!?!?!
On the February 16th, 2016 edition of the Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, Camila performed with the sweet and kind Shawn Mendes, who earlier apologized to Ellen for not thanking her at the People's Choice. Ellen didn't even expect him to apologize or anything or to even think about thanking her for his win, and a lot of people in the crowd just fell in love with how humble Shawn was.
Back to Camila, this is her first appearance on Ellen without fellow Fifth Harmony members Ally, Normani, Lauren and Dinah. Camila and Shawn performed their collaborative Top 20 hit 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and put on a fun performance for the audience. Check out the interview with Shawn Mendes and the performance!
Interview With Shawn
'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Performance (Camila & Shawn)
The 58th Annual Grammy Awards was a spectacular night where many artists are rewarded for their work in the music industry. There were also some spectacular performers including 'Album of the Year' recipient Taylor Swift, 'Best New Artist' nominees James Bay and Tori Kelly, Ellie Goulding, Andra Day, Pentatonix and Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar and many more. But personally, I loved the Tori Kelly and James Bay collaboration since I'm a big fan of both of these two artists. The mix of both 'Let It Go' and 'Hollow' was so beautiful. Tori's runs are so amazing and sends chills throughout the audience. Check it out below!

After the Grammys was over, it was one night to remember as many artists set out to party all night long for celebration. Although Fifth Harmony didn't attend the Grammys (don't understand why they couldn't.... maybe because of Lauren's knee infection?), four of them set out to celebrate with fellow artists at Grammy After Parties! But, the four I'm talking about weren't all together. Camila hopped into a van with the likes of her bestie Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding and Lorde and headed to the Universal Music Group's After Party. At the Universal After Party, Camila got to hang out with celebrities and artists like L.A. Reid, Daya, Calvin Harris and Meghan Trainor.

And on the red carpet for the Universal Music Group Grammy After Party, Chelsea Briggs from Hollywire TV managed to interview Camila for a couple of minutes and asking about the Grammys, #5H2 and her appearance on Ellen with Shawn Mendes. One thing to note is that it's odd that it's all been so scrambled and possibly unorganized lately if Camila doesn't even know if a release date for their upcoming single has been announced, which it has.... Check it out below!
While Camila was partying it up at one of the Grammy After Parties in Los Angeles, 3/5 of 5H decided to go together to attend other parties in L.A. as well. Apparently, Dinah, Ally and Normani went to the Sony Grammy After Party, but after 10 minutes they left to party at Republic Records' Grammy After Party. The three ladies were able to hang out with stars like Tori Kelly, Rachel Platten and Shawn Mendes.

Sadly, Lauren couldn't party at all that night with her fellow 5H members due to her knee infection, but reports say that she's doing fine with her healing process. To be safe, I guess she had to stay away from too much action on one of the biggest nights in the music industry. But why did 3/5 of 5H go to one party and Camila went to another? Maybe the others agreed that it was okay if Camila wanted to hang out with her other musical besties and friends, but I believe that if they are a group they should stick together. When 5H starts appearing on their own, it's the cause of many harmonizers and 5H fans freaking out about signs of a breakup or a solo career for Camila. I definitely do think most harmonizers over-react when 1/5 of the group appears on their own or 3/5 appears without the other two. Although, I'd prefer to the girls showing unity and standing together to showcase the group as a whole.
Thanks for reading! Feel free to comment if you'd like and I'll be posting more blog posts soon!
Above is a full demo of Fifth Harmony's could've-been track on their debut album 'Reflection'. It's called 'Goodbye' and several harmonizers believed this is the new mature sound 5H was talking about. But no, it was just a potential track for Reflection which was never picked up. Although, this song is so perfect and displays true-real emotions from the girls. Give it a listen if you haven't yet! Won't be let down :)
Guess what harmonizers? The newest 5H single might be a lot closer than we thought! That's right, with photos from their Music Video shoots and a confirmation that some radio stations have already been given a special sneak peek of their latest track, it's possible that the single will be out in the last week of February!
The newly created buzz recently for #5H2 started up again in the end of January 2016 and beginning of February 2016 after 3-4 months of the Fifth Harmony members spending some quality family time and a much needed break after almost 8 months of touring, attending awards show, promoting singles and making special guest appearances in several talk shows. The five girls reunited and took a group photo in a desert setting with a sunset and posted on their Fifth Harmony social media sites 'Back to Work' on January 29th, 2016.
I'm very sure that to this day, they have finished recording all of their potential #5H2 tracks. Most of the recording seems to have been done in late 2015 in October and November before they set out to conquer Europe for their European Reflection Tour. So they are in the stage of preparing how to go about promoting their upcoming singles and their new album and finalizing the tracklist. We all know how excruciating it was waiting for them to 'finalize' their tracklist for the Reflection Album back in Fall 2014. Then it got pushed.... and pushed.... and pushed.... until it finally came upon is February 3rd, 2015...... So this is the reason why this time around, we don't have an actual date to look forward to. We're just stuck with the word 'soon' until they're comfortable with officialising a date for the release. Which is pretty understandable in terms of the tragic state all of us harmonizers were in during the Reflection Era....
So anyways, back to the big anticipation for 5H's upcoming single! Turns out that all along for the past two weeks, the girls were already on the set of their new music video and taking photos for the cover art of the new album! The shoot for the music video took place on February 8th and it may already be done right now! Check out some photos from the 5H music video!
