Fifth Harmony's Newest Single is on the Rise!

Fifth Harmony's Newest Single May Be Closer Than You Think!
Video Credit: AwesomenessTV

During the rehearsals for the Finale of Dancing with the Stars (which happened yesterday with several harmonizers and members of the Kordei-Nation disappointed...), it seems interviewer Ruba Wilson managed to reveal what the GMA Performance for the GMA Summer Concert Series is really about...

Much speculation has taken place regarding Fifth Harmony's new single. After former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello dropped two terrific tracks over this past week and has been blessing our ears, several harmonizers are eager to see what Fifth Harmony will debut as a follow-up to Camila's debut without her former group members. (Check out Camila's newest tracks below!)
Crying in the Club
I Have Questions

Ever since it was announced that Fifth Harmony would perform on June 2nd on GMA next week, harmonizers have been buzzing over social media that the performance will in fact be the debut performance of their new single. It seems that Normani has confirmed in the interview above that it is in fact true (with the interviewer having a cute harmonizer freak-out then and there <3).


There are a lot more hints that Fifth Harmony is indeed releasing their new single next week, one of which may also be supported by the fact that a music video is currently in the works (confirmed by their stylist who claims this to be his 5th Fifth Harmony Music Video having worked on). Just like last year in February 2016, as harmonizers were gearing up for the release of Work From Home, the girls were working on the That's My Girl Music Video! So, if last year was any sign, the music video they're currently working on may just be for another single and totally unrelated to the lead single for #5H3. Despite this being somewhat random, the working pattern of working on a new music video just as they're preparing for the new single release like last year, could definitely be a sign.
Even with all these hints, Fifth Harmony have yet to confirm or deny these assumptions and speculations. They've constantly said that new music is coming "soon".... well, now they've changed it to "very soon" at least.... but a date hasn't been set for any music releases as of yet.... So, we still gotta wait for an actual confirmation. If Fifth Harmony or any of the girls do not post about the single this Friday or over this weekend, then we may all be getting excited over nothing....

But, even if they don't release the new single next week, we have Lauren Jauregui's new collaboration with Halsey coming out this Friday at least! Will be covering this in another post soon! HYPE! Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates!

Fifth Harmony Releasing Single in Two Weeks!?

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!

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' is on a roll, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello promoting the single for the upcoming weeks!

Who doesn't love 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'? This single has got the Mendes Army and Harmonizers going crazy, creating buzz all around the music industry. In order to make this collaboration a success, both Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello need to do a lot of promoting to make this song a hit. And it seems as though that is what they are up to, going to several radio stations to attend interviews and perform the single live on talk shows. In one of the upcoming Jingle Balls this year, both Fifth Harmony and Shawn Mendes will be present. Cabello and Mendes both confirmed they would perform the single at the Jingle Ball they were both attending, because.... well, why not? Here's an update of what has happened so far!

So at the end of October and the early weeks this November, both singers began to tease their collaboration! After several sneak peeks to build up for the release of the single(which you can check out here from one of my early posts: Sneak Peeks), the collaborative single was released November 18th, 2015. The single peaked all the way to the Top 10 and jumped from all different kinds of spots ranging from #1 to 10. Sadly, due to the release of One Direction, Adele and Justin Bieber's albums, the single dropped down to the Top 20s and 30s because of the several array of songs those artists have released.

Reasons why Fifth Harmony will be honoured as "Group of the Year" at Billboard Women in Music

  • Their music is fierce and sassy, embracing their own sexuality and being confident in their-selves

Fifth Harmony  released their debut album Reflection worldwide in early 2015 and in the U.K. in the summer this year. Their album includes many female empowerment tracks such as BO$$, Worth It, Reflection and Suga Mama. Other inspiring tracks for all individuals includes This Is How We Roll and 'Brave Honest Beautiful'. Throughout all of their songs, Fifth Harmony encourages their harmonizers and all individuals to not shy away from who they are. The girls make the most out of their songs by making their tracks realistic and relatable. Relating to the double standards for women in the world, wanting or looking for love, hanging out with friends or standing up for yourself, all of these topics are thoroughly covered in their full-length debut album. Give it a listen if you haven't already and check out the music video of BO$$ to see their empowering minds at work.


  • Fifth Harmony supports feminism and empower all youth and individuals to be themselves
 
When it comes to their fans the harmonizers, Fifth Harmony cares deeply about them and all their supporters. This can be demonstrated through their partnership with Do Something in 2014. In collaboration with the release of their single BO$$, Fifth Harmony and Do Something instilled confidence into individuals to give them the opportunity to own up to their unique qualities which make them who they are. They wanted individuals to share to the world what makes them confident and strong. Fifth Harmony's work to support their fans and individuals around them was continued this year when they were announced as ambassadors for the Cybersmile Foundation. By becoming a part of Cybersmile, they show their support of anti-cyberbullying initiatives and help victims who are facing bullying online.
Fifth harmony cares deeply about their fans and among some of the most kindest celebrities who continue to show love to their beloved fans.
 

  • Fifth Harmony were the first girl group to reach the Top 15 in the Billboard Hot 100 with their song Worth It since the Pussycat Dolls in 2009 (with their single Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny))
Fifth Harmony continued to grow increasingly popular in early 2015, but it wasn't until the official release of their single Worth It in March 2015 is when they became international pop stars. Fifth Harmony began to chart in international charts they have never reached before and all harmonizers were amazed at the girls' success. By June 2015, Worth It has surpassed their previous singles' peaks on the Billboard Hot 100 and accumulated to the Top 15 at #12! As said above, a girl group hasn't reached the top 15 since 2009! This was a breakthrough for this generation of girl groups. This keeps us wondering, will popular girl groups like 5H and Little Mix continue to further the success of girl groups in this new generation of girl groups?


  • Fifth Harmony have been certified one multi-platinum single and two platinum singles in one year
Fifth Harmony faces a rare occasion in the music industry where they received four certifications in just one year! Worth It, BO$$ and Sledgehammer were all certified platinum in June 2015. It only took two months for Worth It to accumulate another million copies sold to be certified multi-platinum! During that time in August 2015, they were only one of seven artists to be certified multi-platinum in America in 2015. Of course that will change as other artists' singles become popular as well and have the opportunity to achieve multi-platinum as well, but WOW! They will probably be the only girl group this year to achieve multi-platinum in America.

  • They have a 4x Vevo Certification for over 400 million views of their music video for Worth It.
With their music video released at the end of March 2015, Fifth Harmony took the world by storm with their empowering music. With over 400 million views in just 7 and a half months, their music video became the most-watched music video from any girl group in the world! This beats out several K-Pop and J-Pop girl groups as well!


These are all my reasons on why Fifth Harmony are being honoured as "Group of the Year". If you have any other suggestions for reasons why they are being honoured, please let me know and I'll add it!

I'm In Love With A Monster: Fifth Harmony's Latest Music (My Review)

Hey everyone! I apologize for being away from my blog for a little while but I'd like to thank ya'll for the constant views every day and I've reached over 5800 views thus far! Now that I'm back, Fifth Harmony has been killin' it lately. From performances at Reflection: The Summer Tour and other live events, to releasing two singles and two music videos and once again capturing Awards, Fifth Harmony has made it known that their careers are just gettin' started! In this post, I wanna talk about I'm In Love With A Monster. While you read this post, PLEASE read the whole post before thinking I am criticizing too harsh or I'm hatin. I have reasons and they are explained throughout the post. Enjoy my review!

One of the newest thrilling and spooky track released by the girl group as the main theme for Hotel Transylvania 2, Fifth Harmony is well on their way of expanding to different kinds of listeners. Kids will be accompanied by their guardians to see the kid-friendly movie and with the song to be featured in the movie, viewers may likely buy the Hotel Transylvania 2 Song......? Is there a reason not to? Let me break down the song and what I think of all this production and commotion for the Hotel Transylvania 2 promotional track.

First off, the song is hell-of-a-lot better than half of the songs Fifth Harmony has released. Why you may ask? The song actually lets our beautiful-ears be blessed with ALL of the voices of the girls in Fifth Harmony. Finally, management and production finally make sure all of the girls are heard. But there's one obvious mistake in this single after you hear the whole song. Lauren has way too much solos in this song. Maybe it's to forgive that she didn't get solos in 5H's most successful single to date, but Dinah didn't get a solo in BO$$ nor Sledgehammer and she was only heard in Worth It for 30 seconds. Here's how I'm In Love With A Monster has been split up in terms of time to each of the girls, according to harmonizer fans on twitter:
Lauren: 1 minute and 25 seconds Camila: 21 seconds Ally: 15 seconds Dinah: 14 Seconds Normani: 10 Seconds
I understand all you Lauren fans adore Lauren and this is great that she got to shine, but Lauren getting a solo during the first verse AND the bridge is ridiculous. Lauren's voice is also overpowered in harmonies during the chorus. Please explain why Normani and Dinah had to share a verse. Lauren, Camila and Ally all got verses and it makes no sense why Normani and Dinah couldn't get solos as well. Just give the bridge Lauren sang to Dinah and leave the first part of the second verse to Normani please.


Now down to the voices, all of the girls vocals are spot on. Despite my complaint of how terrible they split up the song, Lauren's voice does suit the song a lot. Her voice is 'smoky' and raspy and fits the mysterious and haunting atmosphere. Camila's voice definitely goes along with the pop song. She definitely adds a little fun to the single when showcases her unique voice. Dinah! She has such an amazing voice and she could possibly challenge Beyoncé or Christina Aguilera in a vocal battle because her voice is 'up there' with those powerful vocalists. Dinah's voice suits the song and the way she says monster fits the song. Although Normani is only heard 10 seconds in the song and a little in harmonies, Normani uses the time she had effectively. The small verse shows off everything in Normani's voice. From belting notes to small little riffs and runs, Normani can still put on a show with such a small amount time. Ally brings on the sass in this single. Her voice is really powerful and all you have is her voice cutting through the track, bringing more energy to the song. Overall, vocals are on point!


For lyrics, I find it fun and entertaining. This is probably one of the only times Fifth Harmony will make a song that doesn't have some kind of deep emotional meaning behind it. This song just means that some girls like bad boys or some guys like bad girls. That's all there is to it. If you're looking for more inspirational songs, listen to more of Fifth Harmony's other songs.

The music video is honestly so good. Camila named this music video her favourite one yet to make, as they let loose and become fun 'characters'. They flirt with all kinds of monsters and show off some great group choreography. They all know how to act in a way that fits with the song and the scenes. Lauren is especially mysterious with her beautiful eyes looking into the camera ;) <3


Overall, I'd give this song a 4 out of 5. The vocals are spot on and the music video is great and very 'child-friendly', but the way they split up the song among 5 vocalists is very weird. But amazing song and make sure to buy the single on iTunes and check out the music video below! Thanks for checking out my review!

Worth It Update #4

Worth It has proven me wrong! Its still got it going! After Worth It stayed in #18 last week, I predicted it would start dropping. But nope! Its still rising! In this post, I'll be talking about Worth It's success lately. Hope you enjoy!
(*Note*: For the most recent Worth It Post covering August 1st to August 6th, visit here: Worth It Update #11
June 18th, 2015)

Like I've just said, Worth It has climbed to a new spot in the Billboard Hot 100. The single has reached a new high of #15! Congratulations to Fifth Harmony on their first Top 15 hit. Think we can score Top 10, harmonizers? I think we can, because the harmonizers came through for their girls this past week by buying and gifting Worth It on iTunes to jump from #12 to #7 in matters of only a day or two! Crazy!!!! That goes to show how much Harmonizers will push through to give their girls the support they need!

On terms of other Billboard Charts, Worth It is still holding it's own! Worth It made its debut in the Billboard Adult Pop Songs Chart with #39. The single has reached a new high on the Billboard US Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs Chart, managing to leap from #9 to this week's #8. The single also reached #20 for Billboard's Radio Songs Chart and #19 for Billboard's Streaming Songs chart. The song has remained steady on some charts, not changing its position on: Billboard's Songs of the Summer (#17), Billboard's Digital Songs (#11) and Billboard's Rhythmic Songs (#20). The song has also descended into lower positions on other charts like: Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay (#19 to #20) and Billboard's On Demand Songs (From #19 to #21). Worth It may not be as successful on charts this time around, but with Harmonizers' continuing to push for their girls, you never know!

For international charts, Fifth Harmony is rising! In Canada, the song went from #21 to #16! The song has now claimed a top 10 spot at #10 for Malaysia, and still holds impressive Top 10 Peaks in other countries: Lebanon (#1), Israel (#1), Greece's Digital Songs (#6) and Luxembourg Digital Songs (#10). Worth It has been in the Top 20 for these following countries (besides Canada): Philippines (#11), Thailand (#15), Germany (#16), Belgium (#17), Indonesia (#18), Slovakia (#19) and Singapore (#20). A notable change for another international chart is France, charging from #53 to #38. Fifth Harmony is killing it internationally! To all my UK Harmonizers, don't forget that Worth It will be released this Sunday, June 21, 2015! Pre-Order it Today!

Worth It will forever be known as Fifth Harmony's breakthrough in the music industry (song-wise). The single is one of their best ever chart-performers and surpasses their previous song's peak in the Hot 100 by 15 spots. There's no question that we will be seeing more from Fifth Harmony in the future! For now, YouTube views are accumulating 1 million per day and they have reached 50 Million so far! With 500K likes, how many views will this music video reach? Check out the music video below if you haven't already. Thanks for joining me today and talk to you later!

'Worth It' Update

(*Note*: For the most recent Worth It Post covering August 1st to August 6th, visit here: Worth It Update #11
May 23rd, 2015)
Fifth Harmony is dominating the charts as of this moment. Landing their first Top 20 hit and making it their most successful single to date!

After a preordering Reflection back in January 2015, Harmonizers unlocked Worth It before the release of the much anticipated album. After the release, Worth It jumped as high as one of the Top Three singles on iTunes! After the release of the album, the song soon lost ground and dropped down the iTunes chart.

After the announcement of being their fourth single, Worth It began to gain more attention. It wasn't until their music video premiere at the Kids Choice Awards that they began to gain steam. Massing over a million views in a day, the girls began to dominate the Billboard Hot 100. After a debut of #82, the girls gradually picked up positions on the chart, leaping from positions #78, #52, #41, #39, #32, #21 and after maintaining the #21 position they grabbed onto #19 this week! It's been a crazy ride to the success of Worth it and everyone is really surprised on how much attention this song is getting. To be honest, I thought this song was okay because it was repetitive but I'm catching onto it now.....

With the success of Worth It, I truly wonder if their next single will catch on with the previous success they've been gaining in April and May. Speaking of the next single, what would you guys thin should be their next single from their album? Comment below or take the poll I made on the right :)
