Fifth Harmony's New Album To Be Released In MAY 20th / First Review Of Lead Single OUT! (Bad News For Lauren's Fans...)
Reliable entertainment website Fuse.tv has heard the new Fifth Harmony single “Work From Home”, watched the music video, and moreover, they have exclusive information about the girl group’s upcoming “era” - all thanks to a good contact at Epic Records apparently.
To start, here they talk about the release date of Fifth Harmony’s yet-untitled second studio album:
“"Work From Home" will be revealed on Friday, February 26, alongside pre-order for 5H's new album slated for mid-May. Stay tuned for Fuse for more insider information about the album (yes, we heard more songs!) and interviews with the group coming soon.”
May will be the month of release. Only 3 months left! Woot! Woot!
Update: The album is out May 20th!
With respect to the lead single "Work From Home”, which premieres tomorrow (Feb. 25) on radio, here’s a first review of it:
“"Work From Home" will be the lead single off the quintet's upcoming sophomore album. The song kicks off with a slinky, synthy beat that sees the girls cooing "come hither" invitations and singing how there's "nothing but sheets between us." That's all before moving into the repetitive, addictive chorus: "You don't gotta do work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work / Let my body do the work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work" that grows with intensity as the ladies harmonize on subsequent sections. Guaranteed: It will get stuck in your head.”
It sounds exciting but WTF at Lauren getting pushed to the side again.
She’s one of the best vocalist in the group and she should definitely be singing more! not the other way around! Do you also think she should go solo after this second album?
By the way, the featured rapper is confirmed, and unfortunately it is not J. Cole, but Ty Dolla Sign. Apparently L.A Reid wanted to keep the same formula of “Worth It”, that being making the girls share the spotlight with a well-known rapper.
"Similarly to the group's breakout smash "Worth It," the track is a mix of pop and hip-hop, and also brings a male on board: This one seeing the girls teaming up with Ty Dolla $ign."
About the music video for "Work From Home”, Fuse.tv says it will be reminiscing to Ciara’s video for her song “Work”.
“Fuse also got to see the music video for "Work From Home," which feels like a slight hat tip to Ciara's "Work" video as the girl rock feminine, construction-inspired outfits while dancing amid beefcakes trying to build a house. In particular, Normani Kordei's look recalls CiCi's tank-top-and-jeans combo, even wearing similar glasses, while Ally Brooke Hernandez looks stunningly more mature. If Harmonizers were worried about Lauren's lack of solo time in the actual "Work From Home" song, they'll be happy to hear that she's essentially positioned as the main dancer in the visual, typically in the center of their formations and the main focal point of the group choreography.”
Yey at Lauren do getting some spotlight in the video.
So! I’m super excited about tomorrow. We will get the lead single and also the pre-order of the new album starts tomorrow.
The only thing that makes me a tad preoccupied is the fact that radio may be a bit saturated right now with the word “Work”. Rihanna’s new single is called “Work” and that is everywhere on radio right now. So, do you think there’ll be room for a second “Work” in the market?
