The dramatic departure of Fifth Harmony's Camila Cabello couldn't have come at a riskier time for the girl group: Last year, mega-hit "Work From Home" became their first Top 10 single, establishing the group as a Top 40 force to be reckoned with. Now a foursome, they have learned what works: a healthy dose of danger mixed with ego-boosting empowerment anthems. They keep spirits and energy high with muted trop house and hip-hop beats on their third album.
Sexy lead single "Down," featuring Gucci Mane, sets the tone while the Skrillex and Poo Bear-produced "Angel" goes hard with heavy bass and trap-leaning hi-hats as the singers ask for complexity: "When you look at me, what do you see?/I'm more brilliant than you'll ever be." Elsewhere, they instigate a party on the raucous "Sauced Up" and assert themselves in romantic relationships with infectious jams like "Make You Mad" and "Don't Say You Love Me." It's the group's most cohesive album yet and a satisfying introduction to what Fifth Harmony can be capable of in their new era.
第五和谐的Camila Cabello戏剧性地离开了,这对女孩群体来说是一个风险更大的时刻:去年,“在家工作”的大热门单曲成为他们的第一个前10名单曲,成为了被认为是前40强的团体。现在已经有四个人了,他们已经知道了什么是可行的,一剂健康的危险混合着刺激的赋权颂歌。在第三张专辑中,他们保持着活力和活力,拥有柔和的trop house和嘻哈乐。
性感的铅制单曲“Down”,以Gucci鬃毛为特色,奠定了基调,而Skrillex和便便熊制作的“天使”则以沉重的低音和斜视的高顶帽子而努力,因为歌手们要求复杂:“当你看着我的时候,你看到了什么?”/我比你更聪明。在其他地方,他们在一个喧闹的“索性”的聚会上鼓动一个聚会,并声称自己在与传染性的“让你发疯”和“别说你爱我”这样的传染性果酱的恋爱关系中。这是该乐队迄今为止最具凝聚力的专辑,也是对第五次和谐在新时代所能达到的一种令人满意的介绍。
