Yup. Less than a month away from the album's release, the girls that make up Fifth Harmony are making sure that their fans are still satisfied after "Sledgehammer" exploded all over the radio. This time we get to hear "Worth It" featuring rapper Kid Ink. Is the song worth it, though?
The song really stumbles from the gate. I really didn't care much for the opening rap section. It really distracts from the song, and the sandwich style raps (opening with one and closing with another) really turn me off from music. The chorus is also rather blah-worthy seeing as its a mess of trumpets in a very jazz meets R&B style that doesn't set well with the listener.
I would really think this song was entirely a lost cause, but the pre-chorus and the verses are more R&B and less jazz, which is the direction the group has been going in lately, and it works. I wish the whole song was like this part of the song. Their harmonies are spot on, and their vibe is strong. Unfortunately this is only for about 1/3 of the track.
Is "Worth It" a lost cause? Maybe. Then again, I really didn't like "Them Girls Be Like" all that much the first time I listened to it, but it grew on me. Fortunately it looks like they won't be spending time on this as a single, which gives me hope for the rest of the album. They are three for four on the tracks they've revealed so far, which is a good sign. Let's hope for the best for Reflection.
You can get the song on iTunes now. If you preorder today, you get both singles ("BO$$" and "Sledgehammer") as well as "Them Girls Be Like" and "Worth It", the so called promotional singles.

Fifth Harmony Reveals Track List For "Reflection"
I. Couldn't. Be. Any. More. Excited. Rightnow. Oh my GOD! I have been a secret (?) Fifth Harmony mega fan since practically forever, and the wait for a full album from them has been agonizingly long. They finally broke the Billboard charts, and now they are ready to drop their album. And it's about time seeing as it got pushed back over and over. Anyway, look at this picture!
To this day I see it as a national tragedy that we got this hideous cover instead of the original album cover they had chosen. They say that their fans demanded it, but honestly on Twitter I just saw them reveal it, not get that many RTs or whatever, and immediately change it.
Oh well.
Anyway, here's the track listing in all of it's glory.
01. Top Down
02. BO$$
03. Sledgehammer
04. Worth It
05. This Is How I Roll
06. Everlasting Love
07. Like Mariah
08. Them Girls Be Like
09. Reflection
10. Suga Mama
11. We Know
12. Going Nowhere (Deluxe)
13. Body Rock (Deluxe)
14. Brave, Honest, Beautiful
I am so excited to hear some of these. "Like Mariah" sounds like an instant classic, and "This Is How I Roll" has a lot of promise with it as well. We have, however, heard a few of these songs we have heard due to them being performed on their recent tours, most notably "Reflection" which has had a pirated video floating around YouTube (and no, I won't like to it. I'm not about that life). They also released a promotional single for people who preordered the track on iTunes, "Them Girls Be Like."
This only makes me more excited for this release. With two strong singles under their belt already and more than likely another single to come, this album is going to dominate the first half of 2015.
If they release it in the first half.
The new new release date for it is February 3, 2015. Let's pray this one is for real.

Fifth Harmony (Finally) Lets Info Slip On New Album
Now let me tell you. If they hadn't just released a single, I would start to think that "Reflection" was just a hoax. These girls have pushed back this album twice already, and we haven't gotten so much as a tracklisting. Really, all we have to go on are the singles, the free iTunes track, and the cover art (which looks pretty meh in my opinion). BUT NO MORE! Thanks to PopCrush, we have much more info straight from the girls' mouths.
Once again, my gurl Camila takes the lead and is one to explain all about the new single "Sledgehammer". To be honest, I really didn't care much for the single, especially compared to "BO$$", but it is still a very polished and strong track, so I can see why they would put it out. We got the video earlier this week, and it made up for some of my initial dislike for the song, but from what I've heard form the live performances, there will be better tracks.
And according to the girls themselves, there are more gems in store for us fans. First off, there is a track with a "big feature", and another that samples Tupac. Damn, girls. We also got a few song titles such as "Reflection" (duh), "Going Nowhere", and "You Know". We also learned that the song is full of "throw backs" and "jams".
Tacked onto the end of the video is a question about how they decide who sings lead. Well obviously they just throw Camila in there! But in reality, as much as I love her and love her singing voice, I hope that some of the other girls get their time in the spotlight on the upcoming album.
To recap, all we know about the album so far is that it has been rescheduled for January 27th, 2015 and that it's a total jam. This was well worth your time, wasn't it?
Preorder the album on iTunes now and get both the singles ("BO$$" and "Sledgehammer") as well as an album-only song called "Them Girls Be Like".

Album Review - Fifth Harmony "Better Together"
Fifth Harmony is my secret obsession. I may not have been into X Factor, but I can say that these five girls have some serious talent. They have been all over the Disney Channel, and they are besties with Demi Lovato, but now is the time for them to shine on their own. Let's check out Fifth Harmony's debut EP, Better Together.
