The mid-tempo rhythm and the romantic undertones in the lyrics of these two songs show a more introspective side to the pop band, which feels refreshing in the midst of their banging power hits. A similar formula works successfully later when “Gonna Get Better” opens with a romantic guitar intro before moving into the vaguely reggaeton-inspired beats. The track still carries on with the subtle tropical beats trend, which flourishes as the song progresses – an unsurprising feat considering the song was co-produced by one of the big names in tropical EDM Kygo. The notably acoustic spin on “Write On Me” shows a new dimension to the girl band’s musical style. Fifth Harmony are in their most sensual and naughty mode ever with the coy lyrics asking their lover not to leave for work and instead, as they euphemistically put it, to “work from home.” The guest rap adds just the right amount of flavor and variety before the girls flawless harmonize the track to completion. Moving into the record’s lead single, the omnipresent hit “Work From Home,” featuring Tyga Dolla $ign, the album slows things down, showcasing the ladies’ vocals on top of minimal tropical beats. It kicks things off with its great energy, but it’s otherwise unimpressive. Opener “That’s My Girl” start off with banging beats backed up by horns that you can easily strut to on your morning commute. 7/27, named after the date the band was officially formed, firmly solidifies the girls’ pop star status with massive hooks, vibrancy and of course harmony, yet it fails to offer anything beyond perfectly executed mainstream pop music even when they notably slow the tempo and open up in their lyrics. The all-girl band, including Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, Camila Cabello and Dinah Jane, has fully matured into a full-blown pop sensation backed up by big-time producers and collaborators. Fifth Harmony’s sophomore studio album 7/27 is one of the most anticipated releases of the year and with reason.
