    The group’s power has always come from its Spice Girls-like ability to form a massive unit of self-actualization, and the peppy 7/27 has no shortage of that, both lyrically and musically.

    The sassy girl-power proclamations and gleefully unsubtle double-entendres that elevated the group’s 2015 debut, Reflection, are largely pushed aside for mid-tempos about romance and intimacy. Deep, vulnerable, personal--these were some of the quintet’s stated goals for 7/27. It’s not a bad look by any means.

    7/27 mostly rises to the occasion.

    Ultimately, while 7/27 isn't quite as loose or as fun as one might hope, Fifth Harmony prove they can balance youthful swagger with grown-up sophistication.

    Finally, albeit in flashes, there are hints that Fifth Harmony may reach that peak.

    Fifth Harmony’s talents do get their shine in spots of this front-loaded hodgepodge.

    The second Fifth Harmony LP isn't a massive step forward, but with a constant bombardment of hooks, high energy and incredible harmony there's not much time to catch your breath to compare.

    Com melodias menos genéricas mas seguindo o que está na moda nos dias de hoje, o Tropical House, e com composições mais trabalhadas, 7/27Com melodias menos genéricas mas seguindo o que está na moda nos dias de hoje, o Tropical House, e com composições mais trabalhadas, 7/27 demonstra realmente que Fifth Harmony amadureceu de um álbum para o outro, não tirando os méritos do Reflection, porém, 7/27 realmente demonstra a "cara" das garotas do Fifth Harmony. Destaques: All In My Head (Flex) que tendo Dinah e Lauren como vocais principais trouxe um amadurecimento bastante notório para a faixa; No Way com Lauren comandando os vocais foi genial, seus vocais mais "obscuros" trouxeram um intimismo sem tamanho para a música; Gonna Get Better demonstrou toda a potência vocal e a emoção que a voz de Ally pode ter e transmitir e I Lied que houve uma sincronia harmônica dos vocais incrivelmente surpreendedora.… Full Review »
