Reflection

In the three years since these vocalists stepped off the X Factor stage, we’ve fallen for their collaboration as Fifth Harmony. They followed the girl-power pop anthem “BO$$” with the sing-along electro-pop jam “Sledgehammer” and toured with the likes of Cher Lloyd, Demi Lovato, and Austin Mahone. Their full-length debut is a colorful blast of attitude-packed R&B pop, spiced up with flirty rhymes (“Them Girls Be Like”), Mariah Carey samples (the ultra-catchy "Like Mariah”), and guests including Kid Ink, Tyga, and Meghan Trainor. It’s the tunes when the distinct singers lean into lush vocal harmonies—“Reflection,” "This Is How We Roll,” “We Know"—where the album really shines.
