Fifth Harmony are continuing the X Factor tradition of runners up becoming more successful than the winners. The girls, who originally auditioned as solo artists, came in third place in the second season of the U.S version of the hit reality show. Two years later they have finally released their long awaited debut album 'Reflection'.

Following the huge success of their lead single 'BO$$' mid last year and their second single 'Sledgehammer' later in the year, I was expecting big things from the girls first album, and Reflection does not disappoint!

I was quite surprised with how much I loved the album considering I wasn't the biggest Fifth Harmony fan at first (but they've grown on me quite a bit since their album dropped). I love the blend of pop, dance and club tracks to hip hop and R&B, I only wish that they had added a few more ballads to the mix because the girls have killer vocals! 

There is not one song on the album that I can fault. 'Worth It (feat. Kid Ink)' is the third single which will be released next month, is one of the stand outs on the album and has a bit of a 'Talk Dirty' vibe to it. But my three favourite tracks are definitely 'Reflection', 'Top Down' which is such a great car jam, and the closing track 'Brave, Honest, Beautiful (feat. Meghan Trainor)'.

I love the female empowerment in the songs. Fifth Harmony are one of the leading girl bands right now spreading positivity and inspiring girls everywhere to be confident, which is very important in this day and age. 

Girl Power!
