Fifth Harmony are firing up the promotional campaign for her hotly anticipated sophomore album ‘7/27.’
The LP, which follows last year’s ‘Reflection,’ lands at retail on May 27th and to aid their cause, the Epic Records quintet appear on the cover of Billboard Magazine.
Beyond their striking beauty, the ‘Work From Home’ singers (who hit #6 on the Hot 100 with the song) opened up for their most candid interview yet.
Within the feature, the group wax honest about their future (amidst talk of solo projects), learning the hard way about the downsides of fame, Kanye West, and more.
Peep the quotes and pics after the jump…
On ‘7/27’ & How They’ve Grown
“We finally have a damn voice. We feel like actual artists. We were little babies in the beginning. Now we’re becoming big girls.” [Dinah]
“This is our rebirth. 727 is a jet and we’re about to take flight, know what I mean?” [Lauren]
On How Long They’ll Stay Together
“It has been an incredible journey, and it’ll continue as long as it can. But this will be that chapter that got us wherever we needed to go. We’re learning the business, meeting people we need to know, getting knowledgeable about our craft. This is basically us being in college for our majors.” [Lauren]
On The Rigours Of Touring:
“I love touring, but the schedule traumatized me. I was like, ‘What kind of job are we doing?’ I watched my great-grandmother be buried on FaceTime. We’re all so family-oriented, and we’ve all lost people on the road.” [Dinah]
On Becoming Famous Young
“They sell you this present of rainbows and butterflies, and as a 16-year-old that’s what I bought. It’s why I did X Factor and why I ended up in a group. But then you’re working so hard, so young. [Meanwhile] my friends are in college, telling me about their days and what they’re studying. You’re having to put on a smile on a red carpet. It’s like, ‘Who am I? Am I for myself or for this?’ ” [Lauren]
On Kanye’s “Bitch” Comment To Taylor Swift
“I spoke to [Swift] and she did not know he was going to say that. Taking credit for her success and then saying ‘you owe me sex for that’? Disgusting.” [Camila]
