Suffice it to say, the dopamine “rush” was sweet but… brief.

Supporters of the Fifth Harmony stage blazer apparently need not fret, though.

For, she is promising afresh that she will be bringing the musical heat sooner than folk may think.

And what better platform to celebrate than with a high-profile hosting stint on Saturday Night Live.

The Harlem native took center stage on the latest episode of the long-running show, delivering a resonating opening monologue and diving all the way into a myriad of skits.

She also dished on the hilarity of motherhood, including the fact that her daughters (present in the audience) were glued to their phones when she won her Golden Globe.

Celebration of the album’s arrival has come courtesy of a number of its cuts getting the video treatment including ‘Whiskey,’ ‘Flackito Jodye,’ ‘Helicopter,‘ and more.

The clear standout of the bunch, however, is clearly the high-octane ‘Punk Rocky.’
