Review
The debut album from The X-Factor's second season third-place finishers
Fifth Harmony, 2015's Reflection is a slick production superbly showcasing the
group's multi-voiced approach to contemporary R&B. Working with a bevy of
top-notch producers and songwriters including Julian Bunetta, Stargate, Dr.
Luke, Ricky Reed, and others, Fifth Harmony members Ally Brooke Hernandez,
Camila Cabello, Normani Hamilton, Dinah-Jane Hansen, and Lauren Jauregui have
crafted an album that is very much a savvy pop product of the moment. Reflection
hits upon all the au currant musical touchstones, from electronic-infused dance
music to synthy, rhythmically bumptious hip-hop, to retro-‘90s R&B, all
without ever going too far in any one direction. If there is any one major
antecedent to Reflection, it is clearly Beyonce's 2013 feminism-steeped
eponymous opus. Along with various production similarities, from the
militaristic drum corps rhythmic bed of “Bo$$” to the general focus on
resonant vocals, there is also an overall vibe of positive girl power permeating
Reflection. Fifth Harmony even directly reference one of Beyonce's most
quotable lyrics, singing “Do you ever post your pics with no filter,
'Hashtag,’ I woke up like this, too” on “Them Girls Be Like.” Although
essentially a radio-ready pop aperitif and nowhere near the cultural touchstone
of Beyonce's album, Reflection nonetheless works as a Revlon ad-level
post-feminist girls' night out with plenty of vintage ‘90s R&B swagger,
all of which works to remind you that these women have all the right influences,
from Beyonce to Mariah Carey, on the aptly titled “Like Mariah,” even going
so far as to call out the First Lady on the aforementioned anthemic “Bo$$.”
While lyrics like “Boss…Michelle Obama, purse so heavy gettin’ Oprah
Dollars” don't rise to the level of social commentary, they do seem to be
offered with a glint of tongue-in-cheek humor, making Reflection an undeniably
fun listen from beginning to end. Matt Collar – Allmusic.com
