Did Lauren Jauregui Slam Fifth Harmony’s Last Album With Camila Cabello?
Although Fifth Harmony has released a new album since Camila Cabello left the group last year, a recent tweet from Lauren Jauregui revealed that she doesn’t associate positive thoughts with music the group has sung in the past.
On Thursday, Jauregui replied to a fan who noticed that she has an uplifting stage presence when it comes to performing her new music with group members Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen and Ally Brooke Hernandez. “You can tell this album has truly done something to you, your confidence on stage is incredible,” one fan tweeted.
Jauregui replied by telling the fan that things are different compared to the last time the time the group released music. “I actually like the music lmao,” she tweeted.
After Cabello left Fifth Harmony in December, one of the reasons she gave for parting ways with the group was because they were not allowed to write their own music. “[The songs were] mostly written by other people,” she told Rolling Stone.
The “Havana” singer now has her own process of writing and recording that takes longer than the two weeks it takes 5H to record an album. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, it’s just not for me. It has to be me in order for me to be happy with the result. I get to make mistakes, correct them and learn and keep growing,” she said.
Fifth Harmony’s previous album, “7/27,” which was the last album Cabello appeared on, included hit songs like “That’s My Girl” and “Work from Home” featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Despite the album’s success, not everyone was happy about singing the songs, and Cabello admitted that her dissatisfaction about the music caused tension prior to her exit.
The “OMG” artist told Billboard that she was not shy about voicing her opinion about her dislike of singing lyrics she couldn’t relate to. “I think that in a group there is always going to be tension, whether it’s because of this thing or [another] thing. Obviously, I think that rocked the boat,” she told the publication.
“I don’t know. I was always super open [that] I couldn’t just sing other people’s words and be totally happy with that. You have to follow and honor that inner voice. I always encouraged the girls to do the same.”
In a recent interview with Billboard, Jauregui explained that the group’s latest music is something she is very proud of. “As an artist, I don’t care about where we are in the charts and all that. The important thing to me is to connect with a creative project. In this record, we’ve got our thoughts, our lyrics. When you listen to it, it’s about things we’ve lived through.”
The “Deliver” singer went on to reveal that this time around, Fifth Harmony’s real emotions and experiences are included in their music. “We’ve worked a lot and everyone that knows us can vouch for it. After all, of all we’ve lived till today, this is the most authentic we’ve done, and that motivates me a lot,” she revealed.
While Fifth Harmony’s self-titled album landed at no. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, Cabello’s debut solo project, “The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving” is expected to be released this fall.
