Fifth Harmony feat. Ty Dolla $ign, "Work From Home"

Fifth Harmony’s follow-up to its 2015 debut Reflection was always going to feature a maturation of sound and substance, and the fact that sophomore LP 7/27's lead single is packed with sexual innuendos (while not dropping any explicit language) was a logical progression that pop fans saw coming a mile away. But “Work From Home” is much more than cheeky lines about “Ain’t no getting off early!” -- the vocal performances from the quintet are incredibly poised, selling every wink and come-on with a confidence in concept that was missing from the group’s debut. Combined with a pumping chorus that sounds specifically designed for spin classes, and Ty Dolla $ign in full goofball mode on his guest verse (including the world's most dramatic crooning of the word “timesheet”), “Work From Home” puts in extra hours to showcase 5H’s collective charm, and where they’re heading as adult artists. — J.
