Fifth Harmony Will Release New Album as a Foursome in 2017!

Fifth Harmony is here to stay and the new foursome – made up of Lauren Jauregui, Normani Kordei, Ally Brooke, and Dinah Jane – is moving full steam ahead with plans for a new album this year!

The ladies have resigned their deal with label Epic Records, the same label they joined after appearing on The X Factor in 2012.

“Epic has in fact exercised their deal option with Fifth Harmony,” the label told Billboard in a statement.

“They’re in a position to have more creative involvement and really direct where they want their music to go,” a source told Billboard. “They’re a huge name on the Epic roster so it makes sense to keep them there and work on another hit album. While, at the same time it benefits the girls to stay as well and really own the direction they’re going in rather than litigate themselves out of a deal.”

Simon Cowell‘s team said he is “committed as ever to the group he envisioned.”
