Another Fifth Harmony member has signed a solo deal
Uh no!
After Camila Cabello left American girl band Fifth Harmony in 2016, the remaining members were adamant to carry on as a four piece, but now it looks like they could be set to follow in their former band mates' footsteps.
Just last week, Ally Brooke from the girl group announced that she will be releasing a solo single with German DJ Topic, dropping the single just a few days later. The song is titled 'Perfect' and it follows on from her 2016 collaboration with Lost Kings and A$AP Ferg on 'Look At Us Now'.
And now it has been revealed that Normani Kordei has signed a solo deal with publishing company Stellar Songs, the same company the one and only Sam Smith is signed with.
Of course, the girls signing solo deals doesn't mean they can't work together in a group, but former member Camila Cabello revealed the reason she left the group was because her solo work 'caused tension'.
In an interview, the 'Havana' singer also stated that she felt 'shut out' after wanting to stay in the group while working on a solo album. Camila even offered to write material for the group but was rejected.
She said, “I was just curious and I wanted to learn and I saw all these people around me making music, writing songs and being so free. I just wanted to do that and it did not work.
“It became clear that it was not possible to do solo stuff and be in the group at the same time."
The recent news of a solo signing could mean Fifth Harmony are about to do a One Direction and go on a hiatus whilst they focus on their solo careers, but nothing has been confirmed by the band just yet.
Fifth Harmony were formed in 2012 during the American version of The X Factor and the band have had some massive hits to date including the likes of 'Work From Home', 'That's My Girl' and 'BO$$'.
