American girl group Fifth Harmony will play at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, as part of its “7/27 Tour.”

    Fifth Harmony was formed on the second season of “The X Factor U.S.” in July 2012. The group consists of members Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui and previously, Camila Cabello, whose departure was announced late last year.

    Fifth Harmony is mainly a pop and R&B group. They have described their music as having a “retro feel” to it. The group lists Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, the Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child as their main influences.

    In January 2013, they signed a joint deal with Syco Music, owned by Simon Cowell, and Epic Records, L.A. Reid’s record label, after finishing in third place on the show. In December 2016, it was reported that all group members are also individually signed to Epic Records.

    Following their exit from “The X Factor,” they released their debut single “Miss Movin’ On,” which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its music video won the group the MTV Video Music Award for Artist to Watch. Their debut EP “Better Together” (2013) had a first week position of No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The group released their debut studio album “Reflection” in 2015, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and receiving a gold certification from the RIAA. The album included the platinum singles “Boss,” “Sledgehammer” and “Worth It.” The latter achieved triple platinum certification in the United States and reached the Top 10 in 13 countries. “Work From Home,” the lead single from their second album “7/27” (2016), became the group’s first Top 10 single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the first Top 5 by a girl group in a decade on that chart.

    Their accolades include four iHeartRadio Music Awards, three MTV Europe Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, an American Music Award, a Billboard Women in Music award and seven Teen Choice Awards. As of December 2016, Fifth Harmony has sold a total of 424,000 albums and seven million digital songs and earned 1.6 billion on-demand streams in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
