    Do you want my opinion?
    Little Mix was created and idealized as a teen pop girl group. I think in all their 4 albums there's a big variety, but Salute and LM5 are alike, shows the woman empowerment with a high dose of feminism. All of us knows that this industry is misogen and machist, unfortunelly the especielized critic do not see the group big changes. I think that this girls borned to

    Little Mix was created and idealized as a teen pop girl group. I think in all their 4 albums there's a big variety, but Salute and LM5 are alike, shows the woman empowerment with a high dose of feminism. All of us knows that this industry is misogen and machist, unfortunelly the especielized critic do not see the group big changes. I think that this girls borned to R&B and hip-hop and for this they uses their big idols como referências. For me, this album is absolutely out of bubblegum teen pop and personally I LOVE IT. Women, not teenagers singing "Take a sip of my secret poison" and they not wanna be Beyoncé, they want let your mark. I'd hoped a note little better than that (70 to be honest). But, the industry want girlband singing about sex, be submissed to men, dirty songs, like fifth harmony always did, and maybe for this they have a profile with 72. This world...hmmm, ok I am a fan of good music, i don't care for numbers or sales, I care for talent, and this girls always captvated me, a lot more now.

    Little mix reinvented themselves again: this album mix pop & urban in a perfect way, they haven't done anything like this before! Every song looks different from the others, but in all of them we can found amazing harmonies, spectacular bridges and all the strenght that has always characterized the girls.
    Moreover, the videos released so far are very nice and powerful!
    Good job, LM!

    Es de los mejores albumes de este año,sus toques latinos le han dado un toque aun mejor y encima las letras de las canciones y el emporedamiento femenino tiene una gran control.

    They are very bold with this album. Their vocals and harmonies are strong here. The lyrics, variety of genres and their identity as artists make LM5 their best album to date.

    #LM5 is a brilliant Pop-R&B sound filled with Little Mix's signature harmonies, lyrically inspiring messages of Woman Empowerment, Self love and Sisterhood. Mixers have grown up with the girls and finally have the mature Salutesque album we've been asking for. Each listen will leave the listener feeling confident, uplifted and ready to take on the world.
    As an +21 Mixer I couldn't be

    As an +21 Mixer I couldn't be happier.

    However, I do hope LM release an edited version of the album for their younger fans.

    Little Mix se encontram nesse álbum, tanto em sonoridade, como musicalidade. Letras maduradas que mostram empoderamento feminino, amadurecimento emocional e mental, arriscaram em novos ritmos e se encontram no R&B. O melhor álbum da carreira, até então.

    LM5 é um misto de sensações extraordinárias, uma ótima mistura de pop, R&B, trapp e soul que nos faz se interessar pelo álbum do inicio ao fim. Little mix de um show de harmonias que até mesmo quem já conhece fica impressionado. Grandes parcerias como Kamille, Sharaya J e o grande destaque para a Queen, Nicki Minaj.

    LM5 define com empoderamento o conceito de feminismo em músicas talentosas como "Strip", "The national manthem", "Joan of Arc" e a brilhante "Woman's world". Little Mix mostra seu potencial com vocais poderosos e letras emocionantes como "Monster in me", trazendo um dos melhores álbuns musicais de 2018.

    These tracks are vibrantly cross-pollinated, touching upon lush a cappella ("The National Manthem"), R&B flamenco ("Love a Girl Right"), and buzzy, exotic club bangers ("Wasabi"). No question, Little Mix are in charge here.

    Little Mix’s candidness throughout is admirable, even thrilling in its bravery.

    Little Mix albums have always struggled to find their own identity, and LM5 still owes too much to Beyoncé’s flirtation with hip-hop and top-40 trend chasing. It’s frustrating.
