Hey 5H fans!
I have alot of information that I do intend to share about the Better Together album since there is quite a bit of misinformation, but it will be a few more days until I have everything organized.
I did however want to post that the Drown On Solid Ground track-list that was leaked years ago is fake. It used titles of the songs we already know had publishing or could possibly have been 5H songs (due to the writers), as well as guesstimated lengths. Somehow the DOSG length was correct (though an old publishing probably lost to time could have had the length on there as Magic’s length was viewable on GEMA or Warner Chapell I don’t remember atm.) The track-list visible on Amazon was not updated by Fifth Harmony or Epic themselves, any seller on Amazon can edit those and they can be listed under certain artists and brands. IMO it’s likely that some fan or even an Amazon Seller saw the leaked track-list and added it to the description to help sell more preorders since items with longer descriptions show up in results more. Also no company has flyers or paper with sensitive information like that and the dates do not coincide with the tours they were on. It takes extensive planning for tours and they definitely did not choose the dates overnight, the scrap of OG Better Together is why they pretty much exclusively performed the EP and covers from 2013 - mid 2014 while working on new stuff. (Neon lights feature, Worst Kept Secret, 5TH Times a Charm)
Better Together tracks were recorded from February 16th, 2013 (first ever studio session since their post X-Factor reunion, with Julian Bunetta) to at the very least early May. However, there are twitter posts of their September 28th, 2013 session. (I have included a few photos from Twitter, you can look them up in Twitter Advanced Search since I don’t wanna post links.) By December the girls were gearing up to go back to the studio and talked about changing the sound, i.e the Reflection Sessions. Better Together tracks were scrapped in May of 2014 at the very latest. I’ll post proof and timelines later when I have everything in an easier to read format.
Also cute time to post this throwback video, gotta find the source but probably just Insta or Twit. Ali Tamposi writing session, a few days before Toby Gad joined and they worked on No Boys Allowed and Better Days! (Early March / Late February! [I have the exact dates in my notes, I’ll post them later]
