Expect a Camila Cabello Solo Album in 2017

At this point, we should assume that all members of all pop acts will make solo albums sooner rather than later. But this week the world's looking toward newly independent Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello (when it's not looking to Niall Horan for his folk-pop record), and the reports of solo album activity are pointing specifically to 2017.

Entertainment Weekly has a new source verifying that an album is in progress, with plans for a release next year. (They add that each 5H member is signed individually to Epic Records.) Yesterday, Billboard ran an investigation into Cabello and Fifth Harmony's dissonance, saying Epic "has been planning a Cabello solo album for the better part of a year," getting her in the studio with proven songwriters and producers, including Diplo and Benny Blanco.
