Whether you're ready to hit the beach or just going to keep it casual at home, here are the top 5 album releases of the week. 

'7/27' - Fifth Harmony 

Fifth Harmony are part of the new generation of women who are bringing the power of pop girl groups back into vogue, and their latest album, 7/27, proves that there's nothing that will stop them from world domination. Despite the fear that Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane and Camilla Cabello will part ways following this second record (They promised they wouldn't... yet!), this new album shows that they've got a number of pop hit son their hands before they peace out on each other.

With jams like "All in My Head (Flex)" featuring Fetty Wap, 7/27 is an album that you'll want to groove to, but it's also giving us today's version of female empowerment. With tracks like "Not That Kinda," featuring Missy Elliott, and "That's My Girl," Fifth Harmony encourage girls to stand their ground  even when times get tough. While there's a fair amount of "girl power" happening on the album, the ladies also sing about those guys who have either won their hearts or shattered them into a hundred pieces. No matter what side of love their on, there's a strength showing through on 7/27. Whether it's telling a guy that she wants him to spend more time with her, like on "Work From Home," or admitting that you've got to let those feels loose sometimes on "Scared of Happy," there's a sense of self on this record that we're sure they hope will resonate with their fans all over the globe.

'Black' - Dierks Bentley

Country music has been known for the stories it tells and matters of the heart. And although Dierks Bentley has seven albums in his arsenal, his latest release, Black, takes a hard look at the ins and outs of a relationship. From the euphoric high points to the ridiculous fuck ups, Dierks takes us on this journey. And when you listen to the title track, which opens the record, and close your eyes, you're immediately catapulted into this character's shoes. You then go through the motions with him from the time the love died, the grievance period and finally see how the experience has changed him with "Can't Be Replaced." Maren Morris, Natalie Hemby, Jessie Alexander and and "Ex's and Ohs" singer Elle King all contribute vocals to the album, which gives this Dierks record a different twist.

While the message behind "Different for Girls," which features Elle, might be up for debate (i.e. Are girls as emotional as these artists portray?), the tune itself is lovely as is the rest of this record. If you're a fan of Dierks or just country music in general, this is clearly a great addition to your music library.

'By Default' - Band of Skulls

Since the release of Baby Darling Doll Face Honey in 2009, Band of Skulls have been on a continuous loop of release an album then tour the hell out of it for a year or so. And yes, that is essentially what most bands do. However without much of a break, it can be a bit too much. So for their fourth album, By Default, the Southampton, England, band took a moment to reset and get their musical senses back. And while staying in a local church, the band worked on a dozen tracks that not only slap you in the face with their arrival into 2016 but also show you a band with an evolved sound.

While still relying on the heavy drums and epic guitar solos, the pace on this album feels much quicker than their previous work. "Black Magic" and "Back of Beyond" right off the bat sound like good ol' fashion rock and roll tunes that we're not used to hearing from the trio. And while it might be brighter than something like "Sweet Sour," the dancey vibe to these tunes are a nice pop of energy from these guys. Their single, "So Good," showcases Emma Richardson's killer vocals and makes us want more. By Default might have come out of a time when the band felt like they were at a roadblock. But that's okay because the result is something you can't stop playing.

'The Ride' - Catfish and the Bottlemen 

Catfish and the Bottlemen were one of 2014's breakout bands with their debut record, The Balcony. With a mission to bring back the art of rock music as we once knew it, they're back with their sophomore effort, The Ride. While the beats and melodies sound similar to those we'd hear on the first record, ideas behind the songs are less about getting the girl but more like looking back on the mistakes that were made and overall growing pains. Then again, frontman Van McCann has said that the band has written enough songs for three albums by the time their first one came out. So it would only make sense to hear the common sonic thread in The Ride.

Although the record is full of songs that go in and out with a bang, "Glasgow" is a gem that's buried in the middle of the album. Van shows us a sweet and, dare we say, vulnerable, side of himself as he sings about the girl who's got him wrapped around her finger. From top to bottom, The Ride is a solid body of work that will really show its potential when you see it played live.

'Double Vanity' - Broncho

If you've seen Broncho live, then you'll know it's one helluva shit show, but a really fun one! Hot, sweaty and lots of moving body parts, these are just all the things that would happen at one of their sets, which totally makes sense considering the vibe of their last two records—2013's Can't Get Past the Lips and 2014's Just Enough Hip to Be Woman. The sharp staccato rhythms and rolling guitars seemed to be a staple for the Oklahoma band. That is, until they're latest LP, Double Vanity.

While keeping their gritty melodies, Broncho has slowed things down a few steps and provided fans with a 11-track body of work that exudes a darker and atmospheric side of them that we haven't heard before. Their single, "Fantasy Boys," is a great reflection of their growth. Ryan Lindsey's vocals float effortlessly over the atmospheric guitars for a dark and buzzy mid-tempo ballad. You get that vibe on tracks like "Two Step" and "Jenny Loves Jenae." So if you're looking for some mood music, check out Double Vanity.
