Fifth Harmony praise Beyoncé's 'Formation' video: 'It's empowering'

'Worth It' hitmakers Fifth Harmony have praised Beyoncé's new song 'Formation'. 

During a new interview with Billboard, member Dinah Jane Hansen explained that it's a powerful song and she's excited to see more artists embracing where they come from in their art:

"Of course the Queen slayed 'Formation'. Formation is definitely an empowering song for her to come out and show her side of her culture as well. The girl is from Louisiana and Texas, and I love that these artists are showing where they came from now. I appreciate that. You don’t always see that."

She went onto talk about 5H's forthcoming new album and confessed that the record was influenced by the different ethnicities within the group: "This album definitely shows our ethnicities. I'm an island girl, from the Pacific Islands. I'm Polynesian, a mix of everything, Tongan, Samoan, Danish. Everyone always thought of me as being African-American or Latin, and I love that, but I'm glad I can bring a little island to this album. With the new music, we were giving it a little reggae vibe with the beats -- that represented me. And we all love it."
