As 5 Seconds of Summer’s self-proclaimed #1 fan, I’ve followed them through every reinvention, but their latest album – “EVERYONE’S A STAR!” – marks one of their most striking shifts yet. Since their 2012 debut as scrappy pop-punk newcomers, the band has experimented with countless sounds, with each era pushing them further from where they started. Now, with years of experience behind them, they’ve crafted an album that feels purposeful – one that shows not just who they’ve become, but what they want their listeners to understand and feel.
