LEAVE IT ALONE

What happens when artists kiss their bands goodbye to make it on their own?

GET used to saying her name now, because Camila Cabello is likely to be the name on everyone’s lips in 2018.

The former Fifth Harmony member — who will perform as part of Z100’s Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden on Friday — is already hitting the big leagues with her solo career. The Latinflavored “Havana,” featuring Young Thug, recently hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — higher than she ever got as part of Fifth Harmony. This week, she released her latest songs “Never Be the Same” and “Real Friends,” and her debut album, “Camila,” is due in January.

But even with such a strong start, the 20-yearold Cuban-American shouldn’t rest easy. As the careers of other group-members-gone-solo illustrate, succeeding on your own for the long haul isn’t always a sure thing.

Camila Cabello is no longer harmonizing with Fifth Harmony, but has succeeded on her own so far.
