maaricle Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Sorry for fuming but I used to work in social media and there is ✨literally✨ no rational explanation for this If her team wants to grow that account, they need to 1) stop the breadcrumbing on her MAIN account 2) Provide CONCRETE info on her MAIN account to engage her existing base so there's an actual funnel incentive and mechanism 2) Use the secondary account to post ANCILLIARY content for those interested in more updates (ie: fan interactions, behind the scenes clips, etc) This isn't rocket science 2
j_mars20 Posted May 15 Posted May 15 that snippet sounds HEAVENLY glad we're all in agreement that that stupid fan account needs to be on the back burner tho. I'll never understand the logic behind promoting on an account with 6k followers vs 3.3 million (even if some of them are dead followers) hell even the main NormaniUpdates account has more. 1

They definitely should've hooked up with NormaniUpdates instead of creating a new account. I also don't understand how they are seeing fans protest against the use of the page and are ignoring it. 6

Garbaj Posted May 15 Posted May 15 i'm really trying to be optimistic about this roll-out; because i love normani. always have. but as a stan, it's sooo frustrating; because i feel like the STANS/FANS are planning her roll-out better than she is. her album drops in a month... and all we've gotten was a fresh new teaser on a song, that should have been the lead. wheres the physicals? the radio promo? the promo period. shes gone radio silent on instagram it seems, and people are really getting tired of it. anyways, i was just venting, i really hope she decides to make a 360; because for this to be announced earlier in the year, many people are still confused. that's not good. 6

popularmoonlight Posted May 15 Posted May 15 The way she moves certanly makes no sense and I honestly think she's the one calling the shots. Everything they do seems to be backed up by "I don't want to be famous or reach any type of stardom". She probably deals with a lot of self sabotage moments. 7
HenryHope Posted May 16 Posted May 16 30 short days til Dopamine. ᗡND Friends, I am really excited and grateful. 1:59 and that polished Candy Paint snippet is a sign of the quality that is to come. I am sure Candy Paint will get a music video. It will be exciting when we get a teaser for that in the coming weeks. Unless they are gonna drop the album without a MV, but how likely would that be? Then I bet there will be a day when Mani posts the track list. The real exciting day will be, hopefully, when we get an album sampler and get a taste of all the songs we DON'T know about yet. Wishing you all a week of love and light 2

If I recall correctly, Normani confirmed it in a Q&A on Twitter a few weeks ago. But at this rate, I wouldn't be too surprised if it's scrapped, considering how this era/rollout has been going. They still haven't put up the album for pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music, for god's sake! It's just the 1:59 single/EP with the album cover. Edited May 16 by Crank_It_Up

But when I said this, everyone boo'd me and said I was being negative. This roll out is not it. Everything is just…not ready for prime time. They need to tighten up over at Normani HQ and that's all imma say. Even if she flops horribly, I wanna see what they do after the album is out. They need to push the era at all costs for the entire 2024. 8

butterflymimi Posted May 16 Posted May 16 yeah if I wasn't a fan I'd have no idea the album is only a month away 2
NormaniQueen Posted May 16 Posted May 16 I have faith in her, I've been a stan of her for way too long (2013) to just give up on her over a rollout. Let's hope that she and her team (RCA TOO) pull through with the promotion. 1
Way0faj Posted May 16 Posted May 16 I hate to say but this is one of the most terrible rollouts I have ever seen for an album 😭. The ignoring fans opinions, no performances, no radio tour, no VISUAL aspect at all, dropping a song not releasing lyric, visualizer. Less than 30 days for your album to be released there is no pre order. I'm sorry but she needs to fire everybody on her team quickly. 1

I also don't understand how they are seeing fans protest against the use of the page and are ignoring it. PopInsider on Twitter said New Normani Music Video in 3 weeks ? Is that true ? If yes, for which song ? Candy Paint or 1:59 ? Plis reply cause I only trust ya.

Maybe 20K if there's actually a well-organized release plan for physicals. I'd be surprised to see something higher than that unless Candy Paint REALLY takes off right out of the gate or something else on the album goes viral in the first week. But we'll finally an album, so honestly I don't care I don't see Normani selling a lot of physicals tbh. As for Normani's first week... Chloé sold 10k and she had more buzz around her (though fairly negative) at the time of the release. It's really quiet for Normani. Therefore I expect her to debut with similar numbers. I hope I'm wrong, but 15k is the most I can see the album doing at the moment.

They need to push the era at all costs for the entire 2024. 100%!!! I need Normani to perform at all the award shows and festivals possible. Should have been booked for Governors Ball in early June. It's a week before her album release. Perfect opportunity to remind folks who is is and to debut a new song. We (Black People) always drag the BET Awards, but performing is a major strength of hers. Going viral with an awesome performance could help her a lot. Too bad Essence Fest is the same weekend. I don't know if performing at the Festival on Friday and the award show on Sunday is even managable (IF she attends either...). I really hope we see her outside, even if she performs in the afternoon or early evening. There's always people in every crowd who've never heard of her and who she could be winning over. It might also be worth considering being an opening act / co-headliner with a bigger artist before heading out on her own tour (which she absolutely HAS to do, imo). Most of us have followed Normani's career for years, but this is really her debut era. She needs to work this with the hunger of a new artist. 1
