Not Like The Movies Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 If Motivation ends up on the album, from a business standpoint, it's smart because the song has 400m streams on Spotify and is her most remembered hit because of the iconic music video.

NobodysFool Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) The aesthetic soundscape of DOPAMINE.... with Motivation in the mix? If 1 + 0:59 is 1:59 then that don't make no sense. Unless maybe there's a Motivation Remix (L-DOPA Edition) or a nod to it in the record? Edited May 24 by NobodysFool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbreezy Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 11 hours ago, Monkey_Juice said: Let's get into the Budget! Let's! But I actually see this from a slightly different perspective. I am LOVING that this looks/feels premium without feeling super expensive either. Stay with me... Granted I'm not "in" Mani's budget like that to know the ins and outs, I used to live for the fact the Motivation video watched so MPG-expensive and that she confirmed that the stunning Wild Side video cost over $1 million. Again, giving MPG. Until... I realized that that may be what's causing "some" of the issues at the label. Blowing big bags on videos for songs that don't go #1 or even top 10 (and thus don't recoup) actually can leave an artist worse for wear. In many ways, Mani ends up with this very lush "videography" but at what expense? There needs to be funds in the budget for all the things we've yet to have for her like: streaming push, radio tours, and performances. Labels are a business and, much as we see the potential in her, they aren't going to throw endless sums of $$$ at her campaign just because. It has to make sense fiscally. And remembering how open she was about "going back and forth" with the label over money for both the Motivation and Wild Side videos adds a lil more "grown up" / eye-opening context to the nothingness that followed both of those releases. Again, not in her budget or close to her campaign, but applying a real-life, real-business filter to her trajectory kinda makes a lot of ish make more sense. The upside now is that I feel like she/her team FINALLY get that SHE is the attraction. I don't even care for 1:59 but the intensity of her performance and how she sells it in the album trailer sells the song x100. When in actuality and practicality it was probably shot in a small, well-lit studio space for all the scenes. Simply speaking, everything need not be a splashy Dave Meyers affair (as much as I love those videos). I'd take multiple simple, performance-led videos than one costly video that doesn't allow for much else after. She is a STAR and can sell anything. I just want that paired with cost-effective strategy. Edited May 24 by Cbreezy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormaniQueen Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 the budget is definitely giving BIG for the dopamine album trailer. i can't wait to see what else normani (and the team) has in store for the music videos… like are we gonna get a visual album???
