I think she's waiting for the VMA's which is to me is a very bad idea as the VMA's are at the tail end of Summer and CP should've been released to radio say before now. To me she should just release it that's what happened for Sabrina. Espresso just blew up over night. CP is not a fall single at all. It's definitely giving a VMA premiere, which is completely asinine if she wouldn't be scheduled to perform. She should be on the verge of complete recovery, but it would still be a risk. BOTH videos should already be out be the time the award show come around to give her something to talk about on the carpet. How dreadful it would be to ask her about the videos still not being out in September! 1
Luizzz Posted July 11 Posted July 11 No way she's going to wait fot the VMAs to drop the CP video. First it was a visual album and now a VMA premiere?? I think it's time to accept that we may never get this video just like the fair one. 2

I think it's time to accept that we may never get this video just like the fair one. But unlike Fair the CP me is shot and edited. I personally feel like if Lydia and co don't drop it then Normani should just stop being an artist and just act. It's no purpose of withholding a mv for song that's not even in the bb hot 100. Just release it; the only reason I think she hasn't is because I think she's trying to use it as a way for MTV to be interested in letting her perform but to me it seems half-baked. I'm getting a bit annoyed with whole smoke and mirrors thing. If she wants her music to do well why not self-promote? It's the same weird circle of events over and over again. It's very annoying. It's like she is doing everything to push us away and to make sure her music is never played or even popular. Like what? 4
stephen1108 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 (edited) There was never any direct official public confirmation that a video for 1:59 was shot, but I feel like it's safe to say they shot a video for it too Edited July 11 by stephen1108 1
eXaggeration Posted July 11 Posted July 11 this Candy Paint (and possible 1:59) video is really starting to give "Put It In A Love Song" tease ...iykyk 2
remming Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I think some of you are giving Normani too much credit again. My opinion is the candy paint video isn't out because RCA doesn't want it to be lol. I also think the next single should be All Yours because it was still getting positive updates like a week ago. Sorry to Candy Paint but Normani needs a hit now not 5 months from now. It usually takes a song a few months to peak on radio so if All Yours does well then it will still be gaining on radio in October. 1
Motivation93 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Look I am no industry folk but I feel like it doesn't take an idiot to realize that releasing the CP video would only help things? Like what lol why would they be holding onto it?'legit there is sabotage

If they don't officially send the song to radio and make it a real single then the video is going to be for fans who will talk about it for 3 weeks the most and that's going to be it. Unless you're banking on Normani's choreo going viral. I mean that could happen because ppl tend to love Normani's dancing but that's also a risk since it might just only be watched by fans. Now if they're going to send candy paint to radio then a video makes sense and should be released.
butterflymimi Posted July 11 Posted July 11 i was all for them playing the long game, but they're not playing any game at all, it really feels like we snatched normani's CD from her hands and uploaded it to streaming ourselves listen, i've accepted the state of her situation, there's nothing we can do about label politics. however her showing 0 interest in her career/her own music is only going to drive fans away from tuning into N2 if they think it's just going to be a bore fest as a day 1 harmo i'll always be here but girl please, i am starving for literally anything from you 2 1

The "risk" of premiering with "low" views is a stan twitter concern It's not a stan Twitter opinion at all. I don't care about the views on the video at all. Do you know they are filming entire movies and scrapping them now because they know it won't make any sense to release them? There's absolutely no point to releasing videos for promo singles. Most singles that have videos are official radio singles and it's been that way forever. To me it makes no sense to release the video unless they're going to make it a single. Fair had a video and that was scrapped because the song flopped.
justifymythreads Posted July 11 Posted July 11 I just think that if that's the case and she really thinks CP is single worthy then ask DK for an investment. I'm sure he has some money to spare. Send it to Pop as a last ditch effort and keep it moving. CP is a summer song so I don't understand why they are waiting. Like I don't get it. I truly do believe Lydia is a good manager it's just Normani sometimes doesn't understand is the world waits for no one. You get only a few chances to prove yourself. She's excelled at the few she's been given but doesn't understand that your only as memorable as your last hit her last even remotely remembered song was DWAS. She should be eager to get her ass out there and try to make things happen. Prove it to us that she's willing to step out her comfort zone and make this album worth cycle worth the wait.
NormaniQueen Posted July 11 Posted July 11 (edited) i think the candy paint mv will definitely be out before this month ends… if not… chile let's continue streaming and imagining a visual 🫠 Edited July 11 by NormaniQueen 1
NormaniQueen Posted July 11 Posted July 11 like ain't no way this was the initial plan 1 MONTH IN the post-album rollout 😭

I'm pretty sure RCA has our girl owing them around upwards of 2.5-3million based off the numerous recording sessions and the scrapped mvs. They need her to self-promote in order for them to grant her any more budget.
Kayseri Mantisi Posted July 11 Posted July 11 all of the videos are cancelled. visual album is cancelled. DOPAMINE era is now over. 1

This visual album really tears the **** out of me every time! It's the idea the RCA would approve a visual film or short film, but axe album promotion, 2 music videos and a tour. Like, where is the logic, because if you were holding onto 12 music videos when the album debuted at 90 and fell off after six days, wouldn't it make sense to release the video you've already teased 🤣💀❗️
NormaniQueen Posted July 12 Posted July 12 do y'all think mani is touring this year or early next year?

I'll be scrolling on my FYP and see her reposting videos and commenting. She's just weird about her own damn content. Remember when she scrapped her Streets video? It's probably the same case for a lot of things. I just know her drafts are stacked with videos.

Yeah but this latest trend of hers of posting videos on Instagram but not TikTok makes zero sense because she's clearly fine with the video if she's comfortable posting it on Instagram. Like why not just hit post a second time while you're already posting it

I think she and her team are most likely aware of the odd patterns but don't want to go the extra step of downloading the video to another platform. Her team's approach is rather messy though. 1
