Yes, it's primarily R&B, but there's still some variety. My issue with her is she came out the gate saying she was genreless. Then got her debut album pushed back because her label ceo wanted her to do more R&B. Then she goes silent for about a year releases a fire R&B track then does no follow up for another year and then tries her hand at slow melodic pop which failed and instead of pivoting into her pop lane she goes for the more boring slow pop/r&b song as a opener knowing damn well we didn't want that ****. We waited a year and a half for CP just for her to not release it as a full single. Now (I know she was she was forced to do the 1:59 first) because I truly believe she was fighting for CP but why would RCA sabotage her for a shitty song. Like they wanted her to be more pop and when she decidedly wants to give it to us they deny her. Like am I missing something? Like I can see why RCA is hesitant to give them any funding especially when she wasted money on not 1 but 2 videos that never saw the light of day. Edited October 18 by justifymythreads 1
NormaniQueen Posted October 18 Posted October 18 what did we do for us to get treated like this??? 😭😭 1
troy4783 Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I'm not moving just yet but could she FINALLY be coming ? 1

l3disko Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Does she have another single coming out or something? Its been ages since Candy Paint

We're already at the end of October. Most people don't release singles this late in the year unless they are big stars because of the Holiday freeze that's about to happen. I actually don't think we're going to get the videos either unless she manages a grammy nomination. If that happens then I think RCA might allow her to release a video. 1

Usually Spotify has this fan first crap in coordination with TOURS for an artist. So maybe Normani hasn't been lying about a tour coming. So I guess the promo for the tour will be dropping a couple videos? Also a magazine cover is coming (I'm hearing). 3
dominickmcintee Posted October 21 Posted October 21 According to Spotify it looks like she's doing a show in London on 10/26 with Flo Milli?👀

justifymythreads Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Damn. What is she done with music? Like has she officially been shelved? Like I get not being able to perform on big shows with no budget. But is she really not allowed to perform at small venues as well? Like I'm not understanding why she can't address things. Like she keeps saying stuff is on the way but yet again we have nothing. My issue is not necessarily the lack of performances and stuff but she never addresses anything and therefore we are left to speculate. Then she went on a publication to literally say nothing new. Everything is either "we are looking forward to this or we have something in the works". It's either label related or she is being sabotaged by herself or some outside source. I couldn't imagine waiting 5 years to release and not speak about it or even mention anything involving the album. 2 1

We haven't heard from you in a while. Can you at least give us a hint as to what is happening.

I just hope that in a new magazine cover your team brings something new besides photos, it's always the same questions, the same answers. I don't think we'll have anything else for the rest of the year but I hope I'm wrong.

jadedreams Posted October 22 Posted October 22 I don't have the energy for a long rant but her situation is very sad to me. Great debut album, one of the most talented of her peers but everything else just can't seem to go the right way. Hopefully one day that changes. 1
