MOTHA BOOKED that stage. We're actually gearing up for an era.

Normani not showing up to nothing unless she's performing or playing a big role. Love that for her!

No more random events just to go to them.

Also she SERVED

Edited September 24Sep 24 by Flare

peep her saying new beginnings! that means she signed with a new label

Last time she attended a Variety event and said something was coming, we got the album announcement a month later

She said it's on the horizon. A new single can't be that far away.

2027 unless it's a buzz single.

I suspect that's why the rumors around were multiple big record labels are not going to spend much this Q4. Now Taylor is doing her deluxe with a big promo run starting with VMAs.

She's going to suck the attention all October then the Christmas freeze happens right after and Mariah takes over. Not a good time to launch an era.

I think 2027 will be Normani's time.

i think at the very least before the year ends we'll get an announcement of a new label i hope? she said new beginnings and i can't see normani being independent working with khris tynes lmao im sorry. so i hope we get a label announcement + press release AT LEAST!

She really looked amazing at the Variety event the other night. One of her best looks in ages.

This is why we need to start a list of potential Normani Album 2 producers.

If she has multiple big names, she's def not independent.

She's been with Khris a lot. If he's the main or only producer of the album, she could be independent.

Who else has she been working with?

I think she's under Jive Records. I saw that the president Mike Weiss and David Melhado follows her. Which may amount to nothing but I found it odd that the RcA had been posting her recently. Maybe that's why she's pivoting to more pop records; as they both know her biggest hits were pop.

I agree + idk how she would escape her contract at RCA/Sony with only one album.

That brings me to Wikipedia (of all places):

"The label [Jive Records] was revived in 2026 by RCA as an independent entity within the Sony Music umbrella. Mike Weiss and David Melhado were appointed as co-presidents of the newly revived label.".

It's a pretty easy convo for the larger RCA to say "Hey let's move Normani back into another smaller entity. We didn't really want to lead on her in the first place but we don't want her to leave completely". Also this is an easy explanation to RCA (and some Sony social accounts internationally!!!) still posting her.

I'm sure there's people at Sony/RCA who would advocate to keep Normani cause she's technically been in that family/world since Fifth Harmony days (with Epic Records) and she has a A+ reputation behind the scenes at Sony. People know she's super professional, never bad mouths her label or team, and fits this era of music well.

Also, they can see her social media engagement is still good when she does post things vs starting fresh with a newer artist.

I'm sorry it wasn't RCA it was Sony in Ireland but maybe Simon has something to do with it?

Also, if she did get shuffled under Jive this wouldn't be her first time working with Mike Weiss either he used to work at Maverick Management who used to manage 5H after Camila left. Which could be a positive or a negative because I remember the last album was mismanaged but that was moreso on the label's part . I do think they were performing on a lot of late night shows then so let's hope the same happens for Normani.

Yeah their management of the era was fine. I think the label was to blame cause they 100% didn't want Fifth Harmony to thrive for [REDACTED] reasons.

The bookings were good and they even did lip sync battle which was big at the time, VMAs, Good Morning America, hella show bookings including the asia tour which was cool, and multiple videos (Down, No Angel, Deliver, He Like That).

Can't really ask for more than that tbh.

Wish she was attending the VMAs

MTV's social media gay is always posting about her, but I noticed TMZ posted her photos too. I found that unusual

Lauren is also there and do you guys see a pattern? She mentions star? and the emojis on the tweet👀 Could we be seeing a 5H reunion single?
