AFullMoonlight Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Gold is a weak track. Glad it was leaked in a full for the fans that wanted it though. DUI needs to join it in the bin imo. I think everything that has leaked from her was rightfully scrapped. And yay for the VMA noms. The only award show that seems to acknowledge her on a consistent basis. I still don’t want to see a repeat of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange22 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Gold I love the song anyway but she sounds just as good as I expected on it. It could have came out around Waves. I get why it was scrapped though. I don’t think I’ve heard a demo from her yet that I was like “that was the wrong call” Edited July 26, 2022 by orange22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see Normani staying ghost in August. Let’s manifest (not beg) for that VMAs debut performance of Candy Paint. It’s what we need to bring things back to life. It’s all going according to plan AugMani, a yearly tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motivation93 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Ok I’m feeling good lol especially if The vmas is recognizing her she will absolutely be insane to not perform a new single there. Hopefully this comes with an album pre order because if she misses this moment with the Calvin collab and vmas then we’re looking into 2023 with the holiday freeze and girl… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all that don't like it in Normani's voice should seriously get your ears checked!!! This song is pure gold And let me add that R&B songs do not need a 'massive bubblegum chorus' like pop songs do. Wild Side is a clear example of that, strong verses/pre-chorus and then a lil chill chorus. It's perfect for R&B songs. These .... days ..... I'm ...... made ..... of gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Very happy that she’s being recognized. I hope that helps reassure her that the work she has put in hasn’t gone unnoticed. Candy Paint in August. Pre order in September. Album in October. manifesting. Edited July 26, 2022 by Jai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can put that back on the album. That sounded a lil more than a demo, it definitely made it on a couple versions of the album tracklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFullMoonlight Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Here’s to hoping that the Candy Paint video eats up Wild Side. She really has to top herself and I don’t know how she’s going to outdo the rooftop scene but mother has surprised me before.

It'd be amazing. New To You this Friday, tease new music next week, announce CP on Monday August 8th saying it'll be released Friday the 12th with video. Then everything will literally fall into place because it'd have time to build a bit on Urban and Rhythmic radio before the VMAs on August 28th.

The rollout will proceed from there. Some magazine shoot is in the works, not sure if it’s cover or just a story. They’re going to start things back up visually to get her social media engagement back up then, music related announcements. All according to plan EDIT since no one posted it here (and no I’m not saying this particular caption is song lyrics): https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgfb7UVvdoa/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Edited July 26, 2022 by Flare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, on tiktok I’m seeing engagement has dropped for a lot of people. I think it’s more of a “pandemic is over, back to normal balanced social media consumption with real life” than “omg Normani is over”. People are just enjoying their summer and decompressing from all that unhealthy amounts of social media consumption due to COVID and lockdowns. I even notice it on my tiktok, I post similar style content and nothing lately has done as well as my winter 2021/2022 posts which was peak Omicron covid wave.

Heheee Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I also think her not having music out right now is not helping her engagement it was pretty low before wildside came out and then it soared back up. So I think her engagement will be better after candy paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFullMoonlight Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 To think, these labels allegedly put all these other artist’s projects on hold in fear of Beysus only for a lame to leak Beysus’ album. Normani could’ve launched an album campaign. It’s not like she was even competition for Bey. And did y’all miss the IG drama on Twitter the other day? IG is too busy trying to compete with TikTok. They favor the reels over photos and that’s why people’s engagements are low. People never even see there friends or family in the timeline because of how IG has that set up.
