Motivation93 Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Is the uptempo coming this month because I SWEARRRRR ugh. Can the insiders calm our minds?
handstomyseIf Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) "The last record was for me" "I know what the people want" why she sound pissed off saying it? I lowkey feel bad that she poured her heart out in Fair and it flopped and then most of us moved on...but it is what it is. I'm glad she's aware though Edited May 3, 2022 by handstomyseIf

Since when can people not have feelings wtf. But these are the same ppl saying “stop policing our feelings” but now mani feelings are being policed. She does look phenomenal tho I love the modern day take on Gilded Glamour.

AFullMoonlight Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 The main talk surrounding the song has been about it not being the right single choice and how it wasn’t the proper follow up to WS. Normani likes to lurk on Twitter so she’s probably seen the stuff about Fair and how people are basically disregarding her feelings. I’d be bothered to if I released something I cared about and the response was “We don’t care. We want to shake ass.” or “Nobody cares. She doesn’t need to be making a statement.” It wasn’t really an attempt at making a statement. She just wanted to express herself through the music. Now regarding the rollout for the single, I don’t know what’s going on there. From the little information we’ve received from trusted insiders and Normani herself, it can be understandable why they didn’t release a video on release with Fair. Maybe the plan is/was to have a long album rollout where the singles and videos lead to an album announcement that leads to the actual album dropping? At this point we don’t really know anything concrete other than Normani believes that she’s releasing a single this month.

I really haven't seen any of her fans saying they disliked the song. From a quality standpoint, everyone seemed to really enjoy it. And all of her fans appreciated getting a more vulnerable release from her. It's the fact that she did this weird "it's not a single BUT we're sending it to radio BUT we don't care if it does numbers BUT we're going to make it the only song she has out for 2 months" back-and-forth that (rightfully) irritated some of her fans. And it's also blatantly inconsistent to suggest she's heartbroken that the song flopped because I thought the consensus from 6 weeks ago was that she and RCA knew it would flop and they don't care because they know they can get a hit later if they want Like I genuinely can't follow the story anymore... did she release the song with an understanding it wouldn't be a success, or is she sad/angry because it flopped?

I'm glad she's aware though I think it's the mounting frustration of years with no album, and the fact that everyone knew it would flop and further delay the album. If "Fair" had been a promo single with the album announcement, the reaction would've been totally different.
Khamis Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Aww I can’t believe I’m saying this…. But I feel bad for her. It flopped BAD and she knows it and you can see it on her face oh well girl. Lessons learned. Sorry you needed to go into debt to find out but as long as we push forward and don’t make the same mistakes… it wasn’t for nothing! edit: on second thought, she couldn’t go into debt bc they didn’t do anything but release the song and forget about it. So really it’s no real loss except pride it’s still a cute song tho Edited May 3, 2022 by Khamis
popularmoonlight Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Feeling that maybe Fair’s video was scrapped? I honestly have no idea if she expected more from Fair. And if she did, why didn’t she do anything for it besides a performance the day it was released and a week long promo run? It would’ve been very smart for sure had they announced the album back then. It would’ve given the fans and the people a different landscape of what was happening. Now a bunch of people probably think she delayed the album - which I don’t think happened at all.

Motivation93 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 I love her but her albums not out yet (debut I might add) so I get she wanted the artsy song like a fair but she kinda needs to play the game first. Suck up the pride and give us what we want miss gurl. It’s her strength
hallucinate Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 yeah it’s time to move on, we need the next single now
hallucinate Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 can’t wait for her to post a new snippet in a few weeks and then release the song during wild side anniversary week
monologueNacafe Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 I'm not really feeling her attitude on this at all.

She was speaking directly to her fans. She knows the conversations that’s been had online and she’s speaking only to that. It’s not any indication on how she feels about her next single. She’s actually very hype….
Motivation93 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 @WheresJayking can you ease our minds? Is the single still set for this month with album announcement?! I feel like we’re so close
