I feel like we’re so close Not sure of an exact date. Haven’t heard anything from my people just yet but should be coming soon.
Motivation93 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Hopefully that person a few weeks ago who confirmed the album was coming in ten weeks was legit because we need this summer album hehe

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? Absolute tea. No one is mad it flopped it’s just puzzling cause we all saw it coming, I just don’t know what Normani herself expected. If there’s a video we should have it though I wanna see
Crank_It_Up Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 I think that since there isn’t an exact date set for the next single, we can assume we’re not getting a performance for Billboard Music Awards since that’s gonna be on the 15th. Unless they rush through everything and drop it on Friday the 13th (which I find VERY hard to believe at this moment)
Motivation93 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 I get that there’s a plan but I’m always scratching my head at why they don’t book her these performances when this is what she excels at?? If the single drops this month take advantage

Who in the right mind would approach the first song you put out in 8 months after a hit like Wild Side in this way?

She has said multiple times a MV was shot sis unless she was lying - which i wouldn't put past her lol. Welp, she ain't performing at the BBMAs. This is all really messy. We have no idea if she shot another video too or if she's yet to do it - and if she hasn't shot it HOW ARE WE GETTING ANOTHER SINGLE THIS MONTH like seriously, just get that Fair video out. There's even a fan video, she won't even put THAT out? Why is everything a mess when it comes to her don't they have a ******* calendar?
Delusional Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Not “that last record was for me” we can tell by the streams Spoiler I’m joking btw - fair was a slay and I’m honestly upset a mv could possibly be scrapped
jdanton2 Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 i think the rumor is May 27th though if not hopefully it will come before June 26th and we get a performance at the BET Awards.
Camilitau.u Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 At least we can say that Fair was not a stain in her discography, it’s still a quality R&B song like a slower Waves.

Fair wasn’t a stain but it’s not a highlight either. I thought Fair would have been more SINGY like her covers. When the hell will she get back to serving vocals? Just one showcase on the album please
Bubble Tea Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Oh I only just saw this thread for the first time and learned of the song's existence - thinking it was out and I'd missed it. What's up with all the girls' projects getting shelved right now. Normani, SZA, Kim Petras...
halfhabibi Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Agh, I feel like this week would have been the PERFECT time for a release. Met Gala hype translating to video hype. @WheresJayWhat was that three day shoot for? Was it uptempo video or Fair MV?

She used to be a STANDOUT person to look for in the carpet. There’s definitely some BTS drama with her label...she doesn’t seem like she’s excited to launch an album era at all.

It is odd that she's completely silent when an album is apparently due in 7 weeks. I was thinking she was simply working a lot and that's she wasn't on socials that much...

She did gain a boost in IG followers from it and was trending on Twitter. She’s a standout when it comes to performances but I wouldn’t say so for red carpets. I think people are reading way too much into that one red carpet interview. Now all of a sudden she’s not excited for the uptempo or the album, has a bad attitude and there’s something going behind the scenes. All based off an off the cuff interview comment.

Actions are louder than words and from her body language..I’m not getting excited vibes. This is her DEBUT album and it almost feels like she’s over it bc the direction she wanted to go for is flopping. She’s basically gonna have to do what the label wants in order to make a profit aka more motivations.

Yeah I don’t get the discussions in here. The uptempo is coming and she is excited for it (assuming the leak video is the same song ). Normani only went to the MET to keep her name out there and meet with Megan. She ain’t do much else but that from the clips we’re seeing, so people are reading too much into her body language. The silence and delays are scary though. If she’s not taking this time to get the video, song, and album photoshoot done…I believe the album will probably get delayed again (but it definitely will come out this year).

The more she delays the harder she’ll flop. She isn’t SZA.

The label is in shambles if you ask me. I’ve never seen a label hold back so many of their “higher profile” & “new artists” artists from dropping outside Epic Records. Musicians are signed to release music, why are they not releasing anything and the label is just holding them hostage on the roster? It’s just weird. EDIT: I’m not saying Normani is being held hostage, this is more of a general observation. Edited May 4, 2022 by Flare

This whole situation gives me flashbacks to Tinashe’s “Joyride” era obviously not the exact same situation and they’re very different artists but this just seems like a familiar story with RCA…
Motivation93 Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 @Flare didn’t you said you heard some whispering though that May is gonna be a good month?

I just mean the way the era has played out with the label. Also one has yet to release an album and has like 3 solo songs in her entire catalog so not too much
