Camilitau.u Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Why isn’t she working with any culturally relevant producers? why are Ryan Tedder and Starrah the main ones executive producing her album? Where is Max Martin, Pharrell Williams? Ryan hasn’t had a hit since 2014. I’m starting to get worried her debut is going to flop. Her manager never describes her new music as being smash hits or anything.

Flare Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I for one do not care who’s producing the songs/singles on her album. Big name producers =\= hit songs. I think every issue Normani has relates to label, team, missed opportunities, and execution. The quality of the music has never been a concern and probably never will. She’s really good about keeping a “standard” of sorts.

If Normani was putting out yeah music the gp would’ve stopped checking for her ages ago.

She’s really good about keeping a “standard” of sorts. Expand I worry it’s going to be a Fair situation, good quality output but nothing commercially viable or nothing that stands out in the crowded music scene, just by looking at the names of producers. The producers kinda make or break an artist. If it wasn’t for Timbaland, we wouldn’t know Aaliyah. Normani needs to stand out not just be good, she has it way harder than her peers.
handstomyseIf Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I feel like her stuff with Pharrell, Darkchild, Danja and Boi-1da is scrapped because she took too much time to release.
Lucky#17 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Starrah is excellent. Just off WS her&Mani have fantastic chemistry. This makes me excited again!

lovely88 Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Starrah seems to specialize in moody r&b music. Which is what I expected based on Wildside and Fair. Hopefully she helped Normani find her own sound and voice. Edited May 7, 2022 by lovely88

Expand On 5/7/2022 at 9:31 PM, PlayingWithFire said: I'm hoping the ones you mentioned are safe Expand I fear the songs are scrapped/have been passed around to other artists. She can't expect A-list producers to wait around for years for her to be ready to release; especially where there's no guarantee that the album is going to perform well commercially. I really hope I'm wrong but if this is the case, which it likely is, then she really is her own worst enemy A losing for the nation.
Crank_It_Up Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Starrah did a fantastic job with Wild Side so I am excited about the fact that she is executive-producing the album. My only concern is the radio silence - why is there nothing happening? Especially when the album is supposedly coming out almost exactly a month from now.
Flare Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 @Getlikemike Tea! Reveal hidden contents @Camilitau.u It’s funny you bring up Timbaland because he produced Justine Skye’s ENTIRE last project (which was GOOD AS HECK). It should have been her break out for Urban audiences, instead it flopped to hell and back. So I truly believe, producers names don’t help anymore. The most no name producers make like every other #1 on BB Hot 100. The industry used to bias established big name producers but that era seems to be fading as far as an individual producer breaking out a superstar artist is concerned.

Expand That’s because there is no album coming in June. Normani’s project probably is getting pushed to July at this rate. I do think it will come out summer though because that Fall Tour plan is more or less set in stone (barring anything crazy happening like massive COVID outbreaks).

Normani is enough of a name to generate buzz and listeners on her own regardless of big names producers because Harv produced Fair and it didn’t come with massive critical acclaim.
Getlikemike Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Also while I’m here do we think the bbmas are still happening? I remember something about bruises on her legs and such(?) so do we know if they’re done announcing performers? Or what if it’s giving “and world premiering her new single ‘Normani’ “ I need her to gag us like that!

This is the last possible week she could get announced so it’s all or nothing. Single rollout/BBMA announcement would have to start Monday. They can’t delay that any further if it is indeed happening (start taking your bets on a bbmas performance everyone ). I guess BET Awards is more likely since the next single will 100% be out by then and BET will BEG her to perform finally on the mainstage. Edited May 8, 2022 by Flare
popularmoonlight Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 Unless she’s announcing the next single this week, I don’t think she’s performing at the BBMAs :(
Delusional Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 Ryan Tedder is working on the album? That’s incredible news hello!! It’s giving smash hits, her Apologise is coming

Expand Ugh don’t remind me so much material wasted because Crying in the Club and Hey Ma flopped. Ryan being on the album is NOT the tea. He’s so bland and uninspired. What place does he have working on a black womans R&B record in 2022?
