MTE. It’s all been comical to me since Fair’s release. I’m still heavily invested in the album and will happily purchase and play when it arrives but I’ve let go of any expectations now, sorry but none of them including Normani have a clue what they’re doing strategically or commercially so best to let that go

They had a better chance supporting it as a tease promo single in Nov-Dec 2021 then dropping something uptempo in Feb-March. I don't think the song was recorded by then, to be honest.

Thank God some of us are all just like... Gone. No worries, no anxities, just entertainment and laughs. I had to go through STRESS till I got to this point

Trust & Believe Ion know if you're joking or actually mean it Flare Let me give a quick astrological read on all of these alledge plans. There will be a Full Moon in Gemini on May 16th - (her sun sign, and also a moment of releasing things holding you back). Then, there'll be a New Moon in Scorpio on May 31st - that's not only her birthday, but also her moon sign. New Moon represents new beginnings, changes. It's a very nice time for these plans to actually happen, I'm sure she'll see some success if they all come to be true. May 27th + June 17th release. And that's my exoteric reading for the day

Lizzo & Chloe Bailey have been feeding me enough lately. I don’t need this stress anymore! Coincidentally, Normani’s Sirius XM commercial just came on TV. This is why she doesn’t care about music, she’s too paid and booked without trying, I fear! Edited May 10, 2022 by Flare

nooniebao Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 If the whispers of the next single not having a video shot yet (iykyk) are true, I wonder what the hold up is? Waiting on funding/sponsored content for it? @Flare I agree with you that it does seem like the album’s done but the silence since the NYC April press run is odd. Will be interesting to see what the next video looks like $-wise. Especially considering Fair seemingly got a pretty long shoot if that’s all she shot at the end of March.

The worst part of all is that there's a proportion of the nation who still blindly believe in everything that she and her team do and will make excuses for it and enable it. The nation community on twitter is...quite something.

Was the shoot not for the next single? That’s what I always thought.

Topaz Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 The fact that I'll never hear that "I cook u dinna in evenin babe, no drama" song or snippet ever again from normani.

At this point, I'm hoping the video does not come out at all, they need to completely move on to the next single. The only time I would be fine with having a video for Fair is if it gets released during the album release week so it can act as a cute gift for the fans. The next single better have a video READY to be released simultaneously on whenever it's coming out (hopefully on the supposed date aka 27th).
Jared Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 It's not the Fair video dropping is going to have any negative effect on the uptempo. If anything she should release the Fair video and announce the uptempo at the same time. Will bring attention to both songs.

As soon as the May 27th date was floating around I figured she wouldn't perform at the BBMAs. That's like a 2 week difference. Now if she doesn't perform at the BET awards I'll be disappointed, cause that would be perfect timing.

I'm not bothered by the BBMA's, the lineup is kind of crap I won't be watching unless Mani does end up performing (doubt it) but the BET awards would be great. A first time performance of Wild Side with Cardi and the next single would be incredible! That's really the audience that she should lock in. One show stopping performance there would bring a big shift potentially But as of now there's just no activity if an album is coming in the summer they're already behind schedule

What’s the point of rush releasing a single for such a lackluster night? she can use a viral performance clip floating around it doesn't matter the "status" of the event
popularmoonlight Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I hate this May 27th date but meh if it's what we have, I'll take it. She should at least communicate with her fans, they're literally losing it on the bird app. Everyone and their mamas are getting their album dates out. It's your turn sis.
Motivation93 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Could the person who confirmed the album was 10 weeks away about 5 weeks ago plz stand up or let us know if plans have shifted xoxox
Getlikemike Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 The Normani FaceTime photo the meltdowns are happening everywhere
Space&Time Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) I keep waiting for things to even 'appear' to be coming together for her and they never do. When will it happen? Will it happen? Wild Side was one of the best songs on 2021. Don't understand the long wait for a soft hit song, with no video. Everything she does seems non sensical. Edited May 10, 2022 by Space&Time
popularmoonlight Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I kinda have a feeling that she's gone only because she wants to come back strong. Next thing she's posting is most probably: Single announcement OR/AND Single + album announcement. IF the June date is still going. Which I think it is, I remember she was pretty much gone before WS was announced.
