Cain Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Quote “I had a lot of growing to do. I had a lot of artist development You do this on the job? Unless you're a kpop act and spend years being a trainee, but that wouldn't even make sense in this case cause she 'debuted' in 2013. There's no such thing as artist development with 0 audience feedback cause what are you even developing if you don't know what to play off of? I think she thinks that she needs to debut as this perfect artist but that's not how it works, no one is expecting that from her and maybe even worse, no one might care at this point
magazine Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Guys, let's cut the bs. She flopped and her label/team doesn't wanna release the album. Obviously she can't go around giving PR and exposing her label for not wanting to release music. Or exposing herself for only wanting sucess, that doesn't make any sense. She will continue this narrative for her own sake and protection. That's just logic. This isn't her trying to blame/lie/pretend, it's just how business work. Stop expecting something else. I don't know what world y'all live in.

The fact that she even went as far as flashing her hole on camera and nobody moved
Beyoncé Knowles Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 It's not about artistic growth, development or confidence. She's just lazy! She want success without putting in work. She's lazy with very limited talent

J-esper Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I wish record labels/management would stop their artists putting out statements like this, it feels like Nicole Scherzinger all over again in a sense. It is obvious that her label doesn't know how to market her and that she has a certain vision for herself and that the two things don't seem to align. She has a few succesful features under her belt, she has a few singles under her belt with big features, she has an Ariana Grande songwriting credit for one of her singles. This is not about experience or finding yourself. She doesn't have the artistry to pull a Tinashe and release some mixtapes, but she also doesn't seem to have the proper faith by her label to push her globally through Dj collabs and other pop features. She is basically in record label limbo and just releases a single every 12 months. They should have pulled a Mabel last year and just release an album and keep adding singles, collabo's etc. to it where possible

She was never gonna admit to be flopping, but for some reason ATRL keeps thinking she will. We aren't casuals, we understand how it works. We shouldn't blame her.
Nicholai Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) I'm sad for her. The industry really set her up. She was hyped as the new Beyoncé but she is not. Yeah she was probably the best in 5H because of her performance skills since her voice is pretty average. This sounds bad but she also stand out because she was the black girl of the band and the most beautiful of them. She was the best but to stand out is easy when you are compared to...Dinah Jane??? Ally Brooke (she has bops tho)??? Lauren??? Just weak artists. Being the best among the other girls is not that big of a deal. She seems nice (just a bit arrogant) and Motivation was one of my favorite songs that year but yeah...there is not a real reason to delay the album other than the fear to fail.

Mtjjproducer Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 why is she talking about artist development. ***** you were in a internationally famous group for like 5 years. if you didn't develop in that time that's on you. I'm tired of people blaming her label. Doja and tinashe are/were on RCA. and released SEVERAL projects before they blew up and with label drama. they released material. hell even jojo released mixtapes and leaked music and toured when she was suing blackground. even her band members have released content and ep's with less label support. Normani is just lazy.
Trent W Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I don’t understand why this girl gets so much attention here but not irl.

You just be bumping them gums. Normani has sold over 10 mil units as a solo artist. Both Motivation and Wild Side are platinum. I know you aren't going to hold her to Fair's performance forever.... A song with no video or promotion and performed similarly to songs released by her peers around the same time that actually had videos (Giveon's Lie Again, Chloe's Treat Me, etc). Everyone shows up to bash this girl but where were you when Wild Side dominated Urban radio for months? Normani, even through her own bs, has been very successful and has not flopped and people do show up and purchase/stream her music. Edited June 6, 2022 by WheresJay

You tell your story and how you feel at at particular time in your life. She was like 22 when Motovation dropped. If that album had of been generic, that would have been fine. Now would be the time for a second or even 3rd album that better articulates who she is as an artist. And despite what she says, she did get artist development on 5H. No one gets a perfect manual on how to be an artist. Exactly. She's speaking as if she's only ever going to release one perfect album Like sis... It's been 3 years. You should at least be dropping the lead to your 3rd album by now

It wasn't shade I- I want her to release the damn album. I was very much here boping to Wild Side because I loved that song and I said it multiple times Just like I did for her masterpiece "Waves". I think you're confusing me with someone else.

She needs to sit down and really unpack the last 10 years of her life because something deep is taking place and isnt allowing her to believe and trust. I understand its ATRL and you all don't care about people's well-being, you just want Spotify numbers to talk about but I think she should be given grace because obviously, the girl isn't always feeling great and no one knows the real root of that. Some people can push through it and some people can become paralyzed by it. I know I've had my moments.
xxxlamb Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 i feel like the label maybe stopped supporting her but she is guaranteed an album so shes just gonna perfect it cuz she knows it wont sell and be pushed properly so at least she'll have the acclaim when she flops

"Familia" is definitely a hit album.
