single Normani f/ Gunna - "1:59"

[dillan]

I need the video to elevate this cause wow this is so unoriginal, boring and basic - what on earth was she thinking releasing this as her lead single from the album

"One five nine"? Not "one fifty-nine"? What would that even mean?

Ppl saying:

1+5 = 6

6..9 ="69"

 

Which would make sense why she wouldn't pronounce it "one fifty-nine" so people would "get it."
 

But im still like…

 

And here I thought "34+35" was a corny title (love Ariana though).  It's just all kinda…ehhhhh.  Cute, but cheesy.

This is definitely her We Need A Resolution, iykyk 

[Lady Claire]

Sounds like a filler song on a Teyana Taylor album

 

I have no problem with her releasing R&B nor expected her to release a poppy track but this is an album track at most, def not the best choice to launch an album campaign. DOA

Ugh girl I'm rooting for you but this Summer Walker reject is not it. Why couldn't she just release Candy Paint with a choreo heavy video? The fact that she's still teasing it two years later but releases mid like this and Fair is so confusing like wtf is going on??

Summer would not release this song

Well they did say reject lol

 

This could definitely fit on something like that forgotten Life On Earth EP tbh though 

[worldwide angel]

i'm obsessed

 

up there with wild side for me 

[formlessminutiae]

I hope Wild Side is a bonus track; they pair well! 

[Motivation93]

I think on twitter she all but confirmed this is essentially an intro single. Didn't say anything about a video for 159 but that candy paint would have one

[izzyinsane]

My GOD this is so boring.

I meant in terms of its performance. WNAR was a good song but not what people wanted as a lead after the monster that was Try Again and its chart position showed that. Her team then had to rush release More Than A Woman and Rock The Boat. 

[Facelessboy]

People are being too harsh on Normani new single. I mean is it first single material no? But it's not a bad song.

damn, someone really lied to her and told her this was a smart single choice...

itʻs a decent album track at best

 

[Arianna Kylie]

a bunch of twinks calling this "boring" lmao it's not for you lol

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

The same twinks running in here to call this song boring, but listen to all these dreary indie-alt pop song -

it couldn't be any more obvious what they're trying to do here.  

 

 

OT: Obsessed

[Sexyzinger]

This seems so uninspired 

[MaxMartin]

candy paint isn't even that good of a single either... it sounds empty with pots & pans..

I had to see a TikTok about the horrible marketing/promo to even know this song came out..

I said the same thing, but at the same time Normani needed to come back with an instant classic like this

 

 

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

This gets better and better with each listen  

[flower moon]

now imagine it with a azealia feature... oh the eating of cvnt that would be taking place

[thatsmydemi]

She keeps releasing the same mid-tempo beats over and over. She's missed the chance to make a big splash in the music scene but oh well.
