mxoonlight Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I don't want to judge too harshly before I hear it, but I feel like she still doesn't understand like what would make what she's looking for click. Depositing into R&B is probably the better choice. The longer success for SZA and Summer and recent critical success for Victoria and Coco make that premise seem attractive, and Normani makes good R&B music. But style over substance doesn't work there and a non-descript bedroom song anyone could make doesn't clear the bar for literally anyone that would still care. Does no one want to write her a decent radio hook? I truly don't get it. Still rooting for her but it's the same BS every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40_L3VE Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Sounds boring and dated. Where is the fun summer bop, Mani? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3disko Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The best thing she's done for her career is stall it for years and rely on hype. judging by the snippet, she would've flopped, fizzled out, and been forgotten years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesar Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 SZA, Summer, and Victoria are all strongly passionate on R&B. Which is why so many people connect & love their music, it helps that they do write there own music, and are all three heavily involved in the process. It makes their music feel/sound more connected to them & more personal which is what R&B is kinda about. I don't really get that with Normanis R&B music, it's missing that element. Her music sounds good but idk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her music sounds good but idk I think it might be point of entry, too. She was a child star and 5H had some of the worst contemporary pop writing, so frame of reference isn't the best. Those three all had long periods out of the spotlight to learn how to make and write music, without the pressure of having to sound commercial on every attempt.

Crank_It_Up Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) I stan Normani but I cannot lie that this is feeling lackluster already…I thought with her getting a new management team, that stuff wouldn't be messy any longer. But here we are: 1. Releasing an album cover then completely dipping for an entire month 2. Announcing a month later that the single wouldn't be coming out for another month 3. Choosing a mid-tempo R&B song as the lead when we've been all clamoring for something upbeat Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the snippet very much and am still seated for new music, but I hope Normani and her team has a plan to excite us fans because making us wait an additional month isn't the smartest decision… Edited March 24 by Crank_It_Up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song sounds good but also, where's the memorable hook? Where are the melodies? Wild Side had that Aaliyah melody (proven to work already) to rely on so it's easy to get stuck in your head. This feels so empty and spacey. Just Waves rehashed (and even waves had a decent chorus). I wanna see Normani make more r&b with GOOD HOOKS. If she wants to be like SZA, Victoria, and Coco…you gotta actually have strong choruses and melodies. The bedroom lyrical content is whatever. It could work, it couldn't who knows. Regardless, RCA seems super invested and even pulled a Gunna feature so I think radio wise, it's covered lol. It should be a cute lil top 40 billboard hit for her. Then, the next single will be more revealing honestly. Edited March 24 by Flare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space&Time Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Am I the only one not mad at the timeline and teasing. What does she have to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space&Time Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) And as an R and B song this snippet is hot af. It may not go to nuumber 1 but it sounds like it has the potential to be Wild side part 2. Once the song takes off she needs to announce the album date for late June and release an uptempo bop during release week and let the chips fall where they may.

Shinning Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Stop telling her to do pop or dance music. Go listen to f*cking Camila Cabello if you want that. Mani obviously likes R&B better and that's the music she's choosing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering because we have no idea what part of the song mani is teasing so how do we not know this doesn't have a catchy hook or chorus? I mean it definitely could. I wasn't super blown away by the Wild Side snippet but I love the full song . Yeah I think the next single will be more revealing and I think she's going to have more than one uptempo on her album.
