Normani - 'DOPAMINE'


Recommended Posts

Posted

I feel like little secrets maybe belongs on a diff album lol. I know she said she wanted to he genreless but I don't know if it fits. OTHERWISE. This is stellar. After a six year wait honestly she was never going to deliver a perfect album but I'm very impressed. Just wondering where the Meg collab went

There's an early Rihanna vibe to Little Secrets.:jonny5:

All Yours

Insomnia

Distance


 

Idk maybe the rest will grow on me. Its not bad, just not doing things for me. For context, I love the r&b girls. 
 

I also hate when old singles that did well get tacked onto albums. It feels so cheap no matter who's doing it. At least wild side (solo) would have brought something new to the table.

 

happy she finally gets to release this though :clap3:

This is a very solid album. She did damn good by taking her time! Indeed a perfect fusion of pop and r&b. A sound that, for me, is uniquely hers. This is how I always envisioned her music to sound like. 

 

There's this atmospheric feel throughout the whole album. The production and her vocals are done so greatly. There's even songs different from anything she's ever done which is so good. She can put on such a great show with these songs.

 

The re-work on Insomnia took me to heavens. Loved that Brandy closed the track (full circle moment honestly). Let me listen some more so I can review all tracks. Right now the only skip is Grip but let's treat  that as an interlude.

 

10/10 album for me as of now. This is what I waited 6 years for. :heart:

 

PS: No matter how old it is, Wild Side deserved a spot in this album and it's the PERFECT closer. She made this album after creating WS. There would be no Dopamine without WS.

this is real cute. i was worried but she actually delivered a cute album. there are some songs that i feel like could've been left off or replaced but maybe they'll grow on me.

[Chorus]
Love me (Love me) with the (With the) lights (Lights) on (On)
You're fuckin' with a star with a mean face
Come, let me show you this love (Let me switch you)
Love me (Love me) with the (With the) lights (Lights) on (On)
You're fuckin' with a star give me rounds of applause, you know I can perform


[Post-Chorus]
Lights, lights
On
Lights on


[Verse 2]
Make you come fast like a '98 sports car
Blink twice, it's already gon' be on fire
When I ride you, something like a jet ski
Might finish just by lookin' at me (Yeah)
You know everything that I do, I'ma make it look sexy
And I know it's not fair to make you stare
But tonight I want you to

it's a very standard pop&b album. that's my #1 genre so im glad she stayed in that lane. i think the tracklist is on point- out of the many many leaked tracks and singles, there's nothing on this level of quality other than Insomnia. Fair doesn't belong here, but Wild Side does.

 

for me personally she just doesn't have that oomph, that special something for me to really root for her. there are some tracks here that I enjoy, but could be brought to life by a more charismatic singer. basically, she's the Rita Ora of R&B. had this come out in like 2019 i would be more charitable. I'm pleased that she can put out a solid album as many artists can't even do that.

I'd say it's kind of atmospheric pop…but it's def got R&B undertones.

 

its extremely catchy and mellow at the same time. Idk how to describe.

I enjoyed it but the material doesn't justify the multiple delays and all the time this took, some good tracks but nothing outstanding, just what I was expecting. I'm glad she got to release the album she wanted but I hope album 2 is more adventurous, I like the album but I feel like any R&B girl is capable of releasing this... let's wait for the visuals, she always delivers in that area

The album is okay, I honestly just wish it was more upbeat, I think it needed more songs like Big Boy and Take My Time.

The mixing sounds kinda off on a lot of this album
