humbz Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I'm really enjoying the album overall. it's an enjoyable contemporary ciara-esque r&b ride, but take my time and distance are pretty mid. it's hard to believe that she doesn't have other two better tracks at the vault... lol tomorrow I'll give it a proper second listen.
Mke1979 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Those that have heard it in full, would any of Normani's droplet's fit on this album like Love Lies, Dancing With A Stranger, Motivation, Checklist, Waves etc.

Love Lies would be the easiest fit of the list. Fair would work too of the leaks, I could hear Ocean Club working with some more intense production and vocal ad libs as well as some of the other random/unnamed snippets we've heard over the years Edited June 13 by Friendlyreminder 1
mar Posted June 13 Posted June 13 im in love with this record i love all of the new songs and the new stuff she added to the pre-release singles 1
jdanton2 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 it is tough waiting till midnight in the US when it is already out there . i waited this long and less than 9 hours is not that bad.
TheBoss Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I liked Take My Time, at least way more than Distance and Grip, those two are the only tracks I'm not in aww with
Moth 2 The Flame Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Just finished listening to the album. Initial first listen I would rate it 5-6/10. It could've been better. The stand outs were: All Yours - this track should've opened up the album as it better represents the overall vibe of Dopamine Lights On Take My Time I feel like her best tracks were mainly the dark moody rnb songs than the hard hitting upbeat ones, plus it showed she has potential to do some disco dance type of music with Take My Time. The first two opening tracks are very wtf to me.
Jukebox Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Are there any songs like Sledgehammer / That's My Girl / Worth It on this? 11

TheBoss Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I'm so shocked at Little Secrets, the name and placing on the tracklist made me think it would be a cute guitar driven acoustic R&B filler, I wasn't expecting to get into the ring to fight over ****, WORK! a ******* BAWPP
Moth 2 The Flame Posted June 13 Posted June 13 The run from All Yours - Insomnia + Wild Side tacked on at the end would work as a perfect EP.
Curaga Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Oh wow, the album came! I was half-expecting her to go Sky Ferreira based on all the posts/jokes about her delays Big congrats to her though! I'll check this out when it's out for me!
Supervillain Posted June 13 Posted June 13 (edited) Has anyone noticed that the album mix of Candy Paint is so much better now? It doesn't sound like a leaked mp3 file anymore Edited June 13 by Supervillain 1
kyliefever2002 Posted June 13 Posted June 13 after a few listening i am so in love with this album its so hard hitting and cohesive, so much so that wild side fits perfectly in it and doesnt feel like it was tackled on the tracklist at all 5
Flare Posted June 13 Posted June 13 If the world was fair, this album would be launching Normani directly into the SZA, Summer Walker, main r&b girl debates + grammys talk. Dopamine is like opening a new box/lane neither SZA or Summer are covering in r&b. There's probably some unknown artists doing music like this but Normani is a more famous/trendy name making this high quality of output. Especially, someone more known for performances than individual songs. Her sound rebrand is so real here. 6
Space&Time Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Um…. this album is GOOD. I'm only on track 5 and sis ain't missed yet. Such a shame that this album wasn't set up for success. I hope something catches on and it eventually blows up. 1

ratedreid Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Grip, Little Secrets, Lights On, Candy Paint and Wild Side are the highlights for me. Solid debut album from Normani. I'd give it a 7/10. I just hope a follow-up album doesn't take another 5 years.

Space&Time Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Okay, I'm on track 6, WTF. All bops so far. What kind of emergency do we need for people to gravitate to sis. She did her thang!

_jays_ Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Wait. I was too harsh on Take My Time. This is very Kaytranada-lite.
Space&Time Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I love Wild Side and I'm glad it's on the album. But something about that transition from Little Secrets into Wild Side feels so off. Like it feels like it got tacked on the end. I would have put Wild Side before after 1:59. My only criticism of the album other than the fact I absolutely do not like Candy Paint. Give Normani her 10's! 1
