All yours is up there in the same bucket with needed me and I need to know! Slay me mama

 

the first part is such a slay, one of the best debut albums I've heard in a loooong time! Hope she gets her flowers grammys and the hits she deserves

Little Secrets would fit perfectly on "Talk That Talk" whew. what a fun surprise that track was! 

If Candy Paint isn't a radio hit from this album, then nothing will I fear. I think this would have been a great 2nd album to experiment with but still feel a more pop sounding with R&B infused would have been better as a long awaited debut. 

What a DEBUT 

 

I'm on my third listen and I am still so OVERWHELMED

 

 

 

As someone who has followed her career (with all the accompanying trauma) since X factor, part of me still hasn't fully processed that this is real 

 

Production? Sublime, sleek.

 

Artistry? Self-possessed, specific. Dare I say, inventive? She balances the sonic bombast in her portrayal of her southern roots with a more intimate, experimental blend of pop and r&b that could only come from her. Her unique signature. Cohesively her.

 

I do have some critiques from a songwriting perspective (I was left craving more diversity in scope and subject matter because I know she has so much more to say beyond love and romantic relationships) but overall….

 

Excellence was served

I've already listened to the album three times. It's just so good. 
 

But…for the love of God, why did they go with 1:59 as the "lead"? I don't care if it's because of the Gunna feature but…Everything else would've been a better representation of the album and while 1:59 is still really good, simply pales in comparison. 

Wow, lots of good impressions! i'm excited to listen to the album today.

Heard a few songs, and it is solid! If only she released this when there was more hype around her, but better late than never!

this new version of candy paint 

 

second listen and insomnia is definitely my fav 

 

I'm so sorry for doubting you Normani, you did that

any more singles or videos they plan on pushing? if i were her team i'd shamelessly tack her droplets on the deluxe. what are the odds of her touring and does she still have a deal with rca?

she sounds phenomenal on take my time she has exceeded my expectations  

Why wasn't Insomnia the lead single 

this is actually really good, guess it was worth the wait after all, eh?

Where are the physical versions? I want to buy one just to support her!

Reviews so far:

- The Guardian 3/5

- NME 4/5

- Independent 3/5

 

After several more listens, I cannot get over  the immaculate production, adlibs and melodies. Honestly, her vocal growth is amazing. She IS undoubtedly one of the best vocalists today. Other than her impressive range, her sultry tone, and delivery on certain tracks distinguish her from peers like Chloe, Sabrina, and Tinashe, giving her songs a distinct edge.

 

Congratulations Normani, you have delivered an exceptional body of work. 

 

 

My trinity 

1. All Yours
2. Insomnia
3. Little Secrets
