Alex Posted August 6 Posted August 6 it's the fact any of the first three songs could've smashed with a good music video & promo 4
kishi Posted August 6 Posted August 6 At this point, I think a live would be beneficial, just to let the fans know how's she's doing and what comes next. I understand she's healing and isn't in a place to interact a lot, but the fans (both hardcore and casual) need some communication from her. 1

I understand she's healing and isn't in a place to interact a lot, but the fans (both hardcore and casual) need some communication from her. This is a load of bulllshit She has plenty of time to attend events and parties, yet there's been radio silence regarding her career and the album since its release week. The interviews that have been released were filmed before the album came out, which makes me question whether she cares about her own career. Even a simple tweet about the album or a TikTok dance would be better than nothing, but we're not seeing anything at all. It seems like she's so focused on making everything perfect that she's not engaging with her fans at all. 3
butterflymimi Posted August 6 Posted August 6 honestly i dream of a time where we could have a had a full era with candy paint, big boy, all yours and insomnia as fully fledged singles with promo but that simply didn't happen and i think it's time we let this all go until she gives us any indication that she's serious about this. it's a shame because it could have been a great era if handled correctly but we're here with just the mp3s so let's just enjoy that, hehe it hurts less if you expect nothing 1
mons†er Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Normani really released her debut solo album and did nothing with it. NOTHING. 'Candy Paint' could've smashed for the summer followed up by 'All Yours' and 'Insomnia'. 2
freshoutthebuffet Posted August 6 Posted August 6 The intro on Big Boy sounds almost exactly the same as the video version of WAP Is it the same sample? 1

Minto Posted August 13 Posted August 13 all yours has been on repeat the way no one knows this albums dropped within my circle is sad i had to bump it at last gathering 2 1
Austin Posted August 13 Posted August 13 I kind of feel like her pride/fear of failure is stopping her from promoting this album. She got two huge big budget MVs in Motivation and Wild Side, so doing something smaller might feel like a move in the wrong direction. But the fact she didn't have ANY videos lined up to promote this album prior to its release was unforgiveable. Like why bother filming a teaser trailer but no music videos 1

SimpleKindofLife Posted August 13 Posted August 13 I really hate how this era has panned out and can't help but think whatever album she had ready in 2019 should've dropped not long after Motivation 1

I think its crazy how this album was released almost 2 months ago.... and there's still no visuals ! we know videos are filmed because of the trailer but we still haven't received them? no festivals, performances, tour dates, hell even tweets !!!!! I truly think a 2019 album whether she resonated with it would have been smart. this is utterly disappointing and idc if you disagree.. but the logic behind this "rollout" has been terrible. we as normani stans cant keep blaming management... sometimes its also the artist. x 1

You have a video on your phone and you think it's cute to keep it away. You took 6yo to record and you took it's cute to drag 1/4 of the songs on the album. You just released an album and you think it's cute to play hide and seek 2
SeeingStars1515 Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Its still one of my favorite albums of this year. lol reminds me of CxH's album - underrated and underplayed

I'll continue to support her and "DOPAMINE" but the endless defending her from naysayers... that's over. shes needs to be held accountable. 4
