If she's recording music then everything would be signed and it would be a done deal. Because the label would be paying for studio time. When she signed to a label in the first place she announced it etc. So the fact that she's recording music means that she is independent and it's coming out of her pocket.

I still don't understand why not put on a headset …people still can tell she's lip syncing. And about new music…. it might be sooner cause she's DEFINITELY independent …it might not get a big budget since it's gonna be out her pocket. Ally Brook is able to drop songs and so is Lauren.

What exactly was done to hold her back?…signed to a label…worked with big producers…put out multiple songs with big budgets…motivation had a huge video and an mtv performance. Most artist don't get half of that until they produce a huge hit. Nobody was sabotaging her.. the label was just waiting and looking for a hit and when it didn't come they kept sending her into the studio. With motivation they put out a huge video and a huge performance and usually labels wait to see if the song picks up before they put more money into it. Motivation never took off on radio or streaming or sales. Then it was the cardi b song …they were hesitant because of the last push so the investment wasn't as much …they put out that song …yet again it didn't take off after that ….ANY artist isn't gonna be backed after multiple attempts. Look what's happening to Lizzo ..even when she's had multiple HUGE eras …look at this era.. she put out a few songs and NONE took off so now they aren't investing as much. This isnt a Normani thing…it's a record industry thing especially in this current market. Look what lizzo is doing …the record label ain't promoting so she is doing it HERSELF …pushing and promoting her own work. Everyone in this industry is trying to survive ain't nobody wasting time trying to sabotage anyone…it's business if your not generating you are ignored

Why is it always someone else's fault …or someone against her …holding her back…sabotaging her etc etc. It's been the same narratives. She had a whole interview on YouTube and we didn't learn anything new about her or her music. The same stuff and the same narratives. Kehlani Isn't threaten …Normani last album and music was so long ago…she hasn't toured really

Why are we back ok camila??? Regardless of any of this she was nominated for a Grammy and it wasn't her first nomination. And she's won 2 Latin Grammys. Most artist would love to even be nominated. now back to Normani lol Candy paint did nothing …I know you guys liked it but it wasn't a strong song …they even tried to make it go viral…..wild side even with cardi and music video Didnt go anywhere. .her strongest songs were love lies and dancing but those songs were lead by other artist she just came onto the song. Im just saying a true hit will find its way

I'm talking about a hit…where it can crossover …that's undeniable. Like when I first listened to work from home it was instant …Sabrina carpenter ..espresso ….lizzo about damn time ..Olivia Dean - man I need. Beyoncé crazy for you….tyla : water.

Normani
Yeah that's true…you could be right At this point the focus should be the music and her figuring out her sound. Once she's more consistent maybe a major label will want to sign her if they haven't. People are focused on the wrong thing …the music is what she really needs to figure out because as much as some love her first album it just Didnt have HITS

All I'm saying is that a label isn't paying for studio time if a deal isn't signed. If a deal is signed we would have known about it even if they are putting things together …hits daily double…rolling stone …billboard..one of them would have announced. Her being in the studio now means she's doing it on her own. Which is probably best …that's probably why she is saying she feels no pressure and having fun

Normani
Yeah then stop bringing her up. She has absolutely nothing to do with Normani career. Now back to Normani. There's only 2 options …1: there isn't a label Change or 2 she's independent. No way she's recording new music if she's signed to a new label there would be an announcement. Independent is her best bet …with dopamine not doing well they aren't gonna invest in her ….so there's just no point. Labels aren't signing people right now unless you are a huge influencer with huge following or your streaming numbers are huge.

Normani
You just making a whole bunch of things up lol…even a simple google shows….. Famila came out after pandemic ..there wasn't a tour …multiple labels bid for her…and yes famila did flop but still produced BAM BAM which was top 2 song for epic that year behind future and was nominated for a Grammy only 2 other artists got nominations lol. BUT……Yet again why are you bringing up Camila in a Normani board. We were discussing NORMANI's label situation. Let's keeps this about the artist at hand and not bring other people into this discussion that has nothing to do with normani career
-
Normani
I don't know what camila has to do with this but you literally just made that up 😂😂😂 Camila was literally nominated for a Grammy and that song ended up crossing a billion streams. But this page is about Normani I don't think we should be discussing other artist

Normani
I'm confused what y'all are talking about? ..she was under keep cool…distributed by RCA she wasn't on the main label directly……Keep cool got shut down and she moved over to RCA. I'm the one who said she STILL at RCA even though she isn't on the website. Where did I say she isn't at RCA ??

Normani
Remember she was never officially under RCA specifically …she got moved when that other record label closed down. All I know is even though she's not on the website nothing is official. There would be a label announcement if she's already recording because that would be under the labels budget. So if they are paying for studio than it be a done signed deal. My theory is she is independent and that's why she's recording.

Normani
Guys she is not at a new label she's still with RCA and I don't know who put that out there that she left. She doesn't have music coming out anytime soon …she's in the studio but knowing how that label is not prioritizing her I don't know what the timeline is. But I wouldn't expect new music this year. Maybe she might jump on a collaboration. But nothing was set up to roll out with the mask singer.

Let me give you an example Tanasha usually sings live and does a lot of dancing just like Normani…but you can tell because you hear the mic when it Here's the thing if we aren't honest about what it is your setting her up. And there's nothing wrong with lip syncing. Janet did it ALL the time and everyone knew and no one cared. And Janet is HUGE. I say put a headset on and just dance. But if she doesn't want to fine…just make your pre records sound live…take some of the effects off the vocals…allow more breathe. It doesn't have to sound perfect. Im truly saying this to be helpful
-
Normani
Like Zachary Campbell said she just needs to fix her pre-records. They just expose the lip syncing. I don't get why she still hasn't taken that note. Britney and janet were so good at that …the pre records had breathe and rawness ….. they weren't perfect

Normani
The reason they gave made no sense…people were already at the concert and watched the other acts perform with no interruptions or issues. By that point the protest was over it was literally night time in LA. I was watching updates on the protest and people were heading home way before

knowing how her team works this is gonna be it for a few months until fifth harmony stuff. I think when she said she has things up her sleeve late last year …this is what she meant. Plus this label stuff I don't think has finalized as much as y'all think it is. She still has RCA as her label and if she was on another label we would have heard something by now. Usually when an artist moves to a new label billboard or hits double daily has the scoops but it's been crickets
