The fifth harmony comeback is embarrassing… None of them even did what they sought out to do after their hiatus which could be a result of labels but wasn't their whole thing in fifth harmony "ReAd YoUr CoNtRaCtS"… The fact that Normani didn't even get to promote or perform her debut album that she had planned and tried to perfect for so long is sad honestly.. I'm going to assume Camila didn't want to be apart of the reunion (cause she doesn't need it) or that the trio still can't get over something that happened nearly 10 years ago.. Either way it's sad for them and especially Normani because this isn't the route she was supposed to go… I don't know what they think a reunions going to do for them, all I know is that if they want it to be somewhat successful LET THE SONGWRITERS WRITE!!! That last fifth harmony album is still a mess with their writing on it….

Ok in regards to the le*ks… Killing me- Is really good, I like her tone in the song however I was hoping she would switch to her head voice for the chorus.. Could've replaced "Grip". Remind me - The best out of the three. I'd say deserved "Take my time" spot on the album. 🤷🏽♂️ (even better than rocket imo) Beautiful disaster - Definitely had to be apart of the pop version of the album. Sounds like something that would've came out on an album with motivation. It's a good song, couldn't see it on dopamine at all tho.. My one problem came back with Normani tho…. REFRAIN! REFRAIN! REFRAIN!! 😫 Like girl ok use the same melodies cool BUT CAN WE SWITCH UP THE LYRICS INSTEAD OF REPEATING THE SAME LINES!?!? One of my biggest problems with Dopamine is it sounds like she came up with the song titles and was like "yeah imma just repeat this over and over and let it be the chorus" 😫😭🤦🏽♂️

Albums honestly great! She did her thinggggg!! Only complaints is the vocal effect on big boy & I love James Blake but could've just used his background vocals on tantrums, don't feel he needed a verse. All in all though I'm PLEASED! ALL YOURS THE GOLDEN TRACK THAT YOU ARE!

So yall are telling me I've basically already heard the album…??? Yeah that'll be the last straw for me personally cause ain't no wayyyyy .. When artists songs normally leak they scrap them completely, she said nah let's throw em together n call that the album..? 💿

Hard to understand someone who doesn't interact in the slightest… Normani has had 6 years to figure out a formula and has promised fans MULTIPLE TIMES within those years that once it finally comes, it'll be worth the wait.. Yet, the time has come and there's been minimal. Nothing to gravitate to for the GP, and barely anything for her fans to enjoy. She's entitled to how she wants her debut era to go for sure.. That doesn't mean that her fans who have been waiting year after year for her to have her moments can't be unsatisfied with the way it's resulted. If the budget hasn't been there from her label & her team not being able to book promotions is one thing, but still the dead silence from Normani AGAIN is crazy. 🤷🏽♂️

Orrr maybe some people don't just jump on bandwagons just because they like Normani… Most of y'all are going to eat everything she does up even if it's mid. Y'all are the same ones who were saying most of her leaks were bops when they were mid at most (besides rocket & insomnia) The mix sounds poor compared to the teaser version if you can't hear a difference that's an issue with you and your ears lol. If y'all enjoy it great, however, personally I think with a better mix it has greater potential, but we shall see. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong but until then… Revert back to this post. 🤷🏽♂️

No cause I just played Candy Paint in my car to make sure I'm not tripping and it DOES NOT SOUND MIXED WELL AT ALLLLL!! It sounds like a demo in the first verse?!? When I play the teaser it sounds soo good, what happened to that version? I'm afraid the song won't be taking off if that's the version that gets released at midnight.. 😫😫
-
Her vocals just sound on top of the beat to me.. It's odd. Also if you go compare the YouTube version to the version from the 1:59 teaser it doesn't sound the same to me… The teaser version has a better mix.. Again tho maybe it's just me idk.

THISSS!!!! I've been saying this!!! It's like they purposely do the opposite of what fans suggest! Like there's no way her fans have given all these great promotional ideas and her and her team have just not seen them… The self sabotage is INSANE!?!?! And Like NORMANI we're laying out the yellow brick road, take the dang path!!!

There is no planned "rollout"… Idk why everyone keeps saying they're confused by it.. Normani has made it clear a long time ago that she's not passionate for this anymore. There's literally NO REASON why she hasn't been more active and hasn't been actively promoting. She's literally the biggest let down in the industry and I mean that as someone who has been wanting the best for her since her solo career started. Normani had all the potential and it's horrible that she's had setbacks due to reasonings beyond her control, but now it's like… Ok… Whats the reasoning now??

So the song is… Pretty good. Gutta actually sounds good on it.. My only issue is it would sound better had I known what the heck she's saying in the first verse… Also the bridge irks me that she keeps ending with "time" instead of finding a rhyming word but that's my own personal quarrel lol (Same beef I have over Candy Paint and the "tick tick bum bumping" I hate it lol). Overall I think the song will do well.. Do I think better than wildside??? Debatable…
