Normani makes for a striking figure in the latest issue of Schön Magazine.

The Fifth Harmony flamethrower delivers diva demure in the feature, which comes a week after she secured her first solo top 10 with Khalid collaboration ‘Love Lies.’

Within the publication’s inner pages, the 22-year-old opens up about her influences, upcoming album, and more.

How does the transition from girl group to going solo feel?

[The] adjustment was a milestone considering being in the group was all I had ever known. I learned about navigating through life and having to be an adult at the age of 15. I never in a million years thought this would’ve been my reality so young. I have learned to understand people much better and, despite the circumstances, find the strength to remain myself. I’m stronger and better prepared because of the group. I am also very thankful for this opportunity. I’m discovering new things about myself every day. I have had nothing but amazing support from my fans and I am ready to give them something they can jam to. I’m really excited to reintroduce myself to the world. Perhaps all of me for the very first time.

What should fans expect from Normani in 2018?

I am currently focused on my debut album. I have spent the majority of my time in the studio writing and recording. I thank my fans for being incredibly devoted and encouraging throughout this process. They have been patient but the wait will be worth every second. I’m so excited for myself but especially them.

Normani’s as yet-untitled debut album is slated for release later this year/early 2019. [Source]
