Normani came to play approximately no games with her first high profile set as a solo artist.
The Fifth Harmony star joined the likes of Lil Wayne and Lauryn Hill on the bill at TIDAL x Brooklyn fundraiser event at the Barclays Center.
And she showed out.
Backed by an army of dancers, the budding diva took command of the stage with a degree of seasoning well beyond her age.
She spiced up the spectacle with live performances of top 10 smash ‘Love Lies’ and ‘Checklist’ – her recently rolled out collaboration with Calvin Harris. Also part of her set was previously unheard song ‘Waves,’ which seems to feature rapper 6LACK.
Check out her showing after the jump…

1. Waves

*********************
Normani slayed!
She’s magnetic on stage, drawing all eyes to her every move. A trait that’ll no doubt serve her well as the spectacle around her inevitably grows bigger and brighter.
What’s more, she possesses a poise, polish, and potency as a performer that has her ready-prepped for any platform. Put simply, to watch her is to watch a ready-made star. One whose success feels all sorts of imminent.
If we had one tweak, it’d be for Normani to have incorporated at least one 5H song (‘Work From Home,’ perhaps). For no other reason than helping the masses make the mental connection to where she’s come from.
Still, it’s understandable why she’s keen to strike out on her own accord. After all, those that “can” …”should.” More power to her!
