Normani set sail on her solo journey this year and made quite the splash.
The Fifth Harmony star earned her first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Love Lies’ and has roused with a succession of fiery promo tracks – such as ‘Checklist,’ ‘Slow Down,’ and ‘Waves.’
Currently on the bill for the KIIS FM Jingle Ball, the 22-year-old has made clear that there’s a lot of exciting developments on the horizon.
In a brief but sweet backstage interview, the New Orleans native confirmed that her album debut is set for a Summer 2019 arrival. Confirming speculation that it’ll be unwrapped after her guest stint on Ariana Grande‘s ‘Sweetener Tour’ in the Spring.
She also opened up about the wives for ‘Waves,’ which features 6LACK.
Peep the chit chat below…
We say Summer is a smart play.
For, excited as folk are for Normani’s “launch,” she’s clearly angling for an enduring career.
In adhering to that path, she’s sensibly building her base (see: Ari tour, testing the waters with promo songs) and establishing her name as one that demands attention.
The time between now and summer provides her a viable window to do exactly that.
We remain buzzed. Are you?
damn that long I was thinking more early next year. ?
I don’t mind she’s working on her own career!!!??
she’s going the traditional career building route….she has the talent. let that make you a star
This feels so organic so traditional… Like truly grooming her, I appreciate them not dropping it at the top of the year.
During those Sweetener opening spots I hope she can capitalize off some good footage and create even more demand…. By March a proper major lead single omg omg the possibilities lol ?
She need to fire her team. Summer 2019 is very long time. She might drop a EP soon. Back to the drawing board
I don’t like her voice
She had the weakest voice in the group but Im here for Beyonce aka Tina Turner 2.0
She definitely needs to work on her voice.
I CAN’T HEAR THE VIDEO
