Normani looks set to sail to new levels of success with the video for ‘Waves.’
The 6LACK collaboration is the latest taste of the 22-year-old’s hotly anticipated debut solo album, which is due later this year.
Ever since her turn in Fifth Harmony, the New Orleans native has been renown for her dynamic abilities as a dancer and all-round performer. Traits she showcases in earnest in the vibrant visual.
Watch Normani as she continues her exciting ascend after the jump…
It’s official: Normani has arrived! If it wasn’t apparent before, she adds quite the exclamation mark here.
Visually, the video is delicious and the performance therein delivers on all fronts.
Slayed!
SHE’S HERE!!!
Yes but we all need to purchase the stream! Thats the issue with black artists, the public just likes and posts but wont support SMH! She will be getting my coins in support along with other quality black artists
First of all.. she is GORGEOUS! Second off, this video is cute and it made me like the song more. Ok Norm.!!!
OH MY FUKIN GOD. I had my doubts but This is it sis! Everything!
This sound, these visuals….it’s so fresh. This is what we need!!!!
More black girls killing it. Please support y’all! I talk ish but my coins are always ready! Let’s make this song chart!
Nice try…. she still ain’t Beyoncé. She can be the feminine side of Serena Williams. Lol they look twins btw
That’s sad cause ur a white girl trying to shade Serena Williams looks. This ain’t it sis, yours be getting your “Clarissa Explains it all” asš handed to u if you even eluded to that in person but we know you ain’t about that life…. Felicity
Truth hurts sometime. Everybody knows She ain’t no Beyoncé!!!! I’m not the Asian stupid jasmine so don’t u coming for me. Bye Felicia.
she’ll do things artistically and dance wise beyonce could only dream of
Thank God she’s not beyonce. She would have made this video look try hard and basic af.
@SMH You stan for Nicki Minaj… and you talking about try hard? Lmfao. Ok girl ??♀️
SHE HAS ARRIVED. https://youtu.be/jk9gEXUWrUM
She can be the feminine side of Serena Williams. Lol they look twins btw
lmfaooooo and still slay harder than camel’s pet flopped roach h0 lmfaooooo ?
Normani gives me everything I was hoping for Alexandra Burke (which Burke is a FAR better singer).
She’s so hard to be s***….remind me of a beyondfake video….
We already got a basic bish trying to sound s***….
No thank you
Next
lmaoooo let’s see your fave do better ugly. oh yeah that’s right lmfaooooo ???
She is really beautiful and a good dancer but I still haven’t seen anything that made me feel like I was getting something different other Beyonce teases and Tinashe’s “BOSS” sound all over this record but it lacked the creative approach with her vocals to compliment the dark sound beat.

It really does sound like this… RCA TRIED IT!

This sound is not a Tinashe sound… it’s a General moody r&b song that’s been made by multiple artists and not pioneered by Tinashe. Ur giving her way too much credit.
Jazel, name them?
The Weeknd, Jhene Aiko, FKA Twigs and Tinashe all came out the same time with mixtapes of indie alt-R&B.
So let’s not! 🙂
Where?? This sounds NOTHING like Boss. Lol Anything to try and push her music. ?
I just really love this!
Yes Normani, I love this!
Good song and easy s*** BEAUTIFUL visual vibe, including 6LACK’s feature.
It’s all in perfect harmony. ?
Yes Normani! This is what I’ve been waiting for from her. She’s well on her way. Can’t wait to hear what a whole album from her would sound like.
She’s beautiful. My fav!
Baby she’s EVERYTHING!!???
cute video by Serena Williams but *YAWNS* Im not buying it… Lol ?.
Normani is just the Black Ariana Grande with less commercial appeal and weak/boring Vocals.
Ariana Grande can dance? Wow i didn’t know Ariana was a stage blazer can you @ me some of her hottest dance breakdowns?
Less commercial appeal?
So because she is a Black woman and not light skin you won’t support?
Why are we our own worst enemy?
You would rather support a white culture vulture than your own. Pathetic!
Really dont come for me when I didnt or never acknowledged your a**…
You’re really coming for Jasmine Sullivan…she can sing circle around all your basic fav…
Dont worry. About her shes making money ..money youll never see in your whole life…
You have been dismissed
she aint everything.. stop hyping her up like shes the next Bey or MJ cuz bish aint
She is Normani
She’s a chocolate Sensation & her styling is AMAZING!!!???
She’s arrived and knocking at the door but someone needs to answer. We get it Normani, you can be sultry and s*** but its all becoming more and more of the same thing. Get a choreographer and put the skills you have to good use instead of just whining and flicking your hips.
The concept of the video was good but the execution was poor, and after watching Ciara’s video which had less of a budget but image and dance was better is what she needs to be getting into.
All Ciara did was stand in place and wind her hips. Normani gave interpretative dance choreography. You must be blind.
Obviously I’m not blind as i saw the video (sigh) As i said, Ciara’s video had a lower budget and Ciara has a style and i’m saying that Normani should create one.
Normani def has potential, but we cant compare her dancing to Ciara. Ciara has been doing it for the past 15 years and can still dance circles around these girls. Furthermore, its krazy how people talk ish about Ciara but Normani is beautiful, can barely sing, and has a stage presence (just like Ciara) and everyone is on her nutz. #Hypocrites
OK NORMANI!!! YOU CAME AND MADE YOUR MARK DIVA
This is giving me Beyonce Sweet dreams/Ghost/Deja vu type visuals. NEXT PLEASE.
This video was done better tho.
love the braids!!! this is amazing https://youtu.be/jk9gEXUWrUM
Oddly this outstanding video makes me pray Tinashe doesn’t fade. If she can get it right.. her and Normani have the potential to be the next it girls/ new generation top performers. A collaboration between them two, 5 years from now?. They both are technically trained dancers too. My God?
We are entering exciting times❗️
Mani u slayed per usual
NORMANI Is That B****!!!
Afrofuturism is the WAVE. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! Her being the cosmos in the background was BRILLIANT!
I purchased Normani’s songs…The video makes me like the song more…I want Normani (and TInashe and FKA Twigs and DAWN) to succeed. Having said that, she has got to work on crafting her “something” that sets her off. Watching the video, I kept seeing well executed Beyonce. Perhaps she should work with Twigs (and a new stylist) on crafting a visual signature that is different…I will be watching.
