Normani is dancing toward the release of her debut album ‘Dopamine’ and her latest promotional stop has seen her pay homage to her idols – namely Brandy (who features on the set) and Janet Jackson.
Full story below…
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the 28-year-old said of the new material on ‘Dopamine’:
“I’m excited to perform “Lights On.” That’s my Janet moment.”
Continuing, she added:
“They [Brandy & Janet] literally the reason why I do what I do and why I’m able to be in the position that I am in: Black women. They redefined the standard of beauty, but also just the standard in music. I feel like Brandy and Janet have really been disruptive in their own ways. I love the album Discipline by Janet.”
We love 2008’s ‘Discipline’ too. From ‘Feedback’ to ‘Rock With U’ to ‘Luv’ to the title track, it’s super solid – and also super underrated.
Suffice it to say, it’ll be interesting to hear if there any mirroring influences on ‘Dopamine’ when it arrives on June 14.
Can’t b good and never letchu go are my favorites from that album
she knows her music lol, Discipline is underated. I still play that album.
We love to see the girls pay proper homage Some of em too insecure
Gurl bye! You will never be Janet! Even her old age, she is still touring unlike your lazy flop ass. Where is the promo? 💅🏻 she is doing everything but performing… keep talking all these non sense BS won’t save your album from tanking
Shut your hole. You’re evil. Surprise the AIIDs hospice lets you use a computer.
Bunch of interviews that no one’s reading… where’s the performances, music videos, podcasts? Does she think she’s too exclusive or something? Flop
Shes already starting off wrong. “Janet moment” she should worry about making a Normani moment.
ARE YOU JEALOUS BECAUS SHE DIDN’T REFERENCE COPYonce. LMAO. ALL THE GIRLS LOVE JANET AND ARE INSPIRED BY HER….YOUNG AND OLD. COPYonce is an industry illuminati w**** so they relate to her on that level, but when it comes to actually artistry, and overall performing, they know it’s Janet….
