The stage is being set stunningly for Normani‘s grand solo arrival.

Indeed, with Khalid collaboration ‘Love Lies’ rocketing to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week (and still gaining momentum), attention is fast expanding to the 22-year-old’s debut album.

Over the last few months, it’s been confirmed that the New Orleans native has been in the studio with the likes of Stargate, Danja, and Missy Elliott. 

Now, it’s been revealed that her latest creative collaboration is with none other than Sam Smith. 

Details below…

An ardent Fifth Harmony fan, Smith has long expressed his love for all the ladies of 5H and it appears he’ll be elevating that relationship with Normani.

The starlet’s management S10 (a branch of Roc Nation) shared a shot of the studio-bound pair:

007 fans also noted that Smith’s right-hand man Jimmy Napes followed Normani shortly after:

An unexpected, yet exciting pairing.

Suffice to say, Team Normani have really assembled an eclectic mix of names for her debut project.

Not in a long time has there been so much excitement surrounding the launch of a soloist.

We’re amped, are you?!
