As the age-old adage goes, patience is a virtue. And, for Normani fans, it looks like that saying may hold true.

This summer will be two years since the singer blazed the scene with her solo breakout smash ‘Motivation.’

Arriving after the Billboard success of Khalid and Sam Smith collabs, the track and its highly viral video catapulted the former Fifth Harmony singer into definitive “next up” territory.

In the time since the music industry ground to a relative standstill due to the global health crisis, but it didn’t stop the star’s work on her debut solo album.

Indeed, she’s been in the lab with the likes of The-Dream, Scott Storch, and Rodney Jerkins.

With anticipation sky-high for the grand unveiling of her new material (which she has been teasing), the 24-year-old has provided an update of sorts.
