Normani. 

It’s a name that’s been on the lips of many in recent months and a name that looks set to be one mouthed by the masses in 2019.

The Houston native found fame as a member of Pop outfit Fifth Harmony and is now being tipped as music’s next seismic solo star.

Armed with the momentum of Billboard smash ‘Love Lies’ (which peaked in the top 10 and remains on the Hot 100 — after 40 weeks), the 22-year-old is gearing up to release Sam Smith collaboration ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ tomorrow.

On the eve of its arrival, Normani’s sizzles a-front of Billboard magazine’s latest issue.

Yet, it’s her accompanying interview that is most compelling of all.

Doing away with the hyper-media trained answers that define many in music, the rising star offered up personal insights into her journey thus far (including the rigors of 5H), her mission as an ambassador for Black women, and her solo sound.

Always a heated debate-starter, the coveted tally saw the likes of chart-toppers Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, P!nk, and Taylor Swift go without mention in (as some fans argue) the correct categories, while hitmakers Sam Smith, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne got no mention at all.

Look inside for That Grape Juice‘s picks for the 2019 Grammy nominations’ biggest snubs and surprises:
