It’s understandable how her priorities may have shifted.
“Granted, I’m really grateful that everybody’s remained really excited.
I feel like that’s unheard of, especially after such a long duration of time.”

She’s got a point.
In today’s TikTok-tunes timeline, nothing seems long for this earth.
Yet Normani is that increasingly rare pop artist: one who might actually be worth the wait.
Take herperformance of “Motivation” at the 2019 Video Music Awards.
It was a coronation moment, declaring “this is the New Girl.”
But was it too much anticipation?
Normani, for her part, is feeling relief more than anything.
(The singer’s parents are healthy now).
“So I’m really just looking forward to a weight being lifted.
That flush of excitement, contentment, and fulfillment is reflected in the album’s title.
We want the music.'
So it’s representing me being the dopamine hit that everybody’s kind of been demanding.
And it just sounds really good!”
“I listened to it last night in the studio and it still sounds really good.
I feel like that every time I play it.
But you won’t find “Motivation.'
Of all her previous singles, only “Wild Side” made the final cut.
Performing, after all, is where she truly shines.
“I’ve enjoyed the recording process, but I’m like, ‘Put me on stage!
I’m ready to perform, I’m ready to do the videos.’
That’s my bread and butter.
And that’s just where I have the most joy,” she says.
Babes, wake up.
TheDopamineis about to hit.
Dopamineis out June 14.
