- In this video, I discuss my thoughts on Normani's album rollout. She has been getting so many critiques about how she should be promoting her album, and I think it is VERY disrespectful.

We gotta stop making excuses…. Even tho she’s been out for some time she’s still considered a NEW ARTIST…. She can’t pull a Beyoncé , Nicki or Rihanna & not promote anything leading up to her debut album! So far we have no music videos to everyone hype , no performances , hell we didn’t even know candy paint was dropping until the last min & that was a highly anticipated song that was supposed to her crazy in love moment! This is very lackluster & I don’t care what anyone says if Tinashe can promote her stuff unsigned so can Normani! Still to this very day we don’t even who normani is outside of the music it’s no connection with the fans whatsoever I’ll be surprised if this album do well!
You know what... You're speaking only facts.
Ikr when you speak the truth about this it’s considered “attacking and being racist” like what?
Normani is literally like my auntie, been loving her since the earllllly 5H days. I'm hella excited for this album, and will def be tuning in this Friday 🥹🚀 I know she's gonna serve fr
The album is out this week
No itunes pre order
No CD/Vinyl varient pre order
No website update
No full tracklist reveal
And that is the BARE minimum for a rollout... its time to stop making excuses for Normani. If she wants this like she claim she does then effort needs to be put in.
You’re obviously aware of when it’s out so do your part. You and many others in this comment section clearly don’t need anymore reminders, but you’re gonna use this as an excuse on why you didn’t do your part as a fan. Y’all feel entitled to all those things just because that’s part of the traditional rollout now, but her and her team don’t HAVE to do any of that.
@@komarisyes they do.
@@komarisif they want normani to be successful then they do why you so triggered and mad.
I was rocking with Normani from when she was on X-Factor. She had star quality before the group. IMO Normani and Dinah were the real stars of 5th Harmony. However, as a fan, I will not be delusional to the reality of the situation. This roll out has been a complete mess. I don't understand why, as a fan, I can't be honest without someone saying I'm not a real supporter. After the lackluster Waves and Fair, I was still with her up until 159 became the lead single. It wasn't first single worthy. It was mediocre at best and if it's setting the tone then it's not doing a good job. Then she releases Candy Paint. A song that has been around for the last 3 years or so. She has a whole album coming out and she couldn't give us anything new? Not even a video for a song she has been promising for years? As a fan you're okay with that? No promo on any talk shows or radio shows, just magazine interviews? No pre-order. No official track listing. No videos. 159 didn't even chart on Billboard. Unless you're Beyonce or Taylor, you need Promo in today's market. I have a feeling a visual album will come out on release and she'll have lots of visuals but it's not going to mean anything if you don't have any hype leading up to it. I guess time will tell.
Y’all are so convinced that the first week/month/year sells are the only thing that matters. So many artists dump every video, does all these interviews, promo, etc and maybe they do reach “success” but after the first week/month/year everything plummets. Nobody is even thinking about the album anymore. Maybe she’s confident in what she has created and knows that there’s no need for getting ppl riled up for something they already know is coming. Maybe she doesn’t care about chart success as much as y’all do. We don’t know what she thinks, how she feels, or what her plans are until she speaks on it publicly. Either way once this album is out she can promote it even 10 years later if she wanted to because it’s HER album based on HER life and experiences. As you said, “time will tell”.
This is why i let bipoc women take their time to create their albums cause they always deliver, and and sadly a lot of pressure goes to them than anyone
I appreciate your perspective
That's why it's going the way it is with her.
You and her aren't reading the room.
There’s a demand & there will always be. Anybody who falls off during this time was never a true supporter anyway. I’m sure she’s aware of what we want and we will get that. We’re just so used to artists with no integrity doing ANYTHING to be liked & to sell even when it’s inauthentic to them and their brand.
@@komaris Who's used to artist with no integrity?
You cant give me Beyonce (Motivation)
then turn around and give me Aaliyah (1:59).
There's a disconnect.
Its like she's at a dance party playing slow jams.
And critique does not mean you're not a fan and don't want her to succeed.
She's a young, fun girl. Her music isnt representative of that.
Its borderline boring.
I need some "Motivation" from her!
@@yasinradee that’s a YOU problem. She didn’t give Beyoncé or Aaliyah. She gave NORMANI and y’all are comparing her to the greats because you subconsciously see the potential in her to become one of the greats. Y’all want people to be legendary and great but get nitpick when people are inspired by them and reference them in the slightest way.
I have to agree. There's a disconnect. She created a lane for herself in Urban Pop with Motivation, Dancing with a Stranger and Love Lies. Then she had Wild Side, which is definitely more R&B, pushes Candy Paint for YEARS and we can't even get a video when it's released??? Dropped a few lack luster songs (Fair, Waves and 1:59) Candy Paint should have directly followed Motivation then the album should have followed Candy Paint. I was riding for Normani, but I can't stand by and take part in this foolery. Even fans should be disappointed with this roll out. No promo on daytime or primetime talk shows, no videos, no pre-order, no track listing and we're one week away. I have a feeling she is going to surprise us with a visual album but we can't get nothing before then??
@@slickdakidcandy paint is honestly disappointing the mixing and vocals sound weird and it just sounds very unfinished to me but yes, no music video, no announcement nothing.
I feel like she's ganna be successful
I feel like she's ganna drop the music video of candy paint with the album and the songs a bop and doing good so she's definitely not ganna flop❤❤❤
OVERWORK? Girl this generation lazy cause she hasn’t done anything 😂
You clearly have no idea what happened when Normani went AFK…
And what do you do exactly? Are you in a chart topping girl group?
@@tvtaughtmethismess you don’t even know what AFK means. You know nothing.
@@thisistezz3695 what do you do besides live online being weird?
Stfu. you couldn’t keep up with 4 counts of her dances much less all that shit you’re complaining about her not doing.
I’m not upset or pressed at all I’m just happy she’s making music. If you’re a true fan you should understand what she’s been through. Her parents, the bullying from 5H for examples. I am however concerned for the album commercially. The expectation and bar is set so high at this point I fear if it flops not artistically but in terms of streams and popularity this may be her undoing. Her former band members have been putting out music and have had time to play around with their sound and brand . She’s a bit late to the party I just hope everyone gives her some grace because she is so talented it would be a shame to let it go to waste
Normani can’t be compared to any of her peers. As a fan, you should understand that and have hope for her in my opinion. I think we tend to forget that the ball is in our court once this album drops (the one everyone is clearly already aware of even with little to no promo). If we want to see her win, buy the album, stream, and support her in whatever else she has coming that has yet to be announced. After all these years I’m sure her & her team knows what we want but we just have to be patient and stop expecting her to move out of fear because of what everyone else has going on.
"Ya'll are not A&Rs" Do I need to be a cook to know that the food is nasty? Do I need to be a lawyer to know that a crime is being committed? Do I need to be a doctor to know if a b is sick? Why was Candy Paint teased years ago and just being released now? Everything seemed delayed with her rollout and because things are being delayed, she MIGHT not be able to capitalize on the hype and the momentum...I will always love Normani's artistry but acting like her rollout is not chaotic is silly...you need to get off stan twitter bc irl no one is attacking this girl relax
It's not about the surface-level understanding of things hence all those analogies you gave. All of this is social science, and many of you have no clue what you are talking about. You're just opinionated and comparing her path to what has already been done when it is so much deeper than that. Also, "Candy Paint" was LEAKED years ago! It was not teased. I'm not on "stan Twitter". The comments on this video alone should show you that people don't want to see this girl win.
I understand what your saying but we are her audience her fans allow her to continue her passion by buying her music and by streaming. Also, the rollout is terrible no matter how you put it we should have 1. The tracklist 2. At least ONE music video especially the lead single. 3. Like more interactions. Like I think everyone had more than enough patience and it weird to say we haven't. You can't be overworked without working 💀 we just need her to do what she needs to do so we can support her
Regardless of anything I AM SO PROUD OF NORMANI!!!!!
She waited until she was fully confident in herself as an artist to release a body of work that she believed in instead of forcing out cookie cutter run of the mill dime a dozen factory music.
Each and every song you can tell was perfectly crafted and meticulously invested with effort and care.
This album has been on repeat since last week, and much like SZA's SOS she should receive every nomination in the book for this gorgeous work of art that was well worth the wait!
OMEGA LEVEL THREAT DETECTED!!!! ^_^
nope. sorry but you guys coddle her too much. its been 5+ years of course i expect a proper album roll out. she has all but said she just wants to get this album released and over with and i find that to be a very off-putting attitude for an artist who should be excited about her work. i understand her family was going through a hard time, but she never made an announcement saying she was taking time off for her family which would have been totally understandable. instead she left fans hanging for years with the promise of an album that has yet to materialize. she is checked out & her music is lackluster tbh. I predict a flop and if im right I dont feel bad for her. she has set herself up to fail
I haven't heard one person ask for her
I've always rooted for Normani since the start of her solo career. I felt she, and the other ladies, were awkward in 5H, imo. Understanding everything that Normani has gone through to get to this point (her parents to extreme bullying, tension within 5H), I want her to have some success. Seriously.
She has so, so much talent. But, as of right now, she is a novice in the art of solo career, especially in terms of releasing full bodies of work. Which means, no matter the talent or potential, business acumen must also back that up. Anyone at that stage is a beginner, and so they must begin as a beginner. Talent is great, but the truth is, it can only carry you so far. I really want the best for Normani, but am worried about how her first album will do commerically. People still gotta buy copies. We appreciate the integrity of the art, but these high-level record execs love the money and getting returns on it at the end of the day. It's sad but true.
Artistically, the album will be great. But I'm not sure what her, or her teams, expectation is, for it commerically, given what they're feeding into the project in terms of advertisement, interviews, connecting with the general public, etc, which extend beyond but also feed the body of work, for any kind of artist, unless they are of "Beyonce" or "Sade" caliber. Which is not overworking. Even Adele does a few interviews, then she dips. Its just letting people know, I'm here, my project exists. Nobody really knows anything about Normani outside of her music. I think an introduction to her in general would build a general foundation/fanbase. She doesn't owe us anything at all, but again, it would be nice to know just a little bit who we're watching and supporting.
I don't think there's been a well-enough focus on a foundation, which can establish longevity or at least a steady streak for a few years, you know? But all of this, your video, and my comment, is speculation. We'll see what happens when the album comes out. I'm truly wishing her the best and can't wait to hear it.
I definitely agree with the majority of this response. She finally said herself in an interview with Billboard that she owes it to her fans to let us know who she is beyond just the music & performances. I want her to win as well, but I think most of us are worried about wanting the album to have instant "success" with outstanding numbers straight out the gate, but that does not really matter because that can come with time. The release of this album may be her tool to help her communicate with us and let us know who she is without it seeming like she's just trying to sell the album. All the massive "promo" and additional teasers would not be a smart move in my opinion because we've been on the edge of our seats all this time already.
I know she hasn't been following the route of a traditional rollout, but her fanbase is definitely existent, solidified, and aware of what's about to take place. She has the support & demand, but there just hasn't been much content out for them to get behind, but I believe this album releasing will show that. People that are overly worried about the promo and rollout seem to be lowkey wanting to play the convincing game with people who are NEVER going to be interested in Normani simply out of spite. However, time will tell and these are all speculations as you've said. If anything, I just hope Normani is happy with what she has created and whatever the outcome may be.
Preach
Sorry but its over for Normani there is nobody really checking for her , that time gone
yet here you are so thats somebody 🤷♀
What rollout ? The girl isn’t even doing interviews to promote it ! She doesn’t appear on podcasts or magazine cover or even freaking vlogs !! She needs to take it seriously or people won’t care
She’s done several magazine interviews and video interviews on TH-cam. Just say you aren’t interested, don’t read, and move along.
@@komaris Dazed last week and WHoWhazWear in February… that’s hardly a proper roll out.. but hey I get you’re her fan and want to defend her relentlessly. 👍🏾
With all do respect, it's trash. Normani's team has let her down since 2019 and I genuinely feel bad for her.
I dont know her parents situation and the whole cancer thing.... but what kind. Cuz thst was a while a go. Maybe they in remission. And if they was on thier death bed she would not be making music. Trust. The whole cancer excuse is a lame excuse. Not saying it is something to be taken lightly but hall act like her parents are on hospice. 😂 calm it down.
She might just not have the start power! She might have some talent, the and she might have some star potential but the stsrt power .... no one can get in the way of that. That is like a natural disaster. It comes and it comes unannounced.
I just see her keep trying but its not going anywhere. I dnt even know if it will go anywhere. Her name is becoming stale. She being known for all the wrong reasons.
1.) You’re very inconsiderate & terribly dense, so I know you couldn’t care any less about my response to this comment.
2.) Some people actually care about the wellbeing of their parents/family in general. Cancer is a very life-changing disease that affects the dynamic of a person & their loved ones lives even beyond possibly being cured. Also, cancer can DEFINITELY return.
3.) Questioning Normani’s star power is CRAZY. You wouldn’t be still checking for what she has going on or leaving a comment to this extent about a person who doesn’t have “star power”.
4) What else is Normani known for other than being extremely talented, beautiful, and highly anticipated?
@komaris it can return. But has it. Stop trying to blow it up more than. What it is. I know how it works. I have seen first hand many family members come back from cancer and free from cancer more than a decade in. So while you speak on a worse case scenario I am speaking on what can potentially a stale excuse.
You’re ignorant, inconsiderate, & contradicting yourself.
Normani admitted to standing in her own way.
She coming to flop cause the yes men in her life like you
You have no idea what a yes man is lmao
She thought she was giving high fashion but she was really giving boring 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't know why people be making music and not thinking about their composition your competition as a black woman is Beyonce Rihanna and Nicki Minaj do you have to have something about you that pops she does not have the a factor at all she doesn't even have vocals than anybody wants to listen to who's like oh let me put on that normani song
Comparing a woman who has yet to release her solo debut album to legendary women with established music careers of well over a decade is insane. That is an extremely high expectation y'all have for a woman that is just so "talentless".
There’s not even a competition, y’all just want them to fight so badly
@@komaris that's how reality goes in the job field you have to compete in the college you have to compete its composition it's art your biggest competition is always other artists that's how life goes if you don't have any talent you should just bow out that is how reality goes don't be mad at the Capricorn for giving it to you straight no chaser I don't sugarcoat s*** I'm a realist
@@GregFelix-du9ll Your zodiac had nothing to do with this. Hell I'm a Capricorn Sun too, but ignorance is still ignorance. Having an opinion that you are very passionate about and stand firm behind does not make you a realist when your comparisons are simply UNrealistic.
We gotta stop making excuses…. Even tho she’s been out for some time she’s still considered a NEW ARTIST…. She can’t pull a Beyoncé , Nicki or Rihanna & not promote anything leading up to her debut album!
