I hope she'll beat that horrible disease again. My prayers are with Normani and her mum.

Rodney Jerkins said he’s been in the studio with her for about a month.

So 2020 passed and she didn't release any solo music. I'm legit concerned about her musical career at this point. Def something has been going on between her team and her label.

I can't believe it's been more than a year since her last proper single dropped. This is the textbook definition of how not to build hype.

Is there any possible truth to their previous contract holding up the release of solo projects since they owed Epic one more 5H album?

Is something going on with Normani? She haven't even posted anything on Instagram or Twitter, not even a retweet. It's weird she's been so quiet

I can't believe it's been more than a year since her last proper single dropped. This is the textbook definition of how not to build hype. Normally I'd be all 'well obvious statement is obvious,' but I swear I spent almost all of 2020 seeing people bring up her name for no reason at all. Nobody: Random person: 'I don't see it for Normani, she's boring, why do people keep talking about her?' Me, an actual fan who shrugged and occupied herself with Future Nostalgia to pass the time: She even trended briefly on New Year's day, without any organized effort on anyone's part...just happened to have enough fans online at the same time saying they hoped that we'd finally get some new music from her in 2021. I'm rooting for her hard but won't lie, I am confused as to how this girl is in people's minds like that? She didn't do anything post-Covid except show up for a 10-second spot in WAP and buy a house that she now refuses to leave, except to go back to TX for the holidays. She won't even do some masked-up pap strolls. Sis has a whole boyfriend and the only reason anyone found out was the dude posting an IG story at her Halloween gathering. It's weird and counterintuitive, but I think I've reached the point where I no longer worry about time as a potential obstacle for her. Her refusal to seek attention is somehow part of her allure. (Now, RCA miraculously not bungling the roll-out for her once they get started, I still worry about that.) Is there any possible truth to their previous contract holding up the release of solo projects since they owed Epic one more 5H album? I haven't seen anyone put that rumor forth outside of 5H fans so I'm not sure I believe it, but I suppose it's not impossible. We know Dina LaPoult said their original contract was one of the worst things she'd ever seen, so who knows what concessions she had to make just to get the four of them out of there. Even if true however, there doesn't appear to be anything preventing the four from releasing as many one-off singles or short EPs as they would like. Ally even flat out said she probably wouldn't have an album ready until 2022, but has released several individual tracks and plans on continuing that throughout 2021. So there's not a full excuse for the complete lack of Normani music in 2020, unless Normani and/or RCA put a foot down and said full album or bust. On a sorta related note - how would you guys feel if the next thing we heard from Normani was another collaboration? I'm kind of torn because I feel like she really needs to release a solo lead single next before she gets written off as someone who can't sell a song on her own. But OTOH I'm in such a drought as a fan that I think that I don't care about that anymore as long as I got some new music from her.

It's weird she's been so quiet Twitter doesn't surprise me, she really doesn't bother with that app anymore. Instagram is odder because she does have stories fairly regularly and she's been liking all of Victoria Monet's pregnancy pics, so I know she's logged in pretty much every day. But she hasn't made an actual IG post since November, I think. She might have decided not to make posts unless she has something to promote. She even trended briefly on New Year's day, without any organized effort on anyone's part... I love you. May you be blessed. leave me alone, I had to do a double take when I saw it. I do mean brief and I may need to check my Twitter settings again because at one point my s**t was set to New Jersey lol. Still thought it was strange.

Hey great things happen all the time without us expecting. One time I ordered breakfast from McDonald's and there was an extra Sausage & Egg McMuffin. Not an extra hash brown, A WHOLE SANDWICH!
To say something on topic, I actually quite enjoyed Motivation. Just a cute fun pop song!

That sounds amazing. I really hope they go all out with the lead. I like to think Normani still have good graces with the GP but she certainly lost the momentum by not releasing or doing anything after Motivation and Diamonds.

I like this snippet but it’s not lead single worthy in my opinion.
