Hmmm...hard to tell from this short of a snippet but...I’m not feeling it? It sounds dated. I was hoping for something a little harder?

If that caption holds any truth this would be the fifth incarnation of "Side To Side" and it's getting annoying at the point tbh.

This bitch came and DID THAT with Motivation, and has subsequently disappeared. Come back girl!

Ugh, “Motivation” deserved so much better than a mid teen placement pop radio. With the performance of that song I wonder what the overall sound of her album will be. A nice balance of pop and r&b would be nice.

The thing I can't get past is the album being nowhere near completion but yet deciding to drop a big budget single with an equally big budget video to accompany it. It gets even more frustrating when you hear how they basically rushed released all of this just to get it out when the tour ended. Oh and the track was indeed an Ariana leftover track that she gave her near the tail-end of the tour.

Pretty awesome of Riri to lend a hand to up and comers. Speaking of, where tf is the next single? Motivation was about to make me stan for Normani unlike I've stanned for a new artist in a loooong time.. Next year. Normani has mostly been holed up in the studio trying to get the album finished because she is aiming for an early 2020 release, so hopefully that means January. RCA and Mani's team handled Motivation really strangely. They went all out for the video but did not plan any US promo for it past the first three weeks after release, and the one int'l spot they did have set up got canceled and they didn't bother trying to make up for it in any way. It's like they knew going in they weren't going to really try to push it that hard...which kind of makes sense if they knew they weren't ready for a full album launch yet but then if you know you're not ready why do anything before you are? Would it have been the end of the world if things just went quiet in her corner until 2020? IDK. RCA stays making weird decisions. But she managed to pull off a top 40 debut on her own and I'm pretty sure the Motivation video is what scored her an invitation to be in the Fenty show (which then snowballed into this campaign). So I'll take Motivation as a moderate victory with room for improvement. The interest in her is clearly there, they just need to see it through.

I'm not over her yet, but I'm getting impatient. For some reason it just feels like there's been so many wasted opportunities, and like she's lost any of the momentum she had. The way she speaks on her perfectionist tendencies, this album better be every got damn thing by the time it comes out. It just sucks that she's gonna have to start from scratch to get some hype about her.

They played Normani's song during the swimming competition of Miss Universe 2019. I was like.... "Yaaaaaassssss!"

I am going to need this girl to give us some more music. The looks are nice, but a dime a dozen in Hollywood. Play to what you got girl - talent!

It's been months since Motivation wtf is going on? It's the end of the year - nay, decade - and her team isn't about to waste time or coins launching anything new during a dead zone when no one is paying attention. IIRC she didn't confirm the release date for Motivation until about a week and a half before, so I would not be surprised if she does that again. I do think she's finally done recording this album. She was all but refusing to step outside in daylight from mid-September to the end of November (save for a quick Halloween break), but ever since December started she's been out and about several times. At one of those events (The Streamys, I think?) she said a lot of things were coming at the top of the year.

I’m wondering what her next single will sound like, I’m thinking a melodic mid tempo would be the right direction. I think February would be a good time, I’m thinking their trying to avoid Adele or Rihanna

I need an uptempo bop but this looks like it will be a smooth sexy grinding song (which I won't be mad at).
