I get covid probably delayed her rollout but Motivation is almost 2 years old. She better bring a smash. There's absolutely no excuse why Covid is preventing her to drop anything. Major pop artists have no problem releasing new music and doing the entire promo cycle, including getting multiple videos done and booking TV shows and live performances. I'm speaking of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, and Doja Cat.

The way that this thread is more active this year than Normani herself truly is something else

I think her ship has sailed unfortunately. Yeah, I think so too, unfortunately. I'll believe it when I'm listening. What pisses me off the most about this Normani rollout is Doja Cat, for instance, managed to put out two full studio albums since Motivation came out and Normani's was just completely forgotten.

If the song is hot, I think she'll be fine. If it's just okay and the reaction is meh and they make any attempt to go back to the drawing board, she's done.

What's annoying is that she was in a much better position than someone like Doja who was basically on the verge of being cancelled around the time Motivation was released. Normani was getting cosigned and praised by the industry left and right. Now Doja is experiencing her breakout era and Normami doesn't have an ounce of hype aside from her fans.
I blame her team.

IMO, the team(and the label)probably felt she wasn't ready, it happens and it's okay for more development music wise. She was visible everywhere else tho, so that at least kept her name out there.

The frustating thing is that she was ready. All the songs she had released up to that point were solid. Motivation was a smash waiting to happen but they dropped the ball with the lack of promo. I understand the need to develop an artist, but I'm sure she had material enough for a strong EP. Release that, take the public feedback and grow from it for the second release. The problem with waiting too long and scrapping stuff is that expections only grow, if the new material is not top notch there's going to be backlash from her fans as in "You made us wait years for this?". But oh, well. I'm still rooting for her. Fingers crossed.

she's been trending on Twitter for two days now. and all she did yesterday was archive her posts! today at least we got something new.
she definitely has some hype, and I'm (almost) certain that it'll go up from here as she announces the feature, cover art, visuals... no need to worry or call her career over just yet.

Finally!!!
I hope this is a banger and a lasting hit for her. βMotivationβ started off strong and then dropped off the face of the earth within like 2 months.

Belcalis will always serve a visual! Iβm hoping this is big for Normani because this looks like itβs going to be a moment.

I'm one-woman boycotting her thread until she actually releases a full song in any capacity, but I do think that leaked Hilfiger ad is a sign that they actually have concrete plans for it in Q3. BITCH I'M HERE LET'S f*CKING GO
