I hate her label and team. If it wasn't for Pulse I wouldn't know this was coming. They need to build more hype.

I think it’s safe to say this will definitely be pushed HARD on r&b.

Is she allergic to uptempos or something? This sounds exactly like the last 500 singles she's released.
Give us a damn beat and properly launch your superstar career already Normani!!

Cardi B) Diamonds (with Megan Thee Stallion) Motivation Dancing with a Stranger (with Sam Smith) so I don't get this comment at all. it does sound similar to "Wild Side" in that it is also an R&B record. but that's about it for similarities to her four most recent singles.

^ I don't really count those features as attempts to "break" her into superstardom. Motivation was nice but that was several years ago, and these plodding midtempos are just not gonna do it for her IMO. And I liked Wild Side.
I'm frustrated bc Normani has IT and I would love to see her become huge. Lemme do your A&R Mani !!! ;)

Is that cover an homage to Love Deluxe? The snippet doesn't sound that special and that Auto-Tuned warble sounds horrid.

Like the mid 2000s R&B vibe on this, I suggested she go into that sound

As much as I’m rooting for her and want her to succeed, I’m not here for another random single drop.

That^. And how will they manage to build hype every time around her droplets? As a very wise person here said, how long will she be the next big hot thing without releasing an album in 5 years? Lol

This is definitely album track quality and not radio hit quality.
Her team is useless and she is lost. 3+ years with constant hibernation and planning, humongous hype online, tons of connections, and they still can’t properly execute her breakthrough.

They really don't know what to do with her, eh? This is not it and I guess we're going to have to wait for another 84 years for her next try... only to be disappointed again.

It's a pleasant song. I like it. But it's not a mainstream hit. Which is fine! If this is the kind of music she wants to release, all the power to her. But she can't keep dropping these slower songs, being surprised that they're not huge hits, and then delaying the album and disappearing for six months... only to do the same thing over again. Commit to a lane, please.

I like this….as an album track at best. I can’t see myself seeking this out to play and will probably forget about it in a week.
I don’t understand releasing another mid tempo two Summer’s in a row. And this one is even slower than Wild Side.

Commit to a lane, please. Exactly my thoughts. I’m a bit disappointed that this is the direction they went in. This is pleasant but an album track at best. Did they really not have anything else that screamed SMASH hit? It is evident that the quality of the album is going to be there but knowing how her team and label have been handling this project…I don’t doubt there’ll be a pushback if this doesn’t stick which is concerning.

this is okay overall. I'm not a fan of the post-chorus (?) "ooh"s, they go on for too long. there's like 4 bars of that (or at least it felt like it).
if "Wild Side" couldn't be a stable hit, I am highly doubtful this will.

The vibe I’m getting is that RCA really doesn’t care about Normani or her career/potential anymore. If they did I feel like they would step in and have her release an upbeat track for the Summer and to play on her strengths as a performer. It feels like they’ve washed their hands and let her release the songs she wants to first and whatever happens, happens. They probably got tired of waiting too for her to be ready.

It’s still Top 5 on Urban, and spent 20 weeks on Hot 100 I’d call that stable enough for her standards lol.
