The pop/R&B star and former Fifth Harmony member released her debut solo album, Dopamine, in June of this year, featuring singles such as “Wild Side,” “1:59,” and “Candy Paint.”
Future Aspirations
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Normani offered a glimpse into what fans might expect in the upcoming year, teasing that the sequel to Dopamine could be arriving sooner than anticipated.
When asked about her goals for 2025, she stated: “Release more music, festivals, and tours. Give me the opportunity to release a new album, a completely new work. I promised I wouldn’t make you wait that long anymore! This year I’m just getting ready and moving more rather than preparing.”
Personal Reflections
When discussing her current inspiration, she replied, “Life. I’ve been through so much in such a short period of time that I feel like I have a lot to talk about. The creation of Dopamine took four to five years, and I’ve experienced a lot, but today I still have so much happening that I want to share and enjoy for myself.”
In a four-star review of “Dopamine,” NME mentioned: “In an interview, she attributed the record’s lengthy production to personal struggles, as she supported both her parents through cancer treatment and faced a musical identity crisis. ‘I know what it’s like to be able to put out records that I don’t believe in,’ Normani remarked in February.
“Dopamine” also features a dynamic duet with James Blake titled “Tantrums,” wherein Normani delivers one of the album’s most vibrant lines: “You’re nobody—you’re just someone I fucked from time to time.” It reflects the album’s cool, composed vibe that exudes confidence. Although it took six years, ‘Dopamine’ sounds like the album Normani was meant to create all along.”
Recently, Normani had to withdraw from her BET Awards performance in June due to an injury. The following month, Tayla Parks publicly criticized her absence of credit for her contributions to the song “Insomnia.”
