I first saw and heard Normani in LOVE LIES, which is one of the greatest music videos ever. Seriously. I’ve played it 6.2 gazillion times and am still not sick of it. Khalid and Normani nail this thing. If you haven’t seen it, check this thing out. Such a slow burn.
Then I kept hearing her on other tracks, like DANCING WITH A STRANGER with Sam Smith–just perfect.
Here’s the first song I’ve seen from her that’s completely hers. Check it out.
Impressive, right?
Most people are lucky to have nurtured one talent to a world-class level. Singing or dancing. Not both.
I think she’s got heaps of talent in singing and dancing. She reminds me a lot of Ariane Grande years ago, before she went supernova, and people knew her mostly for spot-on impressions of Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Shakira or whoever. Wait for the middle of this video where she does Christina Aguilera singing THE WHEELS ON THE BUS, which is crazysauce. I would totally buy an album of her doing covers like this.
VERDICT
I believe, deep in my soul, that Normani is going to take over and dominate the airwaves. Give us moar moar MOAR.
