Big Boy and Still is Houston coded fr anybody with ears can tell why she put those first. Every song on the album definitely reflects who Normani is as an artist sonically. Moody, dark, bold, sensuous & seductive, but just enough flare to still be upbeat and alluring. I’m sure the visuals will make Zach come around to the first two songs cause I can already see them in my mind with how she’s finna come. I also predict a deluxe album with more songs to accompany the visuals. The heavy hitters for me Big Boy, Insomnia, Tantrums, & Little Secrets

The issue is...Normani doesn't know how to sign off on songs. There are moments where she should close a song with big notes or longer notes. If she doesn't have that, she should be layering like hell after the bridge! So the songs don't feel like they ever climax - they all flat line. I want that for her. I want her to sign off on these songs - Normani is that girl!!! She's gotten too comfortable doing a dance break during a live performance instead of ad-libing after the bridge.

A solid debut
The listening party was for the fans, We could hear it in the garage the point of it was so the songs didnt leak because when you record your phone mic cant pic up all the bouncing noise. i will say for a debut and from people calling her "nomoney" that listening party with giving expensive every single thing was free, Free merch tshirts (with custom designs) posters, etc, free drinks yes alcohol, unlimited drinks. Free tattoos and also fun things to take videos and pictures with. I have never in my life witnessed an artist do something like that for there fans maybe Taylor swift and ari but they just did like casual just listen to the album and i think Taylor made cookies or whatever for her fans. I traveled across the country and was willing to pay for merch as well and she DELIVERED!
Big Boy was an OPENER like I stood up when that song came on
she still have the chance for a redo… follow through on the roll out by releasing a deluxe version of her album with music videos and big features. make everyone gag.
I think that this album was a solid body of work for sure, Normani has been through a lot to say the least, and yet she did not allow her personal life to stop her or hold her creativity back. We all know that her management could do a much better job of handeling her press releases and promotions but despite all of these things, Normai continues to show us that she has what it takes to capture our attention. I also think that for a first album, where so many people are falling short, Normani was still able to give us just that, a first album. I cannot wait to see the visuals because they will absolutely strengthen dopamine a a whole and I look forward to future Normani albums. She has so much going for her and this really is just the beginning.
unrelated to normani zachary you look tf good!
other than the obvious dance tunes i wanna crack off my neck to ("Candy Paint", "Big Boi"), my favourite cuts are "Insomnia" and "Grip" "Insomnia" is a masterpiece; from the Brandy sample, to that dirty kick knockin the whole way through, to the beautiful melody and cadence on the verse and especially the chorus, to the elaborate instrumentation and classic 2000's style vocoder ad-libs ugggghhh "Grip" is my sneaky fav and probably most played. I love an effortless album cut that sounds like it came from the lubricity of being in the studio.... The lil whistle-like lick with the nasty beat, and the sexy lyrical ideas floating in and out- catching ur ear and disappearing back into the beat. What makes it genius for me is the CONCEPT + SAMPLE! "And here is G.I Joe with Kung fu Grip!" Old school G.I Joe advert to build the whole beat, song and concept around that P that grips differently!!!! ARE U FUCKIN WID ME! We need to shout out "Starrah" AKA Brittany Hazzard ... The cadences she writes with/for Normani are the secret sauce, ever since i heard "Wildside" I knew she was on some shit, and that "pull up in the" section at the end is Starrah... Did my research and she is on another level, as a writer she can thread a cadence that sounds like a ghost is sneaking up on your ears, and the sweetened, smoothed out trap inspired formula they have found for Normani's music sets her apart, and suits her dancer coded staccato perfectly.... Album was definitely worth the wait... excited for more, but rockin wid dis for now....
This is why I loooove Zach!!!!!! We are always in tune musically!! I literally said “Insomnia” is the single as soon as I heard it. It’s my favorite song on the album and I literally replay it the most! Ugh that song is just pure perfection!!! He said the same thing with Tyla’s “Jump”. I swear me and Zach be on the same wave.

“Still” I feel like if you’re not from Texas/Houston you won’t really get it or get into it. It was definitely a nice homage with lil Easter eggs to Htown from the Mike Jones sample, her reference to “Back Then” in the opening line, Travis Scott’s infamous adlib, R.I.P Pimp C, the chopped and screwed outro.
Little secrets DEFINITELY should have been either the opener or left off the album completely. Wildside wasn't needed at all. Big Boy and Still grew on me by the second listen. She definitely gave a SOLID first album. The opening was solid paying homage to her roots being born in the A and raised in Texas. Tantrums should have been the album closer. Grip should have been shortened. Now rather than call this a defeat. Drop some visuals, do some more appearances, do some award show performances, go on a month long vacation, and then start working on her sophomore album. Still rooting for her ❤!

It's not about shaming and shading artists, it's about having constructive conversations, giving an insight into how fans and admirers can contribute to the work. I think it's so healthy and valid. Thank you, Zach! And, btw, I love you as an artist too, I've become a fan of your work, your music and everything you do
The rollout is trash and it’s so disappointing because she did something artist haven’t done in a long time.. she dropped a solid body of work, the whole thing is just so good and because of the rollout a lot of people don’t even know she dropped an album to experience it 😩
Production on this album is 🔥🔥🔥
As an audiophile I must say that this album reaches another level when played with devices that can deliver some bass texture.
I absolutely love this album!! I enjoyed 11/13 songs and that's rare ❤
I’m going to be honest I believe a lot of people are disappointed because as fans you didn’t get what you wanted which was a full Pop Album. I’m truly glad Normani doesn’t want to be confined to just one genre because then what she’ll become boring making the same music and style over and over again. I’ve been a supporter since Fifth Harmony and have enjoyed all 5 girls but in my opinion they are all better as Solo Artists it just seems like the other 3 can’t catch a break. We should be grateful Normani didn’t just give up and quit when life became overwhelming for her with everything she went through. I definitely can’t wait for the visuals I know she will bring it and her album was a 9/10 for me I’m so proud of her accomplishments, we really need to learn to allow the artists room to grow and be creative, also it’s okay to take time to establish your art Normani is a brand and I don’t believe she is the type of artists to put out BS and say it’s her. We are too used to microwave music here one minute, gone the next.
Knowing how she is the visual artist that she is, that is a BIG missed opportunity and this would have elevated her debut era for her and I hate THAT for her so bad. Regardless, I enjoyed the album! Solid ✨ I hope it does so well! I wished she would go independent!
INSOMNIA IS THAT GIRL!! Best song of the album. I first heard it when it got leaked a couples years, and I kept thinking to myself, “Normani better put this song on the album.” I would go back to it on KZread, so to see it on the album 🥹☺️❤️🔥🔥 Plus Brandy is one of my fav artist of all time. It’s very Brandy coded, and I love that she did backings.
I think I expected more uptempo than I expected. Sometimes I felt like the background music was louder than her voice. I mean I’m glad we finally got it after 6 years. She will improve from there. Her tour will sell though, so she should still be proud!
the album listening party was done in the garage so on video you couldn’t tell what you were hearing but you could hear the production. she didn’t want the music to leak because it was filmed.

I was there and we couldnt hear any of the music it was literally white noise in the background that was dumb onTHEIR PART. This is an album release party you have no PROMO around this album you would want the 5000 people to here the album and RUN THEIR MOUTHS and CREATE HYPE. Bur instead we were focused on autographs, lambos and the fanfare of it all insgead of building an AUTHENTIC WORD OF MOUTHSpread LIKE FIRE RESPONSE. A miss. She looked cute tho.
