Normani came up as a member of the five-piece girl-group Fifth Harmony, initially put together on the second series of the X Factor USA. After three albums - and the sudden exit of Camila Cabello - Fifth Harmony splintered, but allowed Normani to go solo. Signing a solo deal with RCA Records, Normani guested on buzzy tracks from Khalid (Love Lies) and Sam Smith (Dancing With A Stranger) before energetic debut single proper, Motivation (produced by Max Martin and co-written by Ariana Grande) signaled the arrival of a future superstar.
While her emergence was perfectly timed, Normani's solo rollout admittedly hit some rocky waters post-Motivation. It took her nearly two years to follow it up with the Cardi B-featuring Wild Side, only for her to disappear again. But things seemed to move towards a breakthrough, in 2024, Normani will (finally) release her debut album, DOPAMINE.
