Can’t spill it due to how I found out. But she’s doing another track with a recently popular artist. Should be coming this month or next month. And then a single from her after that.

Can you give us a slight hint more?

But think more on the Lizzo side of the artists you listed (in terms of genre). It’s not her though.

Normani looked great at that event and good that she got to see Beyonce again. also i saw the Charlie's Angel's movie today despite the bad review. wanted to see it for Normani's collab with Ariana and Nicki Bad To You . quite a bit of it was played which is alot more than Love Lies got in the Love Simon movie.

seeing on Twitter that Normani's manager has been meeting with Bazzi. maybe he is the collab with her or another of his artists or being signed himself. Camila had a great song with him so i would be all for it .

[jdanton2]

thought maybe Ally would consider dancing to one of Normani's hits on Dancing With The Stars though so far she didn't . one of the other contestants did and because of that Dancing With A Stranger which was outside the top 100 on itunes is #57.

“I Feel Great, Empowered, Fearless, and Beautiful”: Normani Is Savage X Fenty’s First-Ever Brand Ambassador

By Steff Yotka

November 21, 2019

 

There’s no question that Normani is a star. Formerly Fifth Harmony’s best dancer, she broke out with her debut single “Motivation” in 2019. Rihanna has clearly taken notice. First she asked Normani to dance at her Savage X Fenty runway show this September—if you missed the footage, please watch it on Amazon Prime Video ASAP. Now she’s signed Normani as Savage X’s first-ever brand ambassador. Chief among Normani’s ambassadorial duties is appearing in the brand’s holiday campaign, debuting exclusively here.

 

Just before heading into a recording session for her new album—yes, it’s coming in 2020!—Normani chatted to Vogue Runway about Rihanna, lingerie, and feeling empowered.

 

What does it feel like to be named Savage X Fenty’s first brand ambassador?

 

I was very excited and really honored, especially that the ask came from Rihanna herself. I know that this is her passion project, something she genuinely and wholeheartedly believes in and cares about, and the fact that she wanted me to be a part of that meant a lot to me. She is somebody I’ve looked up to for a very, very long time. She’s had so much influence on me in terms of pop culture and as a woman, but also in terms of how she’s able to do things gracefully while being cutting edge, being bold, pushing the needle, and changing the narrative.

 

I think that being a part of Savage X Fenty is an amazing opportunity for me to show women that I’m also here for them too. I love how inclusive the brand is. Being a part of the show and being able to have the opportunity to dance and do what I love was so powerful. It was great to be among so many amazing human beings who deserve to be celebrated because they’re all beautiful—all shapes, all sizes. The show represented everybody. I just love how inclusive [the brand] is and how it gives everybody the opportunity to feel sexy and beautiful and empowered—which is everything that I stand for as well. I thought it would be the perfect partnership.

 

The show in September was easily the most fun I’ve ever had at a fashion event. What was the energy like backstage?

 

Honestly, it was the most fun for me too, and I don’t think I’ve been to very many—I can’t even call it a fashion show. It was a full-on experience. It was a concert, it was very artistic. You could feel the energy, it was really infectious. I was really excited to be a part of it. The crowd and the models were supporting each other.

 

What was it like to perform in your lingerie?

 

To be completely honest, that was my first time performing in lingerie, but [the fact that] everybody around me—the dancers, the models—felt empowered really helped. Also the pieces themselves help boost that confidence. Yes, I perform on stage almost every night and performing is something I’m used to, but like I said I’ve never performed in lingerie, so I had to commit. I did have a conversation with myself: OK, all you can do it commit because you are in lingerie in front of people you don’t know! All you can do is really commit because you are going out there. [Laughs.] That’s exactly what I did. I love to dance and I feel like it came from my heart. Rih specifically asked for me to dance, and so I was just really, really excited to be a part of that moment. I feel like it was really revolutionary and really very special. I’m just really excited to watch the growth of Savage X and hopefully continue to be a part of it.

Hope it's not. All the "took her leftovers" talk will be annoying.

[jdanton2]

Normani is doing a few radio shows in the coming days. the one tomorrow in Tampa FL will also include Sam Smith. hopefully we get a performance of Dancing With A Stranger. they are also doing a show together on December 6th in Inglewood CA. on December 5th we could get a Normani and Ally reunion at the show in San Jose CA also Bazzi is performing there so maybe we will find out then if they have a collab coming. also on December 7th a concert in Rosemont Illinois which could give us a Normani and Camila reunion.
