QuoteNormani spilled some cryptic tea via social media on Tuesday (Feb. 8) about the sound of her next single.

via: Uproxx

Ever since she released her epic video for "Motivation" back in 2019, Normani has left fans desperately awaiting a new project. Unfortunately, her official debut has yet to be released, leaving many to hope that this is the year it finally arrives. While we'll have to wait and see about that, Normani recently teased her upcoming single during a Q&A session with her followers on Instagram. It began with a post to her Instagram story that read, "What do you think my next single sounds like?" on a piece of paper surrounded by colorful questions.

Many of Normani's followers replied, with one saying, "I want your next single to sound like I'm on a cloud and I'm just drifting in your sound." The singer replied, "You're so cuteee. This one is really unique and different for me. Probably not what everyone is expecting." Another person said her next song might be an R&B record like her most recent single, "Wild Side" with Cardi B. Normani replied, "Genre bending for sure. It's just a great record" with a crying face emoji.

Aside from these tidbits, Normani did not reveal when the song will arrive and if it will have any guest features. This comes after she revealed that her upcoming debut album is "almost done" during an interview with Ciara.

Okay Normani, let's see what you got.

I'm literally getting really angry. This girl is so triggering. It's giving Ciara all over again. Just inconsistent and LOST.

I hope it's just a "pop" mess. Normani n her team has a flair for the dramatic so at the same time, I'm guessing it really won't be that "shocking" and "unexpected". :dead:

Unlike Ci, Normani can slay a pop mess without it feeling forced and corny.

Her voice is better suited for Pop imo. Motivation was really cute.

Wilde Side was just PERFECTION for me, but yea. I feel like she's more of a pop girl. She would've BEEN taken off if she stayed in that lane. The white gays LOVED her.

are you speculating or is this true? I didn't care for her Calvin mess. I hope they go in a different direction. Like TRUE pop. A Dua Lipa mess.

Not sure if the Calvin mess is this next single she's hyping up, but I would assume. He posted a mess on his IG story yesterday saying "Normani Lead (Vocal)" so there's definitely something in the works

Tbh I don't understand why everyone here thinks she has to do either a pop mess or a R&B mess

There's been plenty of girls who slayed both of those sounds at the same time. Janet, Bey, Rih, etc.

Girls with their own discernable brands? It doesn't work for most artists :udontlookok:

Especially those that don't have a vision for their tea (like Bey and Janet) or Don't have a distinct voice or personality (Rihanna)

Janet, Bey and Rih debuted during a much different time. R&B acts aint easily having multi format hits these days. We know what happened when RCA tried to make Tinashe a pop girl. Some things just shouldn't be forced. Play to ur strengths. Pop radio didn't fuck w/ Wild Side but its still Top 5 on Urban and Rhythmic radio right now, so imo, her team should focus on those formats and have the song naturally crossover to Pop. Summer Walker, SZA, HER and Jhene dont need Pop to go platinum. But lets see what this new song gives.
