Normani has been the name on the lips of many as she charges ahead with her solo career.
The Fifth Harmony star is off to a flying start with Khalid collaboration ?Love Lies? ? which has been performing awesomely on radio and streaming platforms.
In the track?s accompanying video, the budding diva can be seen serving all sorts of sass. And in a new interview, she reveals that she had a number of notable women in mind when executing her moves.
Her words below?
Speaking to VEVO, the 21-year-old revealed she had one day to rehearse with choreographer Sean Bankhead before the shoot. Explaining her inspirations, she said:
Quote?We were inspired by strong female solo performances in music videos: a mix between Mya?s ?My Love Is Like?Wo? and Janet Jackson?s ?The Pleasure Principle? ? with the sex appeal of Beyonce, of course.?

I was messing with Gen
I don?t think she?s saying these are her idols, she?s naming what videos inspired the way she performs.
And she stays LIVING for Ci everyday on instagram. I?m sure she don?t follow Mya.
Yeah, I don't care if she follows Mya on IG. :dead: It was nice to see her inspired by Mya and her solo peformances in My Love Is Like...Wo as well as the other ladies, Janet & Beyonce.
