She def needed to go back to the studio and re-record though. Cause she needs to define a sound for herself for her debut era if she is aiming to be this staple in music. Ciara had a sound, Beyonce had a sound, Brandy had a sound, Janet had a sound, Ashanti had a sound, SZA, Alicia, Aaliyah, I mean the list goes on and on. What really is Normani's sound? And when u have a basic vocal like Normani, everything is really in the production. One thing a lot of these artists I named have in common is a producer they connect with that created that sound for them that was different and set them apart.
Normani released Checklist, Slow Down, Waves and Motivation. And ALL 4 songs sound like they were made for 4 diff artists. When Motivation was released, she herself said she asked Ariana 'how do you know when ur album is done?'. And ppl didnt really stan for Motivation, the song. They went up for Motivation, the music video. She doesnt really have a clear direction musically. So she prob needed the time to figure out what she rly wants to sound like.
