How do we know this

[@Wendy17719]

I think Silverstein had no experience and she being his 1st client, didn't help. From what I read he was under Jay Z's company so he may have thought that they would be more helpful. He's now in a new area of entertainment management and no longer manages clients.

She needs to fire her PR team and start fresh... I hope she can fall back in love with making music after this bad experience.

No but I agree. We don't have a proper 1:59 music video, there's not enough singles. The album has no visualizer NOR lyrics video. I'm confused with this rollout but at least she appeared in interviews nowadays.

[@yageshabazz3456]

I haven’t stopped playing Still, Lights On, All Yours, and Little Secrets!!! I know some of her fans wish it had more pop songs, but I love the dark, moody, and sultry R&B sound. It reminds me of Brandy’s Full Moon and Janet Jackson. I love that she incorporated a lot of Southern influences into it. I feel it will be more of a sleeper album, but definitely a bop

[@gerardpinckney9673]

Big Boy and Still is Houston coded fr anybody with ears can tell why she put those first. Every song on the album definitely reflects who Normani is as an artist sonically. Moody, dark, bold, sensuous & seductive, but just enough flare to still be upbeat and alluring. I’m sure the visuals will make Zach come around to the first two songs cause I can already see them in my mind with how she’s finna come. I also predict a deluxe album with more songs to accompany the visuals. The heavy hitters for me Big Boy, Insomnia, Tantrums, & Little Secrets

[@mahasitory5762]

The issue is...Normani doesn't know how to sign off on songs. There are moments where she should close a song with big notes or longer notes. If she doesn't have that, she should be layering like hell after the bridge! So the songs don't feel like they ever climax - they all flat line. I want that for her. I want her to sign off on these songs - Normani is that girl!!! She's gotten too comfortable doing a dance break during a live performance instead of ad-libing after the bridge.

Little secrets DEFINITELY should have been either the opener or left off the album completely. Wildside wasn't needed at all. Big Boy and Still grew on me by the second listen. She definitely gave a SOLID first album. The opening was solid paying homage to her roots being born in the A and raised in Texas. Tantrums should have been the album closer. Grip should have been shortened. Now rather than call this a defeat. Drop some visuals, do some more appearances, do some award show performances, go on a month long vacation, and then start working on her sophomore album. Still rooting for her ❤!

Free tattoos and also fun things to take videos and pictures with. I have never in my life witnessed an artist do something like that for there fans maybe Taylor swift and ari but they just did like casual just listen to the album and i think Taylor made cookies or whatever for her fans.

We all know that her management could do a much better job of handeling her press releases and promotions but despite all of these things, Normai continues to show us that she has what it takes to capture our attention. I also think that for a first album, where so many people are falling short, Normani was still able to give us just that, a first album. I cannot wait to see the visuals because they will absolutely strengthen dopamine a a whole and I look forward to future Normani albums.

[@dtree123]

other than the obvious dance tunes i wanna crack off my neck to ("Candy Paint", "Big Boi"), my favourite cuts are "Insomnia" and "Grip" "Insomnia" is a masterpiece; from the Brandy sample, to that dirty kick knockin the whole way through, to the beautiful melody and cadence on the verse and especially the chorus, to the elaborate instrumentation and classic 2000's style vocoder ad-libs ugggghhh "Grip" is my sneaky fav and probably most played. I love an effortless album cut that sounds like it came from the lubricity of being in the studio.... The lil whistle-like lick with the nasty beat, and the sexy lyrical ideas floating in and out- catching ur ear and disappearing back into the beat. What makes it genius for me is the CONCEPT + SAMPLE! "And here is G.I Joe with Kung fu Grip!" Old school G.I Joe advert to build the whole beat, song and concept around that P that grips differently!!!! ARE U FUCKIN WID ME! We need to shout out "Starrah" AKA Brittany Hazzard ... The cadences she writes with/for Normani are the secret sauce, ever since i heard "Wildside" I knew she was on some shit, and that "pull up in the" section at the end is Starrah... Did my research and she is on another level, as a writer she can thread a cadence that sounds like a ghost is sneaking up on your ears, and the sweetened, smoothed out trap inspired formula they have found for Normani's music sets her apart, and suits her dancer coded staccato perfectly.... Album was definitely worth the wait... excited for more, but rockin wid dis for now....

The rollout is trash and it’s so disappointing because she did something artist haven’t done in a long time.. she dropped a solid body of work, the whole thing is just so good and because of the rollout a lot of people don’t even know she dropped an album to experience it 😩

[@SimplyMimiNitreese]

I’m going to be honest I believe a lot of people are disappointed because as fans you didn’t get what you wanted which was a full Pop Album. I’m truly glad Normani doesn’t want to be confined to just one genre because then what she’ll become boring making the same music and style over and over again. I’ve been a supporter since Fifth Harmony and have enjoyed all 5 girls but in my opinion they are all better as Solo Artists it just seems like the other 3 can’t catch a break. We should be grateful Normani didn’t just give up and quit when life became overwhelming for her with everything she went through. I definitely can’t wait for the visuals I know she will bring it and her album was a 9/10 for me I’m so proud of her accomplishments, we really need to learn to allow the artists room to grow and be creative, also it’s okay to take time to establish your art Normani is a brand and I don’t believe she is the type of artists to put out BS and say it’s her. We are too used to microwave music here one minute, gone the next.

I’m just glad she FINALLY released it! Now just keep them albums coming sis!

Please support Normani! For those who keep asking about her music video for Candy Paint: if you're willing to help pay for the music video then please by all means do so because RCA sure as heck isn't going to do it. Normani had to spend over $1 million of her own money to pay fund the Wild Side music video: in a time when the average American couldn't even afford $1000 for rent because she believed in it. People do not believe when we say Black Women are truly SABOTAGED in the music industry. Producing an album is NOT CHEAP: people charge about $50K to $200K per song hence why it took her some time because she is doing this all by herself while supporting her parents who were suffering from cancer. Meanwhile RCA invested millions into Tate Mcrae's music career, used black contemporary culture and marketed it to the masses for profit. Please buy and stream Dopamine ~* !!! It's literal sonic perfection ^_^

This is why I loooove Zach!!!!!! We are always in tune musically!! I literally said “Insomnia” is the single as soon as I heard it. It’s my favorite song on the album and I literally replay it the most! Ugh that song is just pure perfection!!! He said the same thing with Tyla’s “Jump”. I swear me and Zach be on the same wave.

[@kamialexis4831]

Knowing how she is the visual artist that she is, that is a BIG missed opportunity and this would have elevated her debut era for her and I hate THAT for her so bad. Regardless, I enjoyed the album! Solid ✨ I hope it does so well! I wished she would go independent!

[@badguybixch1737]

if Normani has 100 fans, i'm one of them. if Normani has 10 fans, i'm one of them. if Normani has one fan, it's me. if Normani has no fans, i'm dead.

[@KevnMadeIt]

I love the album. I would’ve loved it if she included pop songs cuz I don’t want her to box herself into rnb but I’m not Normani and it’s not my album but from a fan perspective, I would love for her to do more pop AND we need visuals! ❤🚀

[@marlowerogers1151]

This album hits with a great sound system. Listen in your car it will win you over more

[@tamikiajones2815]

🚀Dopamine🚀 is a 10 out of 10 I told y’all, this was gonna be out of this galaxy 🌌 light years away She does not disappoint. Sincerely, thank you Normani.

[@Abymilde]

Insomnia and Lights On needs to be pushed as singles. It will bring back her hype.

[@KayVenezia]

I was shocked at how good it was like a good body of art!!!! Now if she can convince Ryan to get in the booth and stayyyy cause her last single HYHF gave….rich sensational late 80s/early 90s tease rock and R&B tease!

[@jjfiend]

Insomnia is literally insane…she’s gonna mess around and be top 5 in my Spotify wrapped

[@tahzpalma3202]

As an audiophile I must say that this album reaches another level when played with devices that can deliver some bass texture.

[@brionnahenry9749]

[@tatum635]

I wish she would have put “last best thing” or “touching myself” on here. Ugh

[@tobamii]

This ate

[@adamdevereaux2713]

Nah, dis ain’t it. 😂 Da only songs dat feel out of place is “Little Secrets” and “Wild Side”. They should’ve switched.

[@psa7961]

the album listening party was done in the garage so on video you couldn’t tell what you were hearing but you could hear the production. she didn’t want the music to leak because it was filmed.

[@Teagenrose1]

I was there and we couldnt hear any of the music it was literally white noise in the background that was dumb onTHEIR PART. This is an album release party you have no PROMO around this album you would want the 5000 people to here the album and RUN THEIR MOUTHS and CREATE HYPE. Bur instead we were focused on autographs, lambos and the fanfare of it all insgead of building an AUTHENTIC WORD OF MOUTHSpread LIKE FIRE RESPONSE. A miss. She looked cute tho.

[@niablee]

@@Teagenrose1LOL I could tell ALL of this from the footage 😂

[@kiwin2383]

If it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't have known she dropped the album 😢

[@mayajeffers6840]

Little Secrets isn’t getting enough shine! it’s up there with Insomnia and Tantrums for me 🔥🔥

[@trentjohnson3302]

I think I expected more uptempo than I expected. Sometimes I felt like the background music was louder than her voice. I mean I’m glad we finally got it after 6 years. She will improve from there. Her tour will sell though, so she should still be proud!

[@RodneyakaBlue]

Very solid album for Normani. Zach when you said come on Janet for "Lights On" I said Yassss Bitch she giving us Miss Janet Damita Jo Jackson DOWN. That song was a nod to Janet. Love your review.
