'See you in 10 years': Internet doesn't buy Normani's claim of dropping long-awaited debut album in 2024

PARK CITY, UTAH: Fans have been awaiting Normani's solo debut album ever since her hit girl group Fifth Harmony took an indefinite hiatus in 2018. Fans have eagerly awaited new music from the R&B songstress and pegged her as the next best thing in female music stardom.

While she found some early triumphs in Platinum-certified hit 'Motivation,' her long-promised debut solo album remained elusive despite multiple proclamations over the years of its imminent release.

So when Normani announced in a recent interview that her debut album will see the light of day before 2025 arrives, her fans took the piece of news with several pinches of salt.

Normani's elusive solo debut album

Normani first embarked on a solo career following Fifth Harmony’s hiatus announcement back in 2018. She found success with her debut solo single 'Motivation' in 2019, which was certified Platinum. However, no full body of work materialized in subsequent years, despite promises that new music was imminent.

The star released singles sporadically, including features like 'Diamonds' with Megan Thee Stallion in 2020 and 'Wild Side' featuring Cardi B in 2021. But fans remained hungry for a complete project they could sink their teeth into. Speculation began swirling that her debut album may never come to fruition.

However, after years of waiting and a few updates here and there, Normani surprised fans by confirming in a recent interview at Sundance that she has changed creative direction and her debut album will unequivocally drop this year.

"The singles have changed; you guys won’t know what’s coming," Normani revealed during a Sundance Film Festival press event for her new film 'Freaky Tales.'

"It’s literally the best music that I’ve ever made," she continued, adding it will "be worth the wait" for her dedicated supporter base known as Normani Nation.

The 27-year-old is now working with new managers Brandon Creed and Lydia Asrat after splitting from her former team in mid-2023. Longtime fans are hoping that this change in representation indicates a revived commitment to her recording career, as per Rolling Stone.

Normani provided no details regarding release timing or what to expect sonically. But her confirmation that 2024 is the year her solo chapter truly begins in album form sparked skepticism across social media.

Internet doubtful about Normani's debut album release

Despite her proclamation, fans online seemed cautious to take Normani’s word after so many years of projected deadlines for new music have come and gone. One X user expressed skepticism, stating, "She’s gaslighting herself atp." Meanwhile, a more pessimistic perspective came from another user who cynically remarked, "Girl see you in 10 years."

A third user added a touch of humor, stating, "ME WHEN I LIE." In contrast, a more straightforward commentator asserted, "THAT MUSIC IS NOT COMING OUT."

A fifth user offered a unique perspective, suggesting, "I feel like the delays are the art piece itself. She’s gonna grow old and die, and we are gonna find hidden clues saying the music is still on the way."

Amidst the skepticism, a sixth user straightforwardly stated, "I swear we don't care."
