Normani Says Embracing Her Blackness on ‘Dopamine’ Felt Like ‘Showing Up for Myself’

In her review of Normani’s debut album Dopamine, Mankaprr Conteh points to the pop-r&b singer’s “creative reverence” for Black culture across its 13 songs. For Normani, staying true to her identity as a Black woman across the LP was more than intentional. It was necessary.
When speaking to Rolling Stone about the album that dropped Friday, Normani shared that she felt like she was “showing up” for herself by embracing her Blackness after feeling like she had to mute it while she was a member of Fifth Harmony.
