Along with the album’s release date, Normani shared a new single from the upcoming record. Titled ‘1:59’, the seductive and laid-back track features Gunna.
Normani sings over the track’s sensual chorus: “When I get you alone / Boy, what you gon’ do with it? / Don’t talk too much, just do this shit.”
‘1:59’ marks the singer’s first release since she last teamed up with Calvin Harris, Tinashe and Offset for the 2022 track ‘New To You’.
In February, the Atlanta singer unveiled the cover art and name of her first-ever solo full-length record. The announcement came after she teased the record in January, saying it is “literally the best music she’s ever made”.
Later that month, Normani spoke further about the upcoming record, describing it as “a representation of [her] evolution.” “For me, this upcoming album is not just about music coming out,” she said. “It feels like a representation of everything I’ve gone through to get to this moment. The album feels like liberation, like a season of freedom. Not just because the record is finally coming out, but because it’s a celebration of everything.”
It’s unknown whether her 2019 debut solo single ‘Motivation’, which was co-written by Ariana Grande, will be on Dopamine’. The song has since gone platinum in the US and its nostalgic ’00s-inspired accompanying music video currently has 185million views on YouTube.
Since then, Normani teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion for ‘Diamonds’, a single from the soundtrack for the DC movie, Birds Of Prey. In a four-star review, NME called the track an “exuberant female power anthem that perfectly balances sass and intimidating cuteness.”
She also lent her vocals on Cardi B‘s sultry ‘Wild Side’ and Calvin Harris‘ funk-inspired ‘Next To You’ – the latter also featured Tinashe and Offset. In 2021, the Atlanta star released her second-ever solo single, ‘Fair’.
