Normani has taken inspiration from R&B[124] and pop music of the 1990s and 2000s. She has also cited artist such as Aaliyah,[125] TLC, En Vogue, Mya,[126][127][128] Toni Braxton, Selena, Jhené Aiko, Destiny's Child,[6] Mariah Carey,[129] Janet Jackson,[130] Beyoncé,[131] Ciara,[132] Lauryn Hill,[133] Whitney Houston,[134] Brandy,[135] Alicia Keys,[136] Jennifer Lopez,[137] and Britney Spears[138] as influences.

Public image edit

In a 2020 cover story, Teen Vogue argued that Normani charted a "new territory that's rooted in relatability" for black women, while the singer proclaimed "I don't want to be so unattainable. I'm just the girl next door." The publication also noted the importance of her work with beauty and lingerie companies, and added that her resilience against the media's colorism "is for the black girls, who, like her, fail the brown-paper-bag test but are still a standard of beauty".[147] Normani graced the cover of Rolling Stone's March 2020 Women Shaping the Future issue, alongside Megan Thee Stallion and SZA.[148] Okayplayer[149][150] and Uproxx[151] named her among the black women who have redefined pop music, while The Recording Academy listed her as one of the black women who took pop music by storm and "reinvented the pop star ideal" in 2021.[152] DeAsia Page of VICE stated that her success marked a shift "for an industry that tends to favor light-skinned Black women artists."[153]

In 2019, The Guardian ranked her as one of the 25 greatest female pop-group performers of all time.[154] Forbes placed her on their 30 under 30 list for 2020.[75] In a 2019 cover story for Cosmopolitan, music journalist Clover Hope credited Normani with reviving pop music by "injecting some sorely needed fun" in a time when the musical landscape was consumed with singles that garnered attention "because of "hidden" messages about exes".[155] Writing for The New York Times, Lindsay Zoladz stated that "Motivation" broke through the "depressive haze of contemporary pop radio" at the time.[156]

With her intensely choreographed dance routines, Normani has been cited as one of the artists instrumental in the revival of choreography-centric music videos in the late 2010s.[157][158][159] Speaking on the state of dance and music in 2019, music choreographer JaQuel Knight stated "we have the City Girls putting it down for Miami, we have Atlanta bringing out so many different sounds, and then we have pop-stars; the Normani's are trying to bring dancing back into the industry."[160] Normani has received praise for her dancing abilities from fellow artists Katy Perry,[161] Rihanna,[162] and Cardi B.[163] WatchMojo placed her on their list of the "Top 20 Female Singers Who Can Dance".[164] Further, Bustle declared that "there's virtually no better Gen Z dancer" than Normani.[165] While Natty Kasambala of Dazed, wrote "since the launch of her solo career, she's consistently set the bar for pop visuals with elaborate choreography, trendsetting fashion and infectious hooks that stop people in their tracks."[166]

Personal life edit

Normani is a Christian.[182] She resides in Los Angeles, California in the San Fernando Valley.[183]

In August 2016, Normani was racially cyber bullied on social media after an interview she gave was "taken out of context". During the time, angry fans of her former bandmate Camila Cabello, perceived her to be throwing shade for referring to Cabello as "quirky". According to Normani, fans called her racial slurs including the N word, and photoshopped her images to depict her as a slave being "whipped, beaten" and lynched. The incident led her to temporarily deactivating her Twitter account.[184][185]

In December 2019, racist Twitter and Tumblr posts from 2012 shared by Camila Cabello when she and Normani were in Fifth Harmony resurfaced.[186] In a February 2020 interview with Rolling Stone, Normani responded to the posts, writing: "I struggled with talking about this because I didn't want it to be a part of my narrative, but I am a black woman, who is a part of an entire generation that has a similar story. It would be dishonest if I said that this particular scenario didn't hurt me", she admitted.[187] "It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood [...] It took days for her to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans. [...] I hope there is genuine understanding about why this was absolutely unacceptable".[188][189]

Normani is currently dating Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf.[190]

and music in 2019 music choreographer JaQuel Knight stated we have the City Girls putting it down for Miami we have Atlanta bringing out so many different sounds and then we have pop stars the Normani

racially cyber bullied on social media after an interview she gave was taken out of context During the time angry fans of her former bandmate Camila Cabello perceived her to be throwing shade for referring to Cabello as quirky According to Normani fans called her racial slurs including the N word and photoshopped her images to depict her as a slave being whipped beaten and lynched The incident led her to temporarily deactivating her Twitter account 184 185 In December 2019 racist Twitter and Tumblr posts from 2012 shared by Camila Cabello when she and Normani were in Fifth Harmony resurfaced 186 In a February 2020 interview with Rolling Stone Normani responded to the posts writing I struggled with talking about this because I didn t want it to be a part of my narrative but I am a black woman who is a part of an entire generation that has a similar story It would be dishonest if I said that this particular scenario didn t hurt me she admitted 187 It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood It took days for her to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced Whether or not it was her intention this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans I hope there is genuine understanding about why this was absolutely unacceptable 188 189 Normani is currently dating Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf 190 Discography editMain article Normani discography See also Fifth Harmony
