Normani knows Houston is home.
The singer can rattle off her love of Turkey Leg Hut, Shipley Do-Nuts and chart how having to leave New Orleans as a child due to Hurricane Katrina turned out to be one of the best decisions for her life.
“I said, isn’t Beyoncé from Houston?” Normani told her parents. “It was a big decision at the age of 9, but it changed my life. I love my home, both of my homes.”
The 25-year-old has become more open and vulnerable about her career in recent years. After her exit from Fifth Harmony, she struck out on her own, releasing singles such as “Love Lies” with fellow Texan Khalid in 2018 as well as “Waves” with 6lack and “Motivation” in 2019. However, her sultry new anthem “Wild Side” featuring Cardi B has given fans more ammo to hope for a full-fledged project and its eye-catching visual more reason to believe she’s one of the next “it” girls in music.
“I wanted to push myself,” she said of “Wild Side.” “I wanted to bend myself, stretch myself and not only show to the rest of the world what I’m capable of but show myself, ‘You still got it.’ Cause I haven’t danced in a year. We were in a pandemic and I couldn’t take an online dance class, but I missed dancing. I hadn’t danced like that in a minute.”
