Normani: 'Why Does Pop Have to Be So White?'

“She acknowledged how much her style has changed since leaving Fifth Harmony. "I'm not sure what that turning point was," she says, "but I was like, Normani is enough. You can be onstage and perform and you can be enough."

"I told the director, 'I want this to be as black as possible,'" she said of the "Motivation" visual. "I was like, let's show black culture. Why does pop music have to be so white? Why don't we make it a little bit more me?"

“The question hits, particularly after the preposterously all-white list of the BillboardWomen of the Year recipients over the last decade went viral.”

I’ve wondered this as well. What shifted from the time in the 90s where blk RnB reigned on the charts to now?

I can’t be the only one who remembers blk artists literally Debo’ing the music charts in the 90s.

Baby face, Toni Braxton, TLC, Boyz 2 Men, ect...
How did we lose our craft?

Oh well, I’m still glad Normani is getting major shine on and continuing to build her brand. Baby girl has been EVERYWHERE lately.

I just don’t get where the shift in the erasure of blk musicians from pop music came in when we used to run shyt.

I don’t listen to her music but she’s a dime and is absolutely one of the baddest women in the game.

I also wonder if her repping her blkness so early and unapolegtically in her career will get her blklisted?

shyt is so wack sometimes.

She is too pretty to need all of that.

I was told there was a reason why Clive made Whitney sing a certain way

We gotta support our artists.

I really need some music heads to breakdown how and why this shyt happened. B/c when I was growing up black artists were KILLING pop. Hell “Thong Song” was everywhere. “Waterfalls”
“I’ll Make Love To You”
“The Boy Is Mine”
