Normani will release her new single, ‘Fair’, on March 18.
The former Fith Harmony star is following up the lead single from her long-awaited debut solo album, ‘Wild Side’, featuring rap megastar Cardi B, with the new song later this month.
Alongside a short preview of the track, she announced: “seventeen days and counting releasing my other baby on march 18thhhhhhhhhh.(sic)”
In the brief clip, Normani sings: “When I say I won’t, tell myself I don’t, but I always will feel the way I feel.”
In December, Normani revealed her LP is almost done”. ‘Motivation’ star gave the exciting update as she opened up about how daunting it was leaving the safety net of a girl group to embark on a solo career.
She explained: “Coming out of a girl group, there was a lot that I had to figure out about myself and fears that I had to deal with head-on. I was always so safe being in a girl group. I remember my mom when I was little, she was like, ‘Why do you want to be in a girl group so bad? Is it so you can hide? And I think that that was pretty much the answer. But God had other plans for me, and by his faithfulness and his grace … Oh, he’s really, really kept me. Because what we do is not easy, guys, I’m telling you.”

The 25-year-old singer admitted it’s scary putting out the “deepest part of me” for all the world to hear as she is opening herself up to criticism, but she has never felt more confident about her music.
She said: “I think people really underestimate how hard it is and how much effort we put into one project, one body of work. When you give your baby out to the world – which is, y’know, our music – that’s the deepest part of me, [and] you give people the opportunity to kind of pick it apart and have an opinion on it; but I believe in what I’m doing now, for sure.”
The ‘Dancing with a Stranger’ hitmaker previously teased that her first record will “finally allow people” to get to know “the real” her.
Normani had been “bottling up” her solo greatness and she knew she had it “within her” long before she unleashed her debut solo single, ‘Motivation’, two years ago.
