Normani just released her debut solo album Dopamine, with the singer announced the release on X: “thank you jesus. thank you jesus. thank you jesus. have really been over here all morning doing my best to find the words to articulate my gratitude for everyone that has endured with me throughout this process and who has continued to believe in me. this album was legit one of the hardest things in life for me over the years. literally can’t even entirely verbalize my appreciation in this moment because of how overwhelmed my heart is in the most magical way possible. ahhhhh my thoughts are obviously all over the place lol imma try this again tomorrow hahaha”

The album has been years in the making, and per Billboard marks the former Fifth Harmony star “finally stepping into who I’ve been called to be. I’m just grateful that everybody is just really excited still for this album and for this body of work. They’ve waited on me, which I don’t really take for granted.”

Dopamine includes Normani’s most recent single “Candy Paint,” which dropped May 31, as well as “Dopamine (First Dose),” “1:58” (featuring Gunna), and “Wild Side” (featuring Cardi B).

Normani’s solo career has included four singles on the Hot 100 chart, including “Love Lies” with Khalid, which peaked at No. 9; “Dancing With a Stranger” with Sam Smith (No. 7); “Wild Side” (No. 14); and “Motivation” (No. 33).
