It’s been a very long, very arduous road for Normani to release her debut album “Dopamine.” On social media, the Nation — her anointed fandom name — pleaded for the record for so many years that when the former Fifth Harmony member finally announced it in February, she did so with a wink-nod, rolling it out with the accompanying website wheresthedamnalbum.
But in a career plagued so often by delays and false starts, the path from that announcement was characteristically uneven. At first, she didn’t give a release date. Then, a month later, she announced that the lead single, “1:59” featuring Gunna, would come in another month. Right up until release date, there was no music video, no tracklist reveal until the day before, no nothing.
