FAQ
Hi, I'm Koji Kali and I'm a music producer based in Los Angeles. I've produced for various independent artists across multiple genres. I guess you could say I'm genre-bending 😌✌🏾
Camera: Canon G7X / Canon700D
Microphone: My iPhone
Ringlight: Amazon
The harmonies you mention were normani’s own vocals stacked. She did it herself!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Well aesthetically ig ppl can say she maybe don’t know who she is . But musically I think she knows exactly what she wants to do whether she is comfortable with some of the music. I don’t think Normani wants to be put in a box. She wants to do any genre she feels comfortable doing . I think essentially she’s always going to give us a variety BUT I do think she’s letting black ppl get in her head and tell her she needs to do r&b bc she’s black and she’s too pop. I know she grew up on r&b and it’s in her but I do think she could be a great pop star . I want her to have it all and succeed with that
Well said! I couldn’t agree more actually! 💯🙌🏾✨
Normani loves R&B but others want her to do pop or other music. She loves R&B and I think that’s where she shines the most … she has a beautiful soft voice and r&b fits her voice!
@@greateatsnomeats8830 obviously you want her to be in a box. Yes she loves r&b but Normani herself has said she wanna do pop as well and any other genre she wants to do
@@TreAzzBad I don’t want her to be in a box. I heard her say that she loves R&b the most. I actually love motivation and checklist. I just believe that her voice really shines when she does R&b. I believe that her album will have a lot of different sounds. I just love R&b and I love when she sing it!!
@@greateatsnomeats8830 I love r&b and I love her voice on it as well. But I’ve been a fan since 2012 . She’s always said she loves r&b but she also has said she wanted to do both pop and r&b and then she’d say she just want to not be in a box. She recently just started shying away from wanting to do pop and I think it’s bc ppl try to put her in a box and act like bc she’s black that’s what she should do
timberland didn’t produce it but he did react to it and loved what normani did to it. aaliyah’s brother posted on his instagram stories that he loved it too. i consider wild side as r&b and normani has stated she’s genreless so she’s very versatile and can tap into all genres which is why she doesn’t really label herself as a pop or rnb artist
also normani not putting out an album has nothing to do with the label putting her in the back burner. normani has stated several times that she gets in her own way and is a perfectionist. plus she was dealing with a lot behind the scenes like her mom’s breast cancer coming back. so she took that time to work endlessly finishing her album cause she wanted it to be perfect and it was a lot of pressure on her. plus she didn’t really like motivation which is why she didn’t promote it.
THIS!
Normani’s sister Starra produced this and also that’s her towards the ending in the background rapping
I be so shocked when ppl say that Normani is ok or alright! To me she’s so f’n talented and I feel she is the total package. I don’t understand why her label is handling her any type of way. I just wish she starts to receive the awards and credit that she deserves as an artist! Her and Doja Cat!❤️
Normani is everything! I don’t think she’s a mediocre artist at all. She’s been doing this for years and it’s evident in how she performs. I think she’s already received nods from Janet and Beyoncé’s (not to say that validates her) but it definitely reinforces the talent that she has! 👌🏾💯 yeah her label could do better with marketing and consistency in her releases, they are too spread out.
Yesss I agree and the nods are dope since Bey and Janet are iconic. But a Beyonce and Normani collab would be EVERYTHING! Will it happen?
Am so glad I came across your reaction. Now word has it that this song has been blocked in some regions because of copyright issues. Some people are claiming Aaliyah's family had not given Normani permission to sample the song BUT I saw Timbaland listening to Normani's version and he said he was impressed with what he heard. So my question is who owns a sample, is it the producer (in this case Timbaland made the beat) or is it the singer? My research shows that Aaliyah did not even pen a word on that song, Missy and Timbaland created everything.
I think the the song and video are definitely give homage to Aliyah, Timberland and Missy and my girl Janet … the dance video GOAT ❤️💕
This song sounds nothing of pop related. Straight hip hop & r&b. This literally is Aaliyahs beat, & it didn’t sound like a pop song back then either
The sound itself is definitely r&b. I am fully aware of that. But her as an artist, she creates pop music “Popular music” that is consumed by the masses. When you’re labeled as a pop artist, it means that you appeal to every demographic across the board. But to be labeled as an r&b artist actually very limiting to her audience. Especially since she comes from a “pop” background with Fifth Harmony. Check out this article by Rolling Stone as well, where she’s labeled as a pop artist:
www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/normani-motivation-fifth-harmony-solo-album-950372/
In the audio version, after cardis verse you can hear her singing on the track. She even changed the lyrics to fit her style
A subtle hint to the One In A Million sample was in the choreography too, there was a very distinct Aaliyah move when she had on the black outfit. UGH I love this song and video so much. Awesome explanation, I learned a lot!
It was choreo from try again I think
Oh wow! I would’ve never known! Thanks for sharing that gem! 😲🔥🙌🏾
@@TreAzzBad I think it was from “More Than a Woman” actually 😄
@@Nuclear720 I just know it wasn’t from OIAM
I love this! You’re so chill and insightful! 💜
Thank you so much my dear! ❤️ I enjoy making these for you guys! ✨🔥❤️
I love iit. She is so beautiful. I can't wait to the new single
The main producer is starrah
Normani's sister :)
@@maggiemccauslin1084 Not her real sister they’re just close.
Can you react to chole bailey feeling good performance or her making the song
I just love your reactions, you hear the music in an amazing way. then can you react to "he like that" by fifth harmony? I love the instrumental so much
Jesus is your way to heaven, he paid the price for your sins. Once you believe you are sealed and saved forever. Salvation is a free gift.
She is just great ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! One in a Million, Aaliyah and Timbaland! Normani's whole vibe is that vibe. She's very 90's-esque, I think that's why she sticks. 👌. Enjoy your reactions and insight.
Everyone who says Aliyah MUST have never heard JANET/BUsta Rhymes "what's it gonna be"
I definitely hear "What’s it gonna be" too.
I was confused as to whether that "trill" present in her vocals on the bridge was pitch correction or an actual slide technique she's applying. I've heard it on a live performance and it's present in the Sam Smith collab as well as that scrapped Dua project that was leaked forever ago. And she more or less sounds identical on that Genius Verified video too. A fuller sound on the record because of production but the way she uses her instrument sounded identical. EDIT: I was zooted earlier but I meant to make the point that the prominent "trill" on the chorus and bridge could be really tight vocal stacks if she's applying that technique each time to build a fuller sound? So the effect after sounds sorta uncanny (but still suits the song IMO, it's a lot of ear candy as you said)
In a lot of ways I see her singing in a similar way to SZA and Brandy where they can take a note and kinda smear it around the palette with that smokier tone. I'm excited to see her develop that, especially with producers like Starrah and Jonah. They ate that shit up as a collective haha
YESSSS IM SO EXCITEDDDDD
Subscribe because u obviously know what u talkn bout. Dig it
NORMANI is the total package 😀
Great reaction!
love your videos!! you should react to bree runway! ATM or little nokia!
Homeage is all tha that was paid.
Normani should not be put in a category because she can sing different genres of music just like her phenomenal dancing.....what she did in 2017 on DWTS proves it hands down.
👸💃😲😲😲👸💃
Bronx Stand up! Cardi Bodied this joint....and Normani is proper....and already there....subscribed
Where can you hear the auto tune at for the pitch correction
Are you serious?
While you read my mind as soon as I saw this video and heard this song I thought of Aaliyah right away
By the way, you talk about female rappers. PLEASE check out Snow Tha Product. Really Counts is a great track to start with. I would be thrilled to see you breakdown Snow tracks. She, in my opinion, is hands down the best female rapper ever. I know that's a really bold claim to make, believe me. That's why I really would love to see your reactions to her. 💓
She's independent. And she's Mexican-American. She's now Grammy nominated and is at a pivotal moment in her public attention, so it's a great time to react to her right now too. The views will very quickly stack up.
I don't like normanis hair at all
We do not like your comment either
This song is R and B..Foh
What is an a o a? You keep mentioning that in the music patterns. Excuse my ignorance. I love your music theory analysis in your videos.
808, not A O A. The Roland 808 creates a heavy, powerful bass line.
Yeah this is a sample of one in a million
Her sound reminds me a bit of Sevyn Streeter. They should do a versus…?
You want a Verzuz of 11 singles stacked against four full albums and a couple EPs…?
Normani isn’t established yet so this makes no sense. Also Mani gets enough comparisons as it is so please just leave room for her to show us who she is.
That headline about Aaliyah's family didn't approve was fake. Fake news always travel fast. Also Normani knows who she is as an artist, however I'd agree if you talk about her sound. She's still figuring her sound which is normal for new artists (solo)
That’s fair. Tbh I haven’t taken a dive deep within her discography or her life in general. I guess it was from my surface level observation. Fake news does travel fast unfortunately because people like to witness others downfall. But yes she’s still new so I agree, with time she’ll figure it out! 💯❤️🙌🏾
NORMANI is the total package most artist can only be label one or the other 🙄
Based on your review, I'm surprised your thumbs down is only 13.
Oh my goodness I hope you’re okay. Honestly, mental health is such an important thing to take care of. I hope you’re taking care of yourself bud. 🥺👍✨
@@kojikali3381 you as well. your reaction was still trash.
