The debut release from Normani 'Dopamine' provides a long-delayed musical statement from the famous 'Motivation' singer. Despite the lengthy wait, this collection of 13 tracks showcases her growth and musical exploration. The R&B and midtempo grooves blended together as the album’s core structure while 'Take My Time' and 'Wild Side' became its vocal showcase pieces. Active collaboration between Normani and producers Tommy Brown and Stargate produced a sophisticated musical result which exudes both attitudinal resilience and internal introspection. Though several tunes lack immediate catchy appeal like her previous releases 'Dopamine' carries a sophisticated relaxed confidence across its tracks. Good things arrive for individuals who commit to patient endurance as evidenced through this album release.
