If her collaborator list is any indication, Normani is coming for blood on her debut album.
Fans have been patiently awaiting the singer’s first solo project for over two years now following her debut as a lead act on “Love Lies” with Khalid. Since then, the singer has amassed over 1 BILLION streams with no album out thanks to collaborations with Sam Smith (“Dancing With a Stranger”), Calvin Harris (“Checklist,” “Slow Down”), 6LACK (“Waves”) and Megan Thee Stallion (“Diamonds”).

The past two years have also seen Normani hit up the studio with dozens of high-profile hitmakers such as Max Martin, Tayla Parx, Ryan Tedder, Pharrell and many more. In an effort to gauge what her debut project might sound like, Pop Crave has assembled a list of over 30 producers/songwriters who are confirmed to have spent time in the booth with the singer. Keep in mind that this list doesn’t include people like Missy Elliott, Khalid, Daniel Caesar and Big Freedia, all names who have been rumored to work on #N1.
