Normani is counting down the days to the release of her debut solo album ‘Dopamine.’

Long-awaited, the LP is preceded by singles ‘1:59’ and ‘Candy Paint.’

Now, the singer has revealed that when it arrives, it’ll be doing so with a feature from none other than Brandy.

Full story below…

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Normani said of The Vocal Bible’s contribution to her project:

“There’s a record called “A Capella (Something’s Missing)” by her [from 2008], and I went in with that inspiration with [producers] Stargate. I was like, “I want to capture this feeling.” And that’s exactly what we did. And I was like, “Wouldn’t it be crazy if she added harmonies and just different textures?” That’s really what I was going for. She loved the song. She ended up being so down and jumped on it. I have a record with Brandy! It was crazy.”

When quizzed on the sound of her record at large, she added:

“I naturally gravitate to darker-sounding things from a sonic perspective, something that feels like it has bite and grit and edginess to it. I always just like being left of center. At one point, I was like, “Listen, everything can’t sound dark. We want to take everybody on a ride. We need to add some color.” I love Missy Elliott so much, Timbaland production. I like unique things that haven’t necessarily really been heard, so that’s also why production is my favorite part of the process. I’m honestly already thinking about what I want the show to look like. I’m excited to perform “Lights On.” That’s my Janet moment.”

‘Dopamine’ arrives via RCA Records on June 14.
