Normani says she ‘suppressed’ memories of being in Fifth Harmony

Singer of songs like “1:59,” “Motivation,” “Candy Paint” It is “Wild Side,” Normani became successful in the music industry as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmonyalso formed by Camila Cabello, Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke It is Dinah Jane. However, this period was not completely good for the artist, who “suppressed” some memories.

During an interview with Rolling Stone USAthe 28-year-old artist commented on her time as part of the group, as well as dealing with the separation in 2018. On this subject, she was asked about how she has grown since starting her solo career.

In response, Normani explained how she feels “grateful” for everything, even “the moments where I may have felt inadequate or less than. It definitely has a lot to do with why I am the way I am. It’s definitely affected my confidence.”

Unfortunately, when it was part of the Fifth Harmonythe singer suffered several cases of racism from record executives and even “fans” of the group, who saw her as less than her bandmates.

“We were so innocent and I think that’s the struggle of having to face reality in very unrealistic circumstances,” he said. “I always say we did the best we could with what we had, so I’m proud.”

“There’s so much I don’t even remember because I suppressed it. This is just my way of protecting myself from having to deal with it all,” he continued Normani. “But what I remember is that it wasn’t all bad. Like, yes, we struggled, but it was also really beautiful what we accomplished together.”

At another point, the artist spoke about her first studio album as a solo singer. Entitled Dopaminethe work is supposed to show how “damn strong” she is, despite everything I’ve endured. It’s a testament to my strength, resilience and discipline.”
