Normani, whose collaboration with Khalid has been making waves on the charts, just inked a record deal.<\/p>\n
In a Monday morning announcement, the Keep Cool\/RCA Records imprint confirmed Normani as its first signing.<\/p>\n
Tunji Balogun, who heads the Keep Cool\/RCA venture, will A&R Normani.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m so incredibly grateful to be able to be in a place where I can explore myself as an artist and what I\u2019m capable of,” says Normani. “Never in a million years did I think I would be in this position in 2018. Everyone has been so supportive and patient, thank you so much to my fans for giving me the opportunity. I\u2019m so thankful to my girls that we created this space among ourselves to explore and branch out creatively. Fifth Harmony has always been and will always be home. I\u2019d like to say thank you to Tunji and Peter for believing in the vision that I have for myself as an artist. I\u2019m appreciative for their commitment and perseverance.”<\/p>\n
“Normani is a dynamic, multi-talented young woman with vibrant energy and a powerful spirit,” adds Balogun. “We are extremely excited to welcome her into the RCA family and I\u2019m honored to announce her as the first artist signed to Keep Cool. We are all looking forward to watching Normani thrive and flourish as we create incredible music and unforgettable moments together.”<\/p>\n
“Love Lies,” the aforementioned collaboration between Normani and fellow RCA roster member Khalid, just went gold in the United States. The certification signifies 500,000 units; each unit equals 1 paid download or 150 streams.<\/p>\n
Normani rose to fame as part of Fifth Harmony, which recently announced a hiatus.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Normani as the first artist under the Keep Cool\/RCA Records imprint,” noted RCA Records Chairman & CEO Peter Edge. “Normani\u2019s talent and charisma really sets her apart as a leading lady in the industry and I know she will bring that same energy and more to her solo career.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Normani is the first artist signed as part of the new Keep Cool-RCA partnership.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[10514],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
