Normani Performs Fair On The Tonight Show

Watch Normani perform “Fair” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The “Motivation” singer carries an unrequited flame boldly in her lyrics and stage presence. She gives the camera an intense stare as she admits to still loving an ex-partner.  Normani just her had her chart-topping “Wild Side” hit with Cardi B. “Fair” is a different direction for her as she explains, “This song really captures me in one of my most vulnerable moments. Sharing this record makes me uncomfortable because you have never really seen me in this light. Definitely aware that you might feel like you don’t know much about me but that’s only because it’s what makes me feel protected. I am really forcing myself to let go here. This is huge for me and hopefully this piece of art resonates. Love is beautiful yet so soooo terrifying. I adore you guys to the moon and back.” Normani’s presentation of “Fair” on the show takes the shame out of heartbreak.
