In a brand new interview with Rolling Out magazine, Normani touched on appearing on the reality show, her solo music and what we can expect from the four ladies of Fifth Harmony.

ON ‘DANCING WITH THE STARS’: “Dancing With the Stars” is a show I always watched with my grandma, and it was one of my favorite shows, but more importantly one of her favorite shows. It was always captivating to see two people grow and have this journey with each other and maybe not win but come out stronger in the end. This happened really quickly, there was a meeting and then a month later we had confirmation.”

She added, “I definitely know that it is going to be tough; the mental and physical preparedness is going to come as we progress in the show, week by week. I am also going to be traveling so I have to be totally prepared all around.”

ON HER SOLO MUSIC: “I’m actually really excited to figure that out…it’s definitely more R&B and more soul because we’re generally pop [and] urban. But I definitely have more soul than I’ve been given the opportunity to showcase and offer.”

She added, “I kind of have to take pieces of myself to fit what it is that radio wants…I just feel like I haven’t been able to showcase my full potential. I hate the fact that people can judge based on something that isn’t fully given to them. Like this isn’t the full product. This isn’t all I have to offer, so don’t judge based on this little piece of what you’re given. I have so much in me that people don’t even know, and I can’t wait to offer it to them.”

ON FIFTH HARMONY: They are her “number one priority”. She added, “I feel like 2016 was definitely a great year and we kind of escalated and started moving up, but I feel like we haven’t actually reached our full potential yet. I feel like in this year, it’s definitely going to happen.”
