Normani & Camila Cabello’s New Albums Have Us Taking a Closer Look at Life After Girl Groups
After growing up together in the music industry as two members of Fifth Harmony, both Normani and Camila Cabello released new albums last month: Normani’s debut album Dopamine and Cabello’s fourth project C,XOXO.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about life after girl groups and how each singer is carving out her own solo lane after finding success in a group. We’re taking a look at Little Mix too — who are all in the midst of mounting their solo music careers and impacting the Official U.K. Charts — as well as the previous examples of Pussycat Dolls, Destiny’s Child and Spice Girls. What does it take to catch lightning in a bottle, like Beyoncé has? Or like Diana Ross’ post-Supremes career?
