July 15, 2021 - Normani's single "Wild Side" ft Cardi B is released.
The single samples Aaliyah's "One In A Million" and the music video dance choreography and fashion pays homage to Aaliyah's "One In A Million", "We Need A Resolution", "Try Again", and "More Than A Woman".
The song contains an interpolation of the 1996 Aaliyah single "One in a Million" and the dance choreography and visuals pay complete tribute to Aaliyah that only Aaliyah fans noticed and appreciated.
Most fans only see the MTAW and OIAM reference, but if you pay close attention, you can actually see WNAR and Try Again inspiration as well.
Normani always shared her love for Aaliyah over the years.
^^ a couple articles and online blogs that shared Normani' showing love.
