When asked about her upcoming LP during a conversation with Who What Wear last month, the singer revealed that the project "feels like liberation, like a season of freedom."

"Not just because the record is finally coming out, but because it’s a celebration of everything I have been through to get to this moment," she continued. "During this process, I heard God say to me, ‘Trust me. I know you’re afraid, but trust me anyway. Dare to trust me anyway. Now is the time.’ ”

Normani also opened up during her Who What Wear chat about how her mother Andrea Hamilton and father Derrick Hamilton’s recent cancer diagnoses left an impact on her during her latest chapter.

"Honestly, music got them through the cancer treatments," she said. "I remember being on FaceTime with my mom while she was undergoing chemo and her asking me, 'How's the studio today? How's the music coming?' "

She added, "As hard as it was for me to not be with them as much as I wanted to, ultimately, pushing through made the circumstances of the last few years feel a bit lighter for my parents."

As for Normani's collaborator Gunna, who is set to appear on "1:59," the YSL rapper's most recent output has included the Offset collaboration "Prada Dem" and Tyla team-up "Jump."

"1:59" will be released on April 26 via RCA Records.
