Norma Jean Martine – 'Basketball'

‘Bruh’ girls unite! After a four-year hiatus, Norma Jean Martine returns with magnetic new single ‘Basketball’

‘Basketball’ is a massive mood. To a glistening backdrop of smooth basslines and slick beats, Norma creates a sound that is cool on steroids. Dark and intoxicating, she sucks you into her stormy brand of alt-pop and gives your confidence a makeover. Her hurricane vocals are the tip of this invincible iceberg but under her tough exterior hides a more vulnerable side that Norma showcases in highly emotive lyricism – “Sorry I’m up on the fence and my past is offensive. I don’t wanna hurt again, so I get so defensive.”

Norma Jean Martine is a force of nature. You can try to run and hide but you can’t escape her magnetic pull. You might as well give in now and join the fandom.
