    Maybe I'll actually listen to this soon if I get the chance, I know Ariana is an objectively good singer but something about her voice mixed with the style of music she makes and how cleanly produced everything sounds never clicked with me like other people in pop/r&b has

    Well the good news is it’s only 36 minutes so if you don’t like it you won’t be listening for long. This is easily her most cohesive album. It doesn’t tell a complex story or anything but there is somewhat of a story throughout the tracks whereas most of her last albums didn’t do that and had filler tracks. The only filler track here is “yes, and?” which sounds nothing like the rest of the album and was clearly made to just have a hit and address what the media was saying about her.

    I also feel like this is the least annoying Ariana Grande album yet. It’s a pretty smooth and quick listen. The 90s/00s R&B inspired sound is easier to get into because she embraces it. There’s no big pop anthems here except “yes, and?” which was also kinda lowkey so at the very least this is also probably Ariana’s most authentic album not necessarily made to have a bunch of hits, but because she had things to get off her chest.

    Overall I’m pretty satisfied with this album. It’s way better than I expected it to be. I guess my only complaint is I do wish there was at least one more song that was hard-hitting or energetic, everything here is pretty soft and smooth which is nice but isn’t always what I’m in the mood for. That’s fine though

    I like the use of the screens behind her. She still sounds pretty good live. The dress in the “imperfect for you” performance looks great with the blonde hair.

    What’s your favorite song on this album? Right now mine is probably “the boy is mine”.

    I’m changing my score from 7/10 to 8/10. I keep liking this more and more. This might be her best album.

    disturbing how this little freak changes her accent, image and skin colour for each musical "era" she goes through

    she looks the same but blonde lol. It's also called adapting to the demo version they are given, just like Beyoncé or Rihanna. She has writers.

    Me too, but I don’t know if it will happen anytime soon. I wonder if the promotion of this album is already over. She seems to be back to Wicked already. Who knows if she will even tour this album or do any more live performances on talk shows
