    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring and generic. Totally a time-wasting album. This is NOT art. She only cares about charts, sales and streams. Expand

    Playboy look with the bunny ears, Mariah Carey wannabe but overall nothing original to keep your attention.

    Nope. It’s bleh. Seems like she doesn’t care about her image maturing. Same thing over and over. I just don’t like it. Feel like I’m listening to the same song all over with different lyrics.

    I'm really don't get into the vibe of this one. Same song over and over again but with the same trashy, childish lyrics.

    THIS is Ariana Grande's best album! Most of the songs are amazing, with some slight duds in between the best songs, but the cover is cool and the singles choices were top notch. I live for the production that unveils the masterpieces of this record!

    She appears to be in the right place creatively, but she just needs to take her own advice and break free.

    These songs [“Greedy,” “Into You” and “Touch It”], which unite a strong persona--haughty, insatiable, a little manic, really into you--with a vivid pocket version of one style or another, are the core of a swift, heedless pop album, albeit one struggling to emerge from the false notes (“Dangerous Woman”) and rote 2016 obligations (Future) of what’s probably an executive-mandated bagginess.

    The pop star is putting out fine records, but it’s hard to escape the feeling that her ludicrous potential remains unfulfilled.
