    "Dangerous Woman" é uma nova fase da cantora. Ariana mostra que desde o primeiro álbum não veio apenas para ficar conhecida por singles, e sim, por álbuns bem trabalhados e singles potentes. Pode-se dizer que é o melhor álbum da Ariana depois da obra Yours Truly.

    This is by far the best album of 2016. Also, Ariana's biggest album yet. The tracks flow one by one perfectly, the enunciation, whistle notes, lyrics all combine into one overwhelming work of art. Dangerous Woman is definetly a Grammy award-worthy masterpiece.

    Ariana Grande has shown herself to be an incredible vocalist, better than the majority of mainstream female singers in the industry today. She's shown great growth in her music, and this is easily the strongest piece of work she has put out.

    This album demonstrates how much she has grown as an artist and as a person. Her vocals are exemplary and she proves her talent once again. Her powerhouse vocals prove she is on a higher level than her peers. Every single song is different and amazing in its own way. Phenomenal album, well done!

    One of the best albums of her so far, she really showed her girl maturation of Nickelodion going to a real dangerous woman, a woman which not afraid to show his arguments and finally said a **** for all other existing opinions. Congratulations @ArianaGrande's am really and totally proud of you.

    This is her best album. It's so good since beginning to the end, and is very different to her other albums. I think the best songs are Be Alright, Into You, Dangerous Woman, Side To Side, Greedy and Bad Decisions.

Songs like Leave Me Lonely and Greedy show off her vocal capacity, while songs like I Don't Care shows her capability of singing songs that are not vocally demanding but require emotion.

    Awesome album, maybe the best during her career. Excellent combination of vocal power and rhythms, she is showing her maturity and that she could be more than just an actress of Nickelodeon.

    Ariana has managed to continuously outdo herself with every album that she makes, and Dangerous Woman is no exception.

Yours Truly was a very socially cohesive album, My Everything was an upgrade in terms of song writing and production of the overall album, meanwhile Dangerous Woman has taken both of those stand out features of both albums and put it together to make one of the best albums of 2016 so far.

    Moonlight is the opening track which provides the perfect transition from My Everything to this new record. With the snaps found throughout the whole song to the bass guitar playing during the chorus where she belts "I never knew you could hold moonlight in your hands til i held you."
    All the tracks to follow including the title track "Dangerous Woman" and others such as "Into You" "Sometimes" and "Bad Decisions" show the perfect example of songs that are radio friendly pop perfection while also having RnB undertones in the production.
    Out of the four featuring artists found on this album; Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray and Future, It is clear that Ariana works best when working with other dangerous woman as "Side To Side" which features Nicki, and "Leave Me Lonely" which features Macy, are the best collaborations found on the record. "Side to Side" has a reggae vibe to it and the power ballad "Leave Me Lonely" shows exceptional use of violins.
    The closing track "Thinking Bout you" is probably the track that sticks out from all the others both sonically and lyrically, where Ariana admits that she's missing the unnamed person, the line "At least i have the memory," hits hard when coming after the bridge with her adlibs shining underneath her soft vocals and finally shows emotion that isn't present in the previous songs.

    This album has proven that Ariana has potential to be a long running artist who is here to stay and not just a hit making machine. I highly recommend this album to anyone who is interested in hearing a pop record that breaks many rules and takes dangerous risks.    … Expand

Em um pequeno tempo de 3 anos Ariana Grande conseguiu muitos prêmios, títulos, vendas ótimas, grande quantidade de visualizações que muitos outros cantores não conseguiram em 5 anos. E esperamos que neste álbum não seja diferente, pois ela conseguiu mostrar um lado perigoso e maduro dela que muitos não viam, a melhor parte é que o álbum conta uma história cada música é parte desta história. Para mim a melhor música do álbum é Bad Decisions recomendo vocês escutarem, meu álbum já comprei e estou esperando ansiosamente por ele para escutar todas as músicas.

    This entire album is going to be remembered for centuries! I guarantee in fifty years time these songs will become apart of the Great American Songbook, and Ariana will be remembered more than Whitney Houston or Ella Fitzgerald.

    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.
