    Fun album and great vocals as we all expect from Ariana . Songs like pov really hit you in feels . But i find this project rushed and a little unsatisfying , some production double layerd harmonies do not sit right with me and some songs are just too generic . Not a bad album at all but just not an improvement from Thank U , Next .

    Não é o melhor trabalho da Ariana, mas mesmo assim é mágico e interessante, algo puro e quente, porém sensível. Essa obra consolida a Ariana como uma das maiores de sua geração

The album has 14 tracks which all have very excellent vocals and the instrumentals are well produced. The lead single of this album titled “Positions” is an amazing song worth listening and it has such a great vibe. The song did an astonishing job at debuting #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 Charts and overall has been high in streaming on all platforms. The rest of the tracks are also so great even if the vibe of the album has fluctuations at the first listen. Expand

    So so good! This album gets so much bandwagon hate for no reason because simply nobody gives it a chance. It’s first listen is weird and different because it’s a different sound and route she’s taken compared to her other albums. The key is giving it a chance.

    I could say that we all got a little surprised with the release of ariana’s sixth album, but for me it was a wonderful gift. the r&b vibes and her great vocal techniques add an extra layer of smoothness and fun to the project. fav tracks are pov and my hair, witch has an amazing whistle register. 10 out of 10 for ari’s positions.

    Positions isn't my favorite performance from her, she could do better. But there are still amazing tracks like 34+35, safety net, pov, just like magic, and more. However some songs like off the table, shut up, and west side are just lacking something. I still like this album a great amount though.

    The album is really good, its only problem is that almost no song is going to represent a significant advance in Ariana Grande's career, it lacks a bit of intensity in my opinion, but after all, the album is still enjoyable, but far from be the best of her career.

    Position is a "very good" album. 6/14 tracks in standard edition is good and "test drive" in deluxe edition — the rest are skip. This album feels like in a rush when it's made. Vocals, definitely perfect — unfortunately, Ariana's songwriters and producers really didn't try to put new and spice on her sixth studio album.

Seems like Dalton gave her his reasons and his arguments but Ari stills not sure, she doesn't want to go through her past again, and her feelings are unstable and her emotional status as wel, so he got her tripping falling with no safety net, no safety net means that she is already in love with him but if she fell she will lose everything bc there's no safety net, she is afraid of losing him like she does in the past with others ex-boyfriends, next we have my hair, where they are connected totally and they spend more time together, not just having sex, but she is asking him to play with her hair, she wants him to play with her hair not only with her body, it's where the love is stronger than ever, when you don't need physical connection to feel the love, just the fact that your partner is by your side and when someone plays with your hair you know the feeling, you feel safe Expand

    More confident, more sure of herself, more satisfied and sexier. This is what Ariana Grande looks like on her sixth studio album Positions.
    The sound of Positions is certainly new: pop has taken a back seat and contemporary R&B is the real protagonist. Entirely written by the performer herself, assisted by close friends and collaborators, Positions offers some of the freest and most unfiltered lyrics that Grande has ever sung and performed. Tracks like My Hair, Love Language and Just Like Magic are real anthems to femininity, sexuality, power, and freedom, the central themes of the record.
    Although there are sentimental and intimate ballads such as Off the Table and POV, among the best composed songs by Grande, the main purpose of Positions is the exaltation of a captivating and at times provocative positivity, which wants to leave old painful experiences behind.
    While sticking to an R&B line as strong as ever, it's hard for Grande and her producers to break away from the trap and hip hop influences introduced first with Sweetener, then especially with Thank U, Next. The general production of the record maintains a more than sufficient quality. The main flaw is the weak musical cohesion between the different tracks of the project, which is sometimes fluctuating.
    Textually speaking, Positions sees Grande taking the reins as songwriter more freely, sexily and forcefully than ever before. Nonetheless, qualitatively defining the lyrics of the project in a single way is quite difficult: the attention, care and choice of linguistic register depend on the individual songs. If with the title track, Shut Up, Just Like Magic and Motive Grande keeps herself on a level suitable for a pop star, in Off The Table, Safety Net and POV she surpasses herself, demonstrating a very high compositional ability. The single 34+35, the most sexually explicit song ever performed by Grande, and the track Nasty are instead the most ambiguous songs: frivolous, simple and not at all sentimental, they definitely lower the quality of the album, despite being catchy and captivating.
    The real highlight of the album is undoubtedly Grande's vocal virtuosity. Never so light and powerful at the same time, never so spontaneous, never so clean has Ariana Grande been in the interpretation of her songs. To say that in My Hair her whistle register is jaw-dropping is an understatement.
    Overall, Positions presents itself as a project full of potential. Although difficult to delineate qualitatively in a universal way, it was certainly useful for its interpreter to write more lightheartedly about her life and feelings, to let go of the pressure, and to explore new musical fields; and that's what matters to Grande.

    Ariana Grande's newest studio album came with an amazing vocal chord arrangement. What makes this album even more special is the whistle notes recorded on more than one song! It's an album with some tracks to keep you cool and some to stay up all night. In general, what makes it good is the appreciation of the potential of the Aryan singer, 10.

    Just because a song is about sex doesn't mean that it's poor quality. I agree that it's not her best album but her vocals are awesome. It's a grower. If you're not into R&B I don't recommend it but if you like R&B you should definetly give it a listen! My favorites are Off The Table, Safety Net, My Hair, Love Language, POV and Test Drive.

    This album is not that bad but also not that good. The songs are okay, lyrics are okay, vocally okay. It's just a little boring. But i'm sure that you have or if you haven't listened to it yet you will have at least 3 or 4 maybe 5 favorite song in the album. In short, I enjoy listening to this album but I think Ariana can do better than that.

    Positions are good. But when it comes to Ariana Grande I expected more. I didn't like so many songs, some even seem to come from the Thank U Next era for their trap-pop melody and beat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is actually not her best creations. It could be a great album i guess. However, "my hair" track it's amazing (the ending it's what makes the song good) and "off the table" or "safety net" are one of my favorites, they have different vibe. What more I can say is that maybe Ariana could make more songs like songs I mentioned in order to not be too repetitive but, the album it's not that bad as it could be. Expand

    EL MEJOR DISCO DE LA HISTORIA.


    Un exquisito viaje musical a través de su fase que dejó Ariana en el estaba muy felíz. Entregó excelente lírica, instrumental, producción, estética. La reina del pop es insuperable.

    I really like the new style Ariana's trying to get into, and she nailed it! You can feel the R&B vibe through all the tracks of the album. I really enjoyed it, the album that I like the most by Ariana Grande. I like the strings that are present in every song and the happy and kind of sensual lyrics, expressing her love for (my opinion) her husband.

Definitely a great album, but unfortunately some people don't appreciate it. Not being an album as a sweetener, for this reason it should be seen with different eyes. It is definitely not a radio album, it is an album to be enjoyed in a particular way. Expand

Es un álbum completamente diferente de sus otros compañeros, su estilo es único, sus letras, sus ideas y sus coros, transmiten libertad y sentimientos seguros, por Ariana; las canciones armonizan perfectamente entre ellas, la voz de Ariana impecable, lúcida, y con los silbidos son como la cereza del pastel, como el diamante de un anillo... Y de las melodías woww estoy completamente enamorado de ellas, me han hecho alucinar. Gracias por este álbum tan hermoso Ariana. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love Ariana, but this album was just not it, this felt more of a album to stay relevant than a album to actually innovate, very predictable.
    I just felt like when doing the album, they just wanted the fans not to complain there wasn’t a release in 2020, I know that thank u next was very difficult to reach, but not that hard.
    Very forgettable, hope Ari releases a better album next time, not something this mainstream…

    This album is perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to every track and it was the first time that I've fully enjoyed listening to an album. The stories and messages which Ariana recounts and sings about are all so original and I adore the fact that this is a love album which also explores different thematic messages such as the art of healing and letting go.

The stories and messages which Ariana recounts and sings about are all so original and I adore the fact that this is a love album which also explores different thematic messages such as the art of healing and letting go. The production is of my favourite things about the album, it is so distinct to her previous albums. I really enjoy the r&b sound from this album, it reminded me of an r&b and soul album straight from the 80's. I like how she lost the pop sound and kept it to a minimum, after all, Ariana's r&b music is much better than her pop music and her voice is particularly suited for r&b and soul too. The lyrical content was interesting and fun which makes the album interesting. Lastly, the vocals on this album are amazing, the vocal production (which Ariana did herself) was breath taking. From the backing vocals to harmonies and ad-libs, this album might be her best vocally yet. In conclusion, this album is blissful and serene, Ariana has obviously matured as shown on the tracks and I appreciate her effort on this album. An absolute 10/10 album, and I'd recommend that everyone go stream it. Expand

    Grande is making no effort to be discreet, instead explicitly owning her sexuality—the album is called Positions, after all. The juxtaposition of beautiful violin sounds and risqué lyrics has become one of Grande’s signature sounds, and it suits her well.
  2. 80
    Grande laid bare may well be seen as a stopgap in her canon, using taboo to checkmate her past trauma, but it does pull off the rare feat of at least sounding effortless.

    With little conflict and few psychological insights, Positions zeroes in on the enviable confidence that only pop stars on top of the world and with nothing to lose can afford. It's easy to write it off as empty calories, but pop has always been described in such terms: cake, candy, chocolate, confection. Positions isn't a "sweetener" but pure sugar.
