    After sweetener is her best album. This is the album that Ariana has always wanted to create and release. I'm so proud of her, this is so mature. The notes, harmonies and lyrics are killing me. Totally in love.

But on the 2nd listen, i was amazed, as if i've never heard it before. This album is definitely amazing, it gives you the feelings of Sweetener and Dangerous Woman combined together, and she gave us an amazing R&B/pop album. Her most cohesive project to date, her vocal improvements are shown throughout the entire project and it's one of her best vocally. She used her voice to create beautiful harmonies in almost every song, the layers were magical, and her whistles shine bright in this specific album. This is like nothing she's done before, it has elements of what she's done, but this is a completely different sound, especially with songs like motive, my hair, love language, pov, she really took a step back from her pop roots and dived into R&B/Soul beautifully. To many this might not be her best album, but anyone who says it's a terrible album clearly doesn't know what mysic is, and doesn't appreciate R&B well enough to enjoy this masteriece of an album. It is one of her best.… Expand

    The beautiful pop/r&b album takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster as the album progresses. My personal favourites are off the table ft The Weekend, pov, and 34+35. The main themes that were heard during the album was love, sex and growing from past mistakes. The album is a beautiful piece of art and everyone should give it a listen.

    Um dos melhores álbuns e mais maduro da Ari, aqui ela se reinventa de forma polida maestral diferente de TUN, os violinos e toda as orquestras misturada com trap e o tom do R&B mostra o quanto ela é evoluída e se arrisca na música. As parcerias de longe são as melhores faixas do álbum.

    So monotonous and clearly an album to make some extra money without trying to create decent music..

    ARIANAAAAAAA YOU DID THAT!
    I loved this album so much, I definitely wasn't expecting all that she served with this project, some people complaining about her not singing pop so much but r&b is what she wants and her zone, love her and this album is masterpiece

    I couldn't make it through the album. This could just be thank u, next 2.0 and I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Kind of disappointing

    it’s so good the reviewers are definitely biased and it’s embarrassing to be that biased if you call yourself a professional

    Where is the artistic growth? sure the same melodies and harmonies placed on top of more melodies and harmonies are doable for the first couple of albums, but it is getting tiring. This album provides nothing fresh, nothing spectacular and I like Ari but she's just milking the same old beats and sounds, and for what? money-making? staying "relevant" there is no growth at all and I don'tWhere is the artistic growth? sure the same melodies and harmonies placed on top of more melodies and harmonies are doable for the first couple of albums, but it is getting tiring.

    o album é cheio de vocais incriveis, eu estava temerosa por ter sido feito em um tempo tao curto mas com certeza estou impressionada com a produção, letras lindas e VOCAIS insanos, ah sim, vale muito a pena embora muitos tenham esperado mais um album pop ela se excedeu dessa vez. o melhor album até agora.

    Álbum muito bom, mas carece de algo a mais para se destacar, os feats. Parecem jogados num montante de faixas que emulam um R&B retro em meio ao "Trapop" que a própria Ariana SATUROU e agora parece presa nele pra sempre! Talvez se o álbum tivesse produções do Max Martin e Ilya e menos músicas com o Tommy Brown e a Victoria Monet, teria um substancial maior pra entregar!

    Es un álbum demasiado bueno, tanto en los mensajes que dan las letras, tanto en el instrumental de cada canción y por supuesto en los vocales.
    Ariana Grande ha sabido manejar este álbum muy bien y nos demuestra que es una artista versátil y completa.

    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.

    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.
