    I've never been a big Ariana fan, but damn this album is a masterpiece. This is hands down her best project so far. It's so mature and cohesive, and her vocals are on another level. People who expect a DW 2.0 might be quite disappointed, but this is not an immediate album. it has zero bangers and requires time to be fully appreciated and understood, and that's why I love it so much.

    Ariana has matured throughout her musical journey, and it is evident in this album alone. Though some say that since this album talks about sex in a negative light, I believe we all should view it as a normal, and natural, part of life. Ariana speaks about love, sex, and loss in this album in the most beautiful and refreshing way.

    This album is also more down-tempo than her other works,    Ariana has matured throughout her musical journey, and it is evident in this album alone.

    This album is also more down-tempo than her other works, and it's a pleasant escape from everything that's going on. This album is also beautifully cohesive and vastly experimental. Some standout tracks of this album are "just like magic", a trap-pop song that speaks about Ariana spreading happiness, love, and light to everything she does while also pulling reference to the Law of Attraction— "34+35", a playful trap-pop song backed with exciting strings that explicitly plays around the 69 position— and lastly, but certainly not least: the gorgeous "my hair", an R&B song that sounds like it was taken from the past. Ariana sings about her iconic and well-known hair, while also showcasing her ethereal whistle registry.

    It's evident that Ariana put a lot of soul and effort into this album, resulting in one of the best albums put out this year.    … Expand

    “Unforgettable pop”....I’m sorry but that’s not what this is. This is timeless RnB. She is no longer making music for clout, she’s making music for herself. You can hear that this album is coming from such a genuine place, just like Thank U, Next. It’s very different, but to say it’s bad is beyond me. It’s just a different vibe and, in my opinion, her best yet.

    Ariana se arrisca em fazer o álbum R&B, o álbum é maduro ele fala da sua vivência atualmente, Ariana não tem medo de falar abertamente sobre sexo, o álbum mostra toda a sua potência vocal, desde voz de cabeça até whistle falado, My Hair é um ponto alto do álbum, um R&B bem feito

    Maravilhoso como sempre! Definitivamente um dos melhores álbuns já feitos por ela. Uma vibe meio anos 90 e ousadia em investir em um ritmo que não foi feito pra hitar.

    The songs on this album really give me chills that no other album has given me before. Every single song is amazingly incredible and marvelous from the beginning to the end.

    This album is truly one of my favourites ever.. Ariana Grande managed to combine good enough lyrics with an astonishing production. Her vocal performance is completely out of this world and honestly I believe this is one of her best works on that department, if not the best. I hope that she dives into rnb even more in the future.

    It's simply art, but it's something you get used to if you don't like it from the beginning, outside of that Ari never fails.

    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.
