    Ariana no sale de su zona de comodidad, aunque es un álbum cohesivo en su mayoría, aburre un poco con líricas un poco clichés y un sonido repetitivo y plano en algunos aspectos. Un retroceso en comparación con Thank U Next

    Positions é um álbum positivo, que traz renovação, mostra que Ariana está feliz com isso.
    Tem coerência, coesão, a batida e a letra é linda,isso está perfeito!

    very well structured album with very well produced songs.
    Definitely Grande's best evolution, as her vocals were very well done and Grande's majestic Whistle proves it.

    La verdad es que esperaba algo mejor. Pero en general suena muy monótono, en lugar de ser cohesivo. Cómo sea, algunas canciones tienen buenos ritmos, y letras divertidas tales como My Hair, o Off The Table.

    Iconic. She proves once again that she doesn't need to be linked to pop to deliver flawless works. In it, she delivers a unique r&b, something that maybe, only she would be able to do.

    Ariana Grande entrega tudo que os seus verdadeiros fãs pediram durante os últimos meses: um delicioso álbum R&B. Com faixas calmas que vão do mais quente ao mais triste, a MEGA ESTRELA DO POP explorou a fundo os seus whistles mostrando o quanto cresceu vocal mente. Positions é um álbum apaixonante, sexy e emotivo quando preciso.

And before y’all come for me I’m black and I know Ariana is capable of doing r and b well (she has the vocals for it) but this whole thing is just a mess. The doja cat and Ariana feature was also a mess and the beat didn’t make any sense. Positions was the only good song good song and it’s because it ironically sounded like it should be on her previous album. From god is a women and 7 rings to.......this. Tragic.

    There are some standout tracks, like safety net, my hair, love language, & pov, but overall the album feel uninspired & bland. A lot of the tracks blend together and don't have memorable aspects.

    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.
