    This is her best album after Sweetener. Clearly the one she always wanted to do. One of the most cohesive, dreamy, authentic albums of 2020. You are not gonna find your typical basic pop songs in here. Takes a while to get into it but it’s very worth it. So glad she finally found happiness.

    Could have made a great EP with half of these songs, like real high points 34+35, Just Like Magic, the title track, Love Language and POV, which could all fit in well on her best album, Sweetener. But most of this is low-impact and feels unfinished.

    As an old Ariana stan, I am deeply disappointed by this album. While I get that she's taking the R&B route now, that doesn't mean the music has to sound this incredibly dull and boring. There are plenty of other R&B albums out there that are true gems and don't play it this safe and sound this predictable. I'll be waiting for her next record.

    this album is a masterpiece. every single track is so different from the others, yet perfect in its own way. this is definitely her best album, and possibly my own personal favorite album ever. the production is just beautiful and the lyrics are perfect.

    É o álbum mais maduro da Ariana Grande. Com r&b e vocais perfeitos, a cantora mostra que se reinventa a cada álbum e traz um projeto novo em folha, que soa completamente diferente da proposta do 'thank u, next', mesmo tendo sido lançado apenas 1 ano e 8 meses depois.
    Literalmente não é um trabalho feito pra o público grande que espera um pop 'Dangerous Woman' da Ariana, que nos trouxe

    SHE DID IT AGAIN and released her album of the career for the 3rd consecutive time. An album that proves Ariana's versality. A dream coming true for the fans. She always releases her best, always surprising. The queen of her generation. From "shut up"" to "pov", a complete perfection.

    É um bom álbum, mas não gostei muito apesar de ser fã da artista. Tenho esperanças que ela lance um dia algum álbum no mesmo hype de Yours Truly. Apesar de Sweetener e TN, ele ainda acaba sendo meu álbum favorito. Acredito que este tenha em alguns momentos uma vibe parecida, mas infelizmente, não me conquistou.

    Just underwhelming as a whole. Some enjoyable, well-produced tracks, but overall Ari played it very safe here. It gets boring after a while and doesn't have much replay value, lyrics are underwritten and at times cringey, but the production is great and her vocals shine as always.

    Incrível e maduro. Um álbum com um belo R&B, sem músicas chicletes, mas algo puro e louvável. Este álbum parece ter ainda mais da identidade de Grande, tornando-o mais singular e harmônico. Ariana da um grande salto em sua carreira, tornando-se eclética e poderosa, superando a nomenclatura de apenas "estrela pop".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is the downgrade of one of the biggest popstar. The pop girlie, Ariana Grande, became comfortable with her music that she has forgotten to elevate her style. Does the pandemic contribute to her "fatigue" to create a good music? Expand

    An album which showcases Grande's growth, artistically and personally, as she lets the world into her life with sexual hits, empowering anthems, and raw ballads. Her best project yet, which *MUST* be viewed and listened to as an R&B album, not as part of her previous pop persona.

    O álbum é legal, tenho um carinho enorme por Ariana, porém em grande parte se torna muito repetitivo, tem como melhor música a própria Positions.

    Her best body of work yet. she showed artistic growth with both sonically and lyrically, showed her sexual and mature side again after we saw it back in 2016 with her album “dangerous woman”. it sounds like a more mature and advanced version of her album “sweetener”. throughout the album she made multiple references about her previous albums and life events. a true R&B masterpiece and aHer best body of work yet. she showed artistic growth with both sonically and lyrically, showed her sexual and mature side again after we saw it back in 2016 with her album “dangerous woman”. it sounds like a more mature and advanced version of her album “sweetener”. throughout the album she made multiple references about her previous albums and life events. a true R&B masterpiece and a skipless album.

    The greatest album by Ariana Grande. On my initial listen i absolutely adored and loved all the tracks. Each track represents her different topics.

    I'm not a hater. I love her last albums and I really happy that Ariana do whatever she can do with her music. But this album is.. bad, really bad. It's boring, the sounds doesn't feel good or interesting and when it tries to recover, it's too late and stays bad. I'm terribly sorry because I love her and I really want to like this album but no.

    Diferente de seus últimos trabalhos, ela deixou o holofote do pop e entregou um brilhante trabalho dentro do gênero R&B, que por sua vez a intensificou seu lugar dentro da indústria.

    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.
