    A magnificent album, Ariana once again renews herself bringing an album entirely in r & b. Songs like Shut Up and My Hair bring a beautiful orchestra in their instrumental. Simply magnificent.

    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.… Expand

    Este álbum demuestra el empoderamiento femenino en su máxima expresión. Letras rápidas como nuestros tiempos, se mezclan muy bien con una potente producción R&B. Esto acompañado con una potente que voz que pone en manifiesto el poder vocal de Ariana y su posición en la industria.

    I never got disappointed with her. As a fan I could see the maturity in this new album, I’m proud and glad that she made something that she loves. My favorite on the album is “pov”, a song that shows that she grew up since ghostin, the lyric really got me emotional.

    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.
