    The songs on this album are very peaceful since it is R&B But without a doubt the lyrics of each song are so artistic

    This is a gentle and truly magical album that captured me from the first track and didn’t let go until the last one. My favorites are POV, off the table, my hair, safety net. From now on, this is one of the most beloved albums in Ariana’s career on a level with Dangerous Woman 10/10 Awesome

    Eu amei, o meu estilo favorito é R&B eu gosto de escutar músicas calmas e pensar na vida, agradeço a Ariana por não fazer música pop só pra agradar a indústria e sim fazer algo que ela ame e se identifique

    This album is magical, sensitive, and sexy at the same time. It makes me feel completely safe and comfortable with myself and my sexiness, that's so welcoming at this moment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautifully composed album that talks about growth, grief and healing in the midst of a global pandemic. Finding love and sexually exploring with her new partner. But most importantly learning about herself and learning to love the parts of her others do, which she herself sees as flaws. Expand

    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.
