    Ariana Grande's newest studio album came with an amazing vocal chord arrangement. What makes this album even more special is the whistle notes recorded on more than one song! It's an album with some tracks to keep you cool and some to stay up all night. In general, what makes it good is the appreciation of the potential of the Aryan singer, 10.

    Idk why these girls are complaining that she's not showing a normal pop or so. This album is a masterpiece as its own, Ari's voice is angelical amd one of the best voices nowadays.

    Es tan arte y la mayoría de sus canciones resaltan, definitivamente si es un reinvento de Ariana y le resultó muy bien sus singles principales son muy adictivos y no para de escucharlo, merecía un mayor puntaje

    It's an album where Ariana is herself 100% and includes new sounds for her songs. She's very versatile and her voice is perfect for all types of music: this album is the proof of what I just said. It's a vocal masterpiece

    EL MEJOR DISCO DE LA HISTORIA.


    Un exquisito viaje musical a través de su fase que dejó Ariana en el estaba muy felíz. Entregó excelente lírica, instrumental, producción, estética. La reina del pop es insuperable.

    I really like the new style Ariana's trying to get into, and she nailed it! You can feel the R&B vibe through all the tracks of the album. I really enjoyed it, the album that I like the most by Ariana Grande.

Definitely a great album, but unfortunately some people don't appreciate it. Not being an album as a sweetener, for this reason it should be seen with different eyes. It is definitely not a radio album, it is an album to be enjoyed in a particular way. Expand

Es un álbum completamente diferente de sus otros compañeros, su estilo es único, sus letras, sus ideas y sus coros, transmiten libertad y sentimientos seguros, por Ariana; las canciones armonizan perfectamente entre ellas, la voz de Ariana impecable, lúcida, y con los silbidos son como la cereza del pastel, como el diamante de un anillo... Y de las melodías woww estoy completamente enamorado de ellas, me han hecho alucinar. Gracias por este álbum tan hermoso Ariana. Expand

    This album is perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to every track and it was the first time that I've fully enjoyed listening to an album.

The stories and messages which Ariana recounts and sings about are all so original and I adore the fact that this is a love album which also explores different thematic messages such as the art of healing and letting go. The production is of my favourite things about the album, it is so distinct to her previous albums. I really enjoy the r&b sound from this album, it reminded me of an r&b and soul album straight from the 80's. I like how she lost the pop sound and kept it to a minimum, after all, Ariana's r&b music is much better than her pop music and her voice is particularly suited for r&b and soul too. The lyrical content was interesting and fun which makes the album interesting. Lastly, the vocals on this album are amazing, the vocal production (which Ariana did herself) was breath taking. From the backing vocals to harmonies and ad-libs, this album might be her best vocally yet. In conclusion, this album is blissful and serene, Ariana has obviously matured as shown on the tracks and I appreciate her effort on this album. An absolute 10/10 album, and I'd recommend that everyone go stream it. 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.
