    I'm so disappointed in this album. so many of the songs feel rushed and boring. ariana has grown very little as an artist, and it shows the most on positions. just listen to thank u, next instead

    álbum coeso, na qual ariana mostra seu lado mais sexual e vocal, destacando my hair e pov, como as melhores em questão de vocal. Os 3 feats são perfeitos.

    ariana is the greatest, her versatility and the way that 'positions' conveys the feeling of home to her, makes me believe that r & b is her sound. the album is perfect, takes us to another world, another sensation. makes our souls be touched !. ariana you never miss, ilysm

    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.

    There is the important thing, it is not how long you have been in the fandom, if not knowing that his greatest inspiration was Mariah Carey and Aretha Franklin, one of his favorite genres is R&B and with this album he wanted to do things well, that's why it's a mix from the minimal r & b and pop of those golden ages.

    the album was amazing, anyone who says otherwise is a tasteless rat who only listens to ariana for pop bops and has not had a taste of good rnb music. she really grew and matured from yours truly to now, positions. the control she has over her voice is beautiful and it’s something different from music like bang bang and problem. she seems so happy and she expresses it so well through herthe album was amazing, anyone who says otherwise is a tasteless rat who only listens to ariana for pop bops and has not had a taste of good rnb music. she really grew and matured from yours truly to now, positions. the control she has over her voice is beautiful and it’s something different from music like bang bang and problem. she seems so happy and she expresses it so well through her lyrical content, although there are some moments that are a bit emotional, but that’s cool cuz vulnerability is good. she whistled an entire verse, showing off her incredible vocal ability (she doesn’t need to belt every other verse). the entire album is a masterpiece, argue with the wall.

    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.
