    Ariana trouxe neste novo álbum uma perspectiva mais sexy, mas ao mesmo tempo delicada. Sim, concordemos com as críticas das quais dizem não ser sua melhor produção, mas também concordemos que Ariana, em nenhum momento, deixou de lado a sua Grande criatividade. My hair e Six Thirty, de longe, são as músicas mais expressivas do trabalho. Uma intro foi muito bem selecionada com shut up.Ariana trouxe neste novo álbum uma perspectiva mais sexy, mas ao mesmo tempo delicada.

    No geral, achei ótimo.    … Expand

    Posiciones is not just an album, it is a culture reboot, a reason to breathe. an escape from this cruel world of thieves. It's art, the first gift you open at christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you've always wanted, positions in everything you need.

Ariana y su equipo han hecho uno de los mejores álbumes, cada canción transmite una paz y a la ves una motivación para bailar(en lo personal), un álbum con sonidos diferentes a lo que estamos acostumbrados de ariana, su voz a sido explotada de la mejor en manera en todo el album.

    R&B it’s for Ariana. she had this tone that makes every song feel so special and the light tone that se brings... everything, soft.
    Lyrics are so so good and so fresh

    I can’t describe what this album is, cause it’s more than art, it’s more than just another album, it’s perfect. It’s something different from what Ariana has given us, a lot of people aren’t ready for this change, but I’m ready for it, and it’s just incredible, I love it and I hope people love it as much as I do.

    It’s nothing like her former albums and her sound is developing. Some like metadummies don’t understand that and wants another pop only album. Anyways it ate unlike this outdated site.

    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.
