    Era isso que eu queria! Um álbum sólido que introduz a Ariana para uma nova era R&B e não um conjuntos de músicas mainstreaming baseada em tendências que a crítica aclama só por ter potencial pra hit.

    This is an r&b album, i don't know why these biased bland white men that prefer their boring ass pop and country music are reviewing this album, this is not for y'all. They are being just straight up hateful because she'snot doing pop **** anymore.

    Ariana has once again proved that she is that girl! All the songs are perfectly crafted. This sound definitely fits her so much.

    E pensar que era impossível a Ariana Grande lançar um álbum pior que o thank u, next e o sweetener, mas ela simplesmente conseguiu esse feito lançando o positions!

    Safety net implora para ser single. Nem todas as músicas solos me cativaram mas destaco Just like magic que tem uma boa batida

    ruim. péssimo. igual ao TUN, cheio de batida trap genérica. nada novo. ariana morreu em DW, depois disso só decauiu e tá lançando qualquer merd* só pra dizer que lançou.

    This is a good Ariana's album,i do not reckon,that the album is boring. Song with the Weeknd is the most beautiful and incredible.

    R&BIANA IN THE HOUSE. From the start to the finish this album shows power, confidence and real vocals. She shows in this project that most of pop girlies are far behind her. This is her first project where we can see mostly R&B and I am here for it. For this project she worked with people who knew what she wanted and they created MASTERPIECE.

    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.
