    Um álbum coeso, com letras coesas, sonoridade ótima e relaxante. Pra aqueles que gostam de uma agitação, o lugar não é aqui.

    It’s getting to the point now where a year doesn’t feel complete without a new Ariana Grande album, so anything is a blessing – but even in our wildest dreams, we couldn’t have expected this

    Positions is Grande’s third album in as many years amounts to the dirtiest, sexiest, raunchiest collection of tunes Grande’s ever put out in one go (which is saying something), with the content of the lyrics making more headlines around the world than the actual songs. But what the clickbait articles don’t tell you is that these sexually liberated lyrics also hint at Grande’s sense of completion within herself – of all the people on Earth, Grande’s definitely earned the right to have a little fun.

    There’s some truly magical music on this set. Firstly, “off the table”, featuring The Weeknd, evokes prime Mariah in its breathless romance, its hot and heavy sensuality. Abel is in fine voice, too – sounding comfortable and supple, relaxed and controlled in his delivery. Another feature track works out great too – “safety net” makes the most of Ty Dolla $ign’s soothing bleat, using it to complement Ari’s most assured, emotionally sincere vocal on the album.

    “nasty” has Grande at her sexiest, promising to give it like he’s never had it, and wrapping these promises around an R Kelly grind, sounding all “remix to Ignition / hot and fresh out the kitchen”. This same sultriness reappears on “pov”, where Grande’s vocal fireworks are given the widest space to burn, and the hook (“I’d love to see me from your point of you”) is dynamite.

    Other highlights – including the Doja Cat feature “motive”, and the stunning “Love Language” – switch up the tempo to something a little quicker, in the process giving the album at least a couple of tracks that are likely to find their way onto contemporary radio.

    The best track of the bunch, other than “nasty” and “off the table”, is probably “34+35” (no prizes for working that one out), which ends up becoming the mission statement for the whole album. It’s about shagging, but the amount of puns, double entendres and jokes littered throughout is staggering. Lyrically, she’s on fire here: “I been drinking coffee / And I been eating healthy / You know I keep it squeaky” is a particular favourite.

    Three albums in three years, four albums in five, and each of them in a minor masterpiece. While thank u, next is probably her best work – and it will probably remain that way forever – Positions is Grande’s most carefree, most playful, most mature work to date. See you all again next year?    … Expand

    Posso dizer que não esperava tamanha evolução musical da ariana em tão pouco tempo. o instrumental de cada faixa tem sua singularidade e ela explorou os vocais graves, médios e em registro de whistle, provando que não vive só de high note.

    Ariana Grande, desde seu primeiro álbum, construiu uma discografia praticamente impecável. Yours Truly, seu debut álbum, transmitiu o sentimento nostálgico de escutar novamente o R&B que embalou os anos 90, Ariana conseguiu encantar os ouvintes com seus vocais doces e abrir expectativas para o que ela entregaria a seguir.

Yours Truly, seu debut álbum, transmitiu o sentimento nostálgico de escutar novamente o R&B que embalou os anos 90, Ariana conseguiu encantar os ouvintes com seus vocais doces e abrir expectativas para o que ela entregaria a seguir. Em My Everything e Dangerous Woman, Ariana se preocupou em entregar o pop perfection, os álbuns continuavam tendo influências de R&B, mas são álbuns focados em entretenimento, com músicas que marcaram uma geração. Depois de três lançamentos bem sucedidos, o aspecto pessoal das canções era justamente o que faltava na discografia de Grande, então foi maravilhoso acompanhar a evolução vista em Sweetener, um álbum pop/ R&B que tem momentos experimentais e as letras mais bonitas e pessoais da sua carreira, passando pelo terrível momento que a jovem cantora viveu com o atentado em seu show em Manchester, até seus relacionamentos pessoais e crises de ansiedade, Ariana tocou em temas que vários de seus fãs e admiradores também já haviam passado. O lançamento do seu álbum seguinte, thank u, next, foi marcado por um terrível momento da vida pessoal da artista que teve que lidar com o falecimento do seu ex-namorado, o rapper Mac Miller. Apesar de menos maduro que o álbum anterior, thank u, next abordou superação, amor próprio e o luto, sendo o maior sucesso comercial da carreira de Ariana, suas músicas tocaram repetidamente pelo mundo inteiro e fez com que a artista se tornasse gigante nos streamings. Considerando o sucesso comercial, e todas as narrativas dos álbuns de Grande até aqui, é honesto dizer que Positions é um fracasso - pelo menos, do ponto de vista artístico -. O álbum não tem substância, não tem sentimentos, as músicas no geral são sobre sexo, mas os instrumentais não te passam essa impressão, é a sensação de ouvir 14 músicas praticamente iguais, com composições que chegar a ser vergonhosas, também não existem refrões marcantes, ou qualquer aspecto que valorize realmente os vocais da artista em questão. As melhores músicas, a faixa-título e pov, apesar de boas faixas, se perdem no meio de tantos bons títulos dos álbuns anteriores. Off the table, com a participação de The Weeknd, motive, com Doja Cat e safety net, com o rapper Ty Dolla $ing, são músicas que provavelmente conseguem um bom resultado comercial, mas não te deixam com nenhum sentimento marcante, apesar de aproveitáveis, aliás, talvez seja esse o maior sentimento que envolve positions: uma completa apatia.… Expand

    Ariana Grande embodies everything that is R&B. All her previous albums were just teasers of what kind of artists she would become, songs like Imagine, showcase just the raw emotion needed to make R&B, to songs like Borderline, which shows how easy she can switch between pop and R&B. Miss Ariana Grande is just the kind of artist her peers need to study.

    Honestly her most creative peace of work. Most of these critics want her to stick to the pop and not branch into her RnB which is kind of anti-black considering this was made with all POC. Vocally, her absolute best. Truly Ariana has found her true sound on this one.

    Just underwhelming as a whole. Some enjoyable, well-produced tracks, but overall Ari played it very safe here. It gets boring after a while and doesn't have much replay value, lyrics are underwritten and at times cringey, but the production is great and her vocals shine as always.

    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.

    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.

    arianas vocals have definitely improved with low notes and high notes for sure, if u don’t like it it’s probably because this album has an r&b vibe and you’re used to her pop side.

    O álbum soa repetitivo tanto em algumas letras quanto no próprio desenho dos arranjos. Além disso, é como se você estivesse ouvindo uma continuação dos dois últimos álbuns da artista, sem muito expansionismo criativo. Ariana precisa sair de uma aparente zona de conforto.

    Here Ariana’s dreamy vocals intertwine perfectly with the string-influenced instrumentals. The songs perpetuate the feeling of being in love and I get emotional just listening to them. Though a few of these songs are not her greatest feats of lyricism, the good greatly outweighs the bad, and the lyrics that aren’t as complex are often wonderfully playful and affectionate.

    the RnB soul album is so perfectly strung together with its harmonies and vocals. each song has its own elements that make its different but cohesive to the album. i’m so pleased with the outcome i was very cautious when i found out it would be RnB. my top picks are shut up, my hair, safety net and pov

The most songs won't chart but I think Ariana does what she always wanted and I'm so happy for her!

    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.
