    One of the most emotional and pure album to date but i found disappointing to put songs like 7 rings in the same project even if it's a good song though ! But when all the album have deep lyrics like "ghostin", "needy" or "fake smile" i think "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" and "7 rings" just don't fit with the rest of the album .

    This is one of the best pop albums of the decade, and the best album of Ariana’s career. Ariana finally put true emotion in her music. The production is so clean. It’s depressing, but it gives you a sense of release.

Aqui, vemos uma Ariana apaixonada, delicada, debochada, indiferente e ao mesmo tempo preocupada. A faixa-título, 'thank u, next' é com certeza uma das músicas que mais marcaram no ano de 2019. Um pop inteligente, que resume bem a sonoridade do álbum. Muito bem produzido e com muitos co-compositores.
    O problema deste álbum é a canção '7 rings'. Não sei o que passou na cabeça dos produtores na hora de fazerem uma canção tão pobre de significação e tão irrelevante, em um album muito coeso. 'bloodline' soa como uma tentativa falha de fazer um hit radiofônico, e acaba se tornando motivo de piada.
    Em geral, é um álbum muito bom, que com certeza é infinitamente melhor do que 'sweetener', que possui poucos momentos de glória, e muitos momentos não tão gloriosos assim. 'thank u, next' é um álbum de perdas, e ao mesmo tempo de ganhos. Um pop misturado com r&b, um pouco de trap, uma combinação que ficou ótima na voz de Ariana Grande, que ganha ainda mais destaque na canção 'imagine', mostrando que ela é uma das maiores vozes da atualidade.

La gran variación de ritmos entre una cancion y otra lo hace una maravilla y lo convierte en una obra de arte que se expone en el museo de la musica pop. La capacidad de unir canciones como Imagine y Ghostin en un mismo álbum con Bloodline o 7 Rings es algo magnifico y digno de ser felicitado. Sin duda alguna este álbum titulado Thank U, Next podría ser consagrado como el mejor del año 2019 y como uno de los mejores álbumes de la década.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ariana Grande shows a side of her traumatic life after her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died last year, her engagement with SNL star Pete Davidson broke off, and the Manchester attack in 2017. She express her feelings about loving and losing and being needy after all that. In tracks like “ghostin”, “fake smile”, “imagine” and “needy”, she gets real about her life and how she can’t fake her emotions anymore; she says sorry to her fiancé for feeling really sad about her ex who died while imagining a world where she could be with him again, and accepting that she might feel neediness for loving someone or wanting to feel loved. Ariana never expressed that much in an album like she did with this one. Best album of 2019 for sure. Expand

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.
