    A pop masterpiece. Touching ballads, mesmerizing traps, some eye-popping radio anthems. Ariana made a strong statement to enter the pop music hall of fame.

Ariana posiciona su quinto trabajo discográfico 'thank u, next' como uno de los álbumes pop más memorables, brillantes y potentes no solo del 2019, sino de los últimos tiempos siendo este un proyecto en el que se reflejan éxitos pegadizos y de gran renombre como el single homónimo de este mismo proyecto 'thank u, next', el segundo single a la cabeza '7 rings' que tuvo un éxito tan brillante, que le hizo merecer y de qué forma dos nominaciones en la versión número 62 de los Grammy Awards, entre ellas en una categoría principal [Record Of The Year] y en la categoría de Best Pop Solo Performance, demostrando así que Grande viene a codearse con grandes estrellas en su mismo campo que tienen más trayectoria pero sin desmerecer el talento y la habilidad de crear piezas que sean difícil de olvidar entre sus fans debido a toda la historia y contexto que existe detrás de cada una de las canciones presentes en este álbum. Ariana es una artista que con tan solo un poco más de ocho años de trayectoria musical, ya se posiciona como una de las artistas más grandes de los tiempos actuales y de la historia por tan brillante capacidad interpretativa, creatividad de creación, capacidad vocal, desempeño comercial y aclamación mundial.… Expand

    it's an album with so many layers, and if you explore them all you'll see how in reality it often shows a cruel and lonely reality, but you also see pleasure in solitude (and in money lol). it's well produced, well written and the vocals are amazing, its tracks don't even have a skip, I say with certainty that it's the perfect pop album, and the best of ariana grande

    I can safely say that it is the best album of Ariana's career. Very well thought out and crafted. All tracks had the potential to be singles.

    "thank u, next" functions as the perfect counterpart to her highly experimental "Sweetener". While in the latter we see Ariana in her oddest yet melodic and harmonious self, the former works as a conductor for Ariana to claim back Control. Standouts such as "fake smile, "NASA", the brassy "bloodline" or her newest single "break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored", shows us what are the"thank u, next" functions as the perfect counterpart to her highly experimental "Sweetener".

Standouts such as "fake smile, "NASA", the brassy "bloodline" or her newest single "break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored", shows us what are the consequences of breaking the heart of a woman in love who had poured everything into her art, yet getting very little in retribution. "thank u, next" is empowering, healing, independent, but must of all, a careless and fun to listen experience.… Expand

    I'm probably rating this a tad high but it's only because I thought she would never recover from the disaster of Sweetener. She's back on track with this record. Next time she should lose cheap radio sells like 7 rings and go for more like ghostin. The emotional complexity should be there throughout her next record instead of just a couple of tracks.

I would also say Max Martin seems to have climbed out of the hole he dug for himself with the horrifying reputation by tswift. I gave Dangerous Woman the same rating but this was more an 8.5 than a 9. DW will for a while be her creative peak. Thank u, next comes close but she can do better.… Expand

    Her best album so far. Ariana doesn't worried about offering a boring pop material as her other albums maybe seemed.Instead of it, 'thank u, next' is a sophomore declaration of courage and empathy, that grows up through its skip-less, adorable songs.

    Ariana Grande surpreende com um album melhor do que o lançado meses antes, puxando um pouco para o R&B, o album da princesa do pop é realmente delicioso de ouvir.

    Wow it's crazy .
    It's my 2nd favourite album from her. I really like bad idea in my head make up bloodline and ghostin. I'm giving it a good score just because it's Ariana.

    Occasionally, rarely, a record comes along that restores our faith. If this is the future of pop-music, then sign me up.

    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.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
