    Os vocais estão IM-PE-CÁ-VEIS (como sempre em todos os álbuns). A Ariana cresceu muito, ela ama o que faz, e verdadeiramente entrega sempre música de qualidade. Me sinto lisonjeado com esse álbum! Obrigado por tudo, Ariana!

    Hermoso álbum, me encanta toda esa luz que dijo que le metería, ya que son canciones con un fondo triste y ella hizo la manera perfecta de que este álbum sea genial. Felicidades Ari❤️

    This album is literally her best, most genuine, vulnerable yet confident body of work she's ever released and I love it! It's beautiful both sonically and lyrically.

It's beautiful both sonically and lyrically. Love the direction she's going in. It wildly exceeded my deepest expectations. No song deserves to be skipped. Every single one tells a story and it's visible that with this project Ariana has something to say as befits a true artist and a huge pop star that she is. I love the fact that she's been exploring her sound and trying to find what suits her best and that's she's left all these cute pop songs she used to make to focus on more mature ones in which she's covering the subjects she's passionate about and she wants to talk about without being afraid of what would people think. That's how you know somebody is a true artist and a star. With that being said, Ariana Grande is undoubtedly at the peak of her game and she doesn't seem to change it. Amazing job! Congratulations!… Expand

    Literalmente uma obra de arte, não há uma faixa ruim se quer, eu poderia ouvir somente este álbum pelo resto da minha vida e eu ainda ficaria feliz com isso.

Ariana fala todas as suas verdades e segredos nesse álbum, se abre como nunca havia feito antes falando de seus relacionamentos passados em forma de gratidão, de como é ruim fingir que está feliz por fora para a imprensa sendo que está um caos por dentro e de como ela é uma mulher independente, rica e poderosa! As composições, a produção, as batidas, os vocais, os clipes, tudo está perfeito e merece ser enaltecido!… Expand

    Probablemente este sea el segundo mejor álbum de Ariana Grande, solo superado por el increíble Dangerous Woman.

    Apenas um dos melhores álbuns da Ariana.
    Acredito que fica equiparado com Dangerous Woman.
    Agora é só ficar de olho em Bloodline, Fake Smile e Break Up With Your Girlfriend, i'm bored que estão ae pra virar uns hit.

    Ariana Grande is on top of the world. The biggest artist currently delivers an amazing job with her fifth album, 'Thank U, Next', a masterpiece with zero skips. Influenced by pop and R&B artistas, Grande is about to become one.

TUN is her fifth album and gave us pop masterpieces, album quality and "hip-pop" cohesion, but now with added global hits. this album will reach miles by sales and impact, and will probably stay long at the top, and we're here for it… Expand

    Esse álbum trás uma mistura de elementos R&B, hip-hop, pop que faz dele diferente dos trabalhos que Ariana vinha apresentando no passado, que é selado com vocais impecáveis e letras muito pessoais

    Um álbum perfeito, uns dos melhores de sua carreira. Quanto esse quanto o anterior "Sweetener" são uma "obras-primas" álbuns totalmente coessos que significam muito para Grande. Simplesmente perfeito. Grande se consolida mais ainda na indústria!

    Es una artista con todas las letras, se merece todo el éxito que tiene, la manera en que transmite sus sentimientos y los buenos productores hacen que su música sea arte.

    O melhor álbum dela até hoje. As músicas são reais e verdadeiras, falam sobre situações ruins que ela conseguiu transformar em lindas músicas. Apaixonada.

    This album is just perfect. After Sweetener, I did not think that this album was so well produced, it shows the dedication that Ariana and her team had in the creation and adhesion of this. Each song has something special, the Album tells you a story. The darkest part of Ariana. A vulnerable Ariana that tries to leave after all the **** she has gone through. It is beautiful and deep. Perfect.

    Such a cohesive piece of work for the pop elite Ariana. She injects so much honesty into the attitude and swagger she brings into the table, without coming off arrogant. As appropriate as the title is, she's all so grateful to be here, to be a performer, to be the time's best, and to be following her own rules. I love this album and it hasn't stopped being on repeat.

    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.
