    Aqui Ariana Grande mostrou ser a maior artista viva, trazendo letras e produções profundas e inspiradoras.

    This is one of the most overrated musical projects I have ever heard. It feels like musical McDonalds.

    such a shame she has a good voice but her songs are all the same... this could easily be stweetener pt 2 or positions pt 2 and I wouldn't realize it.

    This whole album is one of the most overrated ever. You can see how desesperate for numbers she was, releasing album after album just cause she was on her peak. I rather quality over cuantity.

    Seems like she doesn’t care about her image maturing. Same thing over and over. I just don’t like it. Feel like I’m listening to the same song all over with different lyrics.

    For me, this is the definition of an overrated and over hyped album. Because of this I feel like in 10-20 years, it will not be remembered. Small shelf life for this one.

    I did try to like this album but unfortunately it lacks something that makes it standout if i'm being honest. Each track borrows chords from sounds we have heard before in the last 20 years and strangely each track sounds like rushed takes of her previous music in her catalogue. In some tracks, the forced Mariah Carey-esque sound takes a toll on the song and is honestly laughable to beI did try to like this album but unfortunately it lacks something that makes it standout if i'm being honest.

    Appropriated the Black culture for the entire era. Awful lyrics, awful sound, awful singer.

    I'm sorry but this album aged like milk. She cannot top Dangerous Woman. She needs to reinvent her next album. I fear in her success if still continues like this.

    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.
