    The best, most heartfelt album I’ve ever heard. Grande truly went above and beyond. The album is so honest and close to her heart. I feel everyone can relate to it

    Thank U, Next is one of Ariana Grande’s best body of work! The album shows acceptance in both herself and denial. She shows her growth in artistry and in life situations. She tells a story, a story about a woman who has delt with many things in life. She tells us that she knows what she has done, but she grows and learns self-love. Knowing that she comes first and her mental health. EachThank U, Next is one of Ariana Grande’s best body of work! The album shows acceptance in both herself and denial.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un muy buen album. 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. Podríamos describir a "Imagine como la introducción perfecta para este album, algo tan magnifico como lo fue "Raindrops" (An Ángel Cried) para introducir Sweetener.… Expand

    literally the best album released this year. i waited until the end of the year to see if others could touch it, and nope. this remains the best. this has to be her most personal yet, and it shows. we understand exactly what she went through with every track.

    It's a different album in a good way, you know? It's kinda pop, kinda RB&B and stuff like that. I really love Pop Ariana BUT this side of her it's not bad.

    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

    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.
