    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ariana reveals a part of her she hasn't revealed on any other albums of hers, not even on "Sweetener". The album begins with a sense of denial, feeling needy, wanting space, faking your happiness... to feeling acceptance, finding your true independence and learning from your past relationships. "thank u, next" brings a personal part of Ariana we have never seen, with some of her best produced music with "ghostin," and it truly deserves its score of 10.… Expand

    Me gusta mucho, la producción es buena especialmente en Ghostin, Fake smile, bad idea y bloodline. Es uno de sus mejores álbumes y no solo por el sonido. El significado de sus canciones como imagine, needy, ghostin, fake smile (que es muy lindo pues está bajo el ojo publico), in my head y thank u, next (que es sobre su amor propio) son increíbles y realmente es sincera.

    Absolutely amazing!! I just listened to it and it's really different, every song has a different meaning and vibe but they still serve the same concept. I don't know if her other albums are this great maybe I will give them a listen. She really should win at the next grammys.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. talvez seja o álbum que menos gostei da Ariana. os vocais são bons e bem trabalhados mas sem arriscar, se mantendo dentro daquilo que já ouvimos em todas as outras faixas dos outros álbuns.

    isso me deixa cabisbaixo pra ouvir o álbum ou de ser uns dos meus favoritos.    … Expand

    it's a nice album, but it seems very repetitive and generic
    Dangerous Woman is better

    Absolutely wonderful, it’s incredible to see Ariana growing in both, her music, and her life! Going through such a bad moment of her personal life and turning that into art is such a beautiful thing to watch, I am proud and excited to see what’s next!

    "Thank u, next" es el álbum que rompe el molde tanto para Ariana Grande como para la mayoría de artistas del este género.

    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.
