    Really like the album! Ariana Grande slays on this album and her other albums with her high vocal range and beautiful singing! Songs like Let Me Love You, Be Alright, Everyday and Dangerous Woman. This is an album worth listening to!

    No entiendo porque "Dangerous Woman" tiene tan buena puntuación, es completamente genérico y repetitivo, además de tener una temática sobreexplotada y unas líricas bastante malas.

    This album is simply pure pop perfection. A gem that did not deserve to be released, as no one would be worthy enough to listen to such a masterpiece. Absolutely stunning and ground-breaking. This is one of those rare albums that has 0 flaws. The best song on this amazing album is Step On Up.

    Amazing album. Almost everything is perfect. None of these tracks is a skip. Her vocal is one of the best in the industry. Production is good. The lyrical content still needs to improve.
    Moonlight 10/10(cute and perfect intro)
    Dangerous Woman 9/10(MV is not good... the song itself is good but wonderful) Be Alright 9/10(production is good but the melody is not so good) Into You    Amazing album.

    Be Alright 9/10(production is good but the melody is not so good)
    Into You 10/10(pop perfection)
    Side To Side (feat. Nicki Minaj) 9.5/10(great, Nicki's verse improves this track)
    Let Me Love You (feat. Lil Wayne) 8/10(fair, Wayne's verse doesn't work)
    Greedy 9/10(good but sounds like a remix of an old song)
    Leave Me Lonely (feat. Macy Gray) 9.5/10(vocal is incredible but for me Macy sounds too different from Ariana)
    Everyday (feat. Future) 9/10(good track but too commercial, Future sounds not good)
    Sometimes 9.5/10(melody is great and the guitar works perfectly)
    I Don't Care 9.5/10(a huge grower)
    Bad Decisions 9.5/10(love it personally)
    Touch It 10/10(one of the best tracks, deserves much better)
    Knew Better / Forever Boy 9/10(Knew Better is 9.5 and Forever Boy is 8.5)
    Thinking Bout You 10/10(love the production and the vocal)
    She really has the potential to be a diva and create a wonderful album. Although Sweetener is not good enough, Thank u, next will be wonderful.    … Expand

Em Dangerous Woman, o seu terceiro álbum em apenas três anos, Ariana atinge a sua maturidade artística com uma coleção, quase, perfeita da mais fina mistura de pop/R&B.

    Ainda é difícil acreditar que aquele jovem cantora/atriz que ficou conhecida devido a sua participação em uma série voltada ao público teen poderia se tornar em tão pouco tempo um dos maiores nomes do pop mundial. Acontece que Ariana trilhou um caminho impressionante: primeiro, veio o surpreendente muito bom debut Yours Truly em que "imitava" grandes nomes da música, logo em seguida a cantora se solidifica com a modernização da sua sonoridade com o bom My Everything e agora comprova o seu talento e evolução com essa perola pop chamada Dangerous Woman. A equação para esse resultado é até simples, mas extremamente complicada de se colocar em prática: a união do talento de Ariana com um excepcional gerenciamento de carreira. Tudo isso é visto nitidamente no novo trabalho e é o que dá o tom ao álbum.

    Em um ano com vários álbuns conceituais, Dangerous Woman segue a linha do bom velho álbum pop com faixas feitas para virarem singles e outras que estão lá apenas para "preencher" espaço. Todavia, não acredite que isso seja uma qualidade menor, pois a construção do álbum é um dos seus grandes triunfos. Existe uma fluência desde a primeira faixa até as últimas das versões especiais que transforma Dangerous Woman uma experiência agradável e cativante de se ouvir. Além disso, a produção acerta em continuar a investir na sonoridade que vem consagrando Ariana, mas com algumas adições importantes que fazem a total diferença na evolução da cantora.

    Nas mãos de relativamente poucos produtores, entre eles Max Martin, Dangerous Woman torna-se uma coleção certeira de faixas pop/R&B que trafegam entre as influências mais antigas e as contemporâneas de maneira sutil e harmônica. A atmosfera do trabalho resulta, então, em uma estética elegante, sexy sem ser vulgar e com batidas refinadas e de um amadurecimento gigantesco, mostrando o atual momento na vida de Ariana. Não imagine que por ser um álbum comercial Dangerous Woman irá conter músicas com acabamentos feitos apenas para ter apelo de vendas, pelo contrário, pois, além do cuidado visível com a instrumentalização, existe a preocupação em criar uma identidade para cada faixa. Flertando com reggae, gospel, hip hop e vários estilos de música eletrônica, a produção buscou entregar experiências novas para a sonoridade da cantora sem perder de vista o caminho percorrido pela cantora. As escolhas feitas para incrementar o álbum são outro fator de elogios.

    Ao total são quatro colaborações em Dangerous Woman e todas delas funcionam perfeitamente, apesar de não terem a mesma qualidade individual. Ao lado do rapper Future, Ariana entrega a sombria e sexy R&B/hip hop com toques de eletrônico Everyday. Em Let Me Love You, a surpresa fica por conta do R&B contemporâneo Let Me Love You com a presença de Lil Wayne que, apesar de continuar com todos os seus "tiques" irritantes, funciona muito bem. Agora, os outros momentos são dois dos melhores momentos do álbum: Side to Side com a Nicki Minaj e Leave Me Lonely com Macy Gray. Na terceira parceria com a rapper, Ariana entrega uma deliciosa mistura de pop com reggae que quebra expectativas com as escolhas inusitadas como, por exemplo, Ariana se mostrando mais sexual e Nicki não fazendo apenas um verso rap no meio, mas, na verdade, cantar uma parte da canção. Em Leave Me Lonely, uma poderosa e dramática soul music em que a participação marcante de Macy ajuda a criar uma canção avassaladora. Outra escolha importante é não dar Ariana uma "baladona" simplesmente para ela mostrar o seu poder vocal. A cantora pode fazer isso de outras maneiras como, por exemplo, mostrando a sua versatilidade em várias faixas. E nesse quesito, Ariana continua a ser a melhore cantora jovem da atualidade.

    Ao saber usar todo o seu poder vocal nos momentos certos, Ariana abre portas para explorar todas as nuances que a sua voz possui. Em Dangerous Woman, a cantora encarna uma mulher poderosa que, dona de si, sensual e, principalmente, completamente ciente do seu instrumento e como usa-lo seja ao mostrar o seu lado delicado ou nos que precisam de todo o seu alcance vocal. Essa vibe de empoderamento feminino é uma das temáticas do álbum que contém as melhores letras da carreira da cantora, refletindo o momento da cantora sem perder o apelo radiofônico. O exemplo de tudo é uma faixa que, não apenas se transformou na melhor da carreira de Ariana, mas, até o momento, uma das melhores de 2016: a genial dance pop Into You que merece se transformar no sucesso do ano. Além das faixas já citadas outros momentos de destaque do álbum são o single homônimo Dangerous Woman, a soul/eletrônica Be Alright, a divertida Greedy e o seu toque de anos noventa, a pop Touch It, a dois em uma Knew Better/Forever Boy com um recado claro para algum ex-namorado e a "old school" Jason's Song (Gave It Away). Dangerous Woman ajuda a transformar Ariana Grande na artista que ela prometeu ser quando surgiu e vai além ao a colocar com uma das maiores forças femininas do pop. E isso tudo em apenas três anos.    … Expand

    Desde que se lançou mundialmente no seu ''Yours Turly'' de 2013, Ariana Grande, que então flertava com R&B e soul music, recebia comparações com grandes vocalistas contemporâneas como Mariah Carey e Christina Aguilera.

    No seu 3º álbum de estúdio, ''Dangerous Woman'', Grande permanece dentro do terreno bem sucedido do ''My Everything'' lançado há 2 anos atrás, em 2014, onde ela flerta ainda com os vestígios de R&B do primeiro disco, mas com muito mais faixas de distintos gêneros e uma nova persona pop de Britney Spears. Seguindo rumo contrário ao de Beyoncé com seu ''Lemonade'' ou ''Anti'' da barbadiana Rihanna, onde as artistas optaram por trazer álbuns polidamente conceituais, Ariana faz aquele tradicional pop de tocar nas rádios e enjoar. Mas o que a permite, que aqui se prova uma artista versátil, é que o álbum convence e traz uma enxurrada de boas faixas e potenciais hits.
    O álbum começa muito bem, com faixas como ''Moonlight'', ''Be Alright'' e a ótima e diferente ''Leave Me Lonely'' que conta com a participação de Macy Gray, mas o brilho do disco se perde da metade pro fim.
    Ariana ainda não é perigosa, mas ''Dangerous Woman'' serve pra marcar a moça em uma fase de construção efetiva de uma personalidade musical, personalidade essa que já era conquistada em ''My Everything'', mas aqui o diferencial é que a artista não fica dividida entre ser madura e inexperta, aqui ela tem certeza e tem desejos. Os seus passos são curtos, porém firmes.

    Dangerous Woman is Grande's finest album to date. After trying with different sounds in her previous album, Grande maybe found what her sound is. With a 90's vibe and R&B sounds that may remind someone to Mariah Carey, this album shows what Grande can do.

    This album is near perfect. Where as My Everything was an unfocused (but still good) pop record, Grande picks up where she left off from her debut, but with more progression in her sound, maturity and confidence. And of course, that voice of hers is pitch perfect as usual. It's a must listen for sure!

    Ariana Grande has obviously grown since her previous album. This album shows a lot of maturity and artistic growth, wit many catchy hits provided. Although it may not have the same irresistible as My Everything, it still by far surpasses it. Best Songs: DW, Into You, Side to Side, Greedy, Bad Decisions. Worst Songs: Let Me Love You, Leave Me Lonely

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is clearly one of the best albums of 2016, if not the best. It features different sounds and genres in each song, but all are connected with each other. It feels way more mature than every album Ariana has released.

    "Moonlight" is a sweet, feminine ballad and makes up for a great intro. But everything changes when "Dnagerous Woman" comes up. This empowering song justify the album's title; it feels dangerous. After the danger, "Be Alright" comes up and makes us relax, with it's house sounds. "Into You" follows up and with its production, it makes us want to dance non-stop to its beat. Definitely the best song on the album. At least this is what I was thinking of it, until "Side To Side" featuring Nicki Minaj came up. This song features a reggae sound which makes us want to move our head from side to side! A bop! "Let Me Love You" featuring Lil Wayne is a cool song, that works as an intermission from the dance beats. But this won't last too long, because "Greedy" is the next song. A dance-pop track, coming from the late 80's, with a catchy, but unfortunately a little boring, beat is what we need now! With "Leave Me Lonely" featuring Macy Grey, Ariana gives us a taste of what her voice can do and she delivers. "Everyday" featuring Future is a really cool song, but for some ears, the sound might seem a little "hard". For me is pure perfection! "Sometimes" follows up, a nice produced ballad that makes us want to fall asleep, even though if we listen to it a couple of times it may become our favorite. "I Don't Care" seems like a song that the album could have done without it. It's a ballad that is not catchy and boring. With "Bad Decisions" we get to know the **** version of Ariana and it actually is really impressing! "Touch It" features a really mature and different sound, that by the time I heard it, I wondered why this was not selected as the lead single of the album! Definitely worth listening. "Knew Better / Forever Boy" is a really gorgeous track, but I would rather they were two different songs. In order to close this era, Ariana chose "Thinking Bout You" a sweet vocal perfection, that really makes us hungry for new music!

    In a nutshell, "Dangerous Woman" is the best album Ariana has ever put out. Strong enough but yet not out of point, it is a perfection. Worth Buying.    … Expand

    This album is a bomb compared to its predecessor, everything that My Everything tried to be is better and more confident on Dangerous Woman, this multi-genre pop album with some electro-nuances is a phenomenal comeback.

    Truly great pop album. Between the genius of Max Martin and the vocal abilities of Ariana, this is definitely worth checking out. I recommend the following tracks:

    Dangerous Woman
    Into You
    Touch It
    Leave Me Lonely
    Moonlight
    Greedy

    Ariana shows a high level of her voice with not boring rhythms and exotic lyrics with great collaborations. She's amazing!
    "Dangerous Woman" is sexier and edgier. You can listen to it from start to finish and not get bored at a single track.

    This is her best album so far. We could see the feminine and adulthood her music become. Of all the pop album released this year, hers is one of the most catchy and must listen. She needs more power on her voice though.

    My Top 3;
    1. Leave Me Lonely
    2. Into You
    3. Side to Side

    En Dangerous Woman he escuchadoa una Ariana Grande que desde luego ha avanzado desde aquel irregular y delicado My Everything, y por supuesto estoy delante de uno de los mejores álbumes de pop que he escuchado: variedad de sonidos, sin relleno, buena producción ... pero a pesar de todo Ari sigue siendo ella, y eso es lo que hace a su nuevo álbum un producto sobresaliente.

    Absolutely AMAZING. Ariana has outdone herself. She learned from her mistakes in My Everything and it shows. With songs like Touch It, Into You, Greedy, Thinking Bout You, and even the title track, this album is gonna hard one for her to top (looks at AG4). Really hope Ariana keeps the same style for the upcoming album. Hands down the best ex-act to date.

    Ariana Grande is one of the greatest singers currently. She sings with ease, there are no songs that we speak: "the worst, the best". The album Dangerous Woman is the certainty of what I say. The songs are perfect. From Moonlight to Thinking Bout You (the best of them all). I'm waiting for the next album!

    This album is SO on point. From vocals, production, lyrics to everything else. It is one of the best pop albums of the decade. Every second of it is pretty enjoyable, there are no "really bad" songs either. Despite lacking cohesiveness (the tracklist is kinda all over the place), the album promises a journey that you'll never want to finish. The deluxe edition tracks make it even better!

    These songs [“Greedy,” “Into You” and “Touch It”], which unite a strong persona--haughty, insatiable, a little manic, really into you--with a vivid pocket version of one style or another, are the core of a swift, heedless pop album, albeit one struggling to emerge from the false notes (“Dangerous Woman”) and rote 2016 obligations (Future) of what’s probably an executive-mandated bagginess.
