    Most of the songs are well-produced and stand out but the track list is a damn mess. It really ruins the flow of the album and it just feels like a grab-bag of random singles.

    It seems promising at first, but even before the half I already had enough, the course she takes turns out to be no personality and predictable. Despite the great voice, she can not convey feeling, and ends making everything too generic and forgettable.

    My Everything, is exactly what you can expect; though not as strong as her previous album, Grande's vocals still over weigh the flaws that come along.

    some of her songs are ok but she is acting WAY too sexual for her age, she looks like she's 16 so it makes people think that she is very trashy and that's not good but she can sing and that's good.

    Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande's sophomore effort ultimately takes a different approach than what her debut album did, predictably. However, that might not be the greatest thing.

However, that might not be the greatest thing. Her R&B roots are assassinated in favour of commercial pop and EDM dance tracks and while those songs are catchy, and it is appreciated she decided to try some new genres and mix it up, they lack substance, as seen in lead single and smash hit Problem. That is where My Everything fails. In its attempts to escape Grande's childrens TV star beginnings, she has taken a try-hard approach to mature sexiness, and while Grande is attractive, it does ruin whatever she had really going for her.

    Still, there are some good tracks in here (e.g Break Your Heart Right Back, Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart , which is Harry-Styles-penned, and You Don't Know Me), and Grande's vocals are at times flawless. Overall, the album is quite manufactured and generic, but it does serve as a great companion to her recent ascent to pop princess. Not really the best, but some of the songs are worth a glance, at least.

Unlike Yours Truly Grande falls flat on My Everything. I felt like her producers were pushing and pulling her all over this album. In one song Grande can melt your heart with her angelic vocals and another song she puts you to sleep with an R&B influenced tracks that sounds highly unoriginal. My Everything relies more on having featured artists although most tracks off the album with featured artists (Big Sean, Cashmere Cat, A$AP Ferg) are all tracks that are not even worth downloading. Out of the 17 tracks off the album I only enjoyed 8. My Everything could have been something beautiful and poppy if Grande would have made the album an EP. It's hard to just forget some of the mess up's that My Everything carries on it's shoulders. My Everything has a lot of great songs and a lot of not so good songs.

    How Yours Truly sounds like the sincere successor instead of vice versa confuses me, to go from nostalgic '90s vintage R&B to Max Martin-produced dance-pop and soggy ballads that literally could've came from the studio session of a One Direction album—Harry Styles co-penned "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart".

If My Everything truly is Ariana Grande's 'everything', I'm worried for her upcoming efforts. Nothing ever rivals the amount of momentum carried by lead single "Problem" or "Bang Bang". Even with collaborators like Childish Gambino, The Weeknd, or Grande's own alleged boy toy Big Sean don't give My Everything enough energy to fool any listener that's not an 'Arianator' into believing it's a remotely solid record. And any good idea—"Break Your Heart Right Back" samples B.I.G.'s sample of Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out", cool—feels half-baked. Grande's technical vocal chops are on display, now let's show some substance. Expand

Logo após ela lança "Break Free" como segundo single, outro hit. Algo que me surpreendeu foi os estilos diferentes entre os dois singles, pessoalmente achei que ela viria com um cd bem eclético, minhas expectativas aumentaram mais ainda quando ela apareceu em "Bang Bang" com a Jessie J e a Nicki Minaj, porém depois que o álbum foi lançado percebi que Grande ainda continua com suas incríveis combinações de elementos R&B/Rap e POP, algo bom. Mas fora isso, a mesma não se reinventou totalmente, nada surpreendente comparado ao 1º cd. Liricamente, Ariana continua a cantar lovesongs, Instrumentalmente algo bom, bem amigável ao rádio, Vocalmente Grande ainda surpreende, cantora potente, mas a mesma, falha ao dar uma "nova personalidade" ao público mainstream, se isso é ruim ou não, só o tempo dirá.

    I was not a fan of ariana before and i still aint because her music videos all contain mature content which is unrelated and irrelevan to her lyrics. Her voice sounds hoarse live although her records record a wholesome and pure voice.

    Following the release of Yours Truly, I was a big fan of not just the album, but Ariana as a singer and person. It seems, as she has gotten more popular, she has simultaneously become more mainstream in the way she acts and makes music.

    Gone is the lush live instrumentation, the simple sound driven by her powerful vocals. Gone are the flowery dresses and Nickelodeon shows and live streams. Ariana is now as poppy as Selena Gomez, as unclothed as Iggy Azalea or Miley Cyrus, and rarely goes beyond "Im so excited" in terms of interview depth.

    Sigh. Still, even for a typical mainstream pop album, her vocals manage to keep it interesting. Not bad, but she could have done better. She is conforming, and Im not a fan.

    Ariana's debut album, Yours Truly is still one of my most cherised albums. However, this album has gone too mainstream and Ariana's unique voice is beginning to fade due to the direction she's taking as it shows on the album. The album lacks originality and due to that, it just becomes another pop album.

    She's mastered pure pop, now she just needs to put meaning into her songs. While a few of these songs may be quite infectious, once you listen to the album as a whole, you see that each beat sounds very similar to each other. She has tremendous potential, however she does not showcase it very well in this album.

    This is a less cohesive project, she's trying to do so many things all the time, it happens to be a failure by the second half of the album. Despite her great voice and exploring new sounds, this album is just "meh".

    There's some really good pop hits on here and Ariana's features always step up. As always, excellent vocals. Still, a major negative plaguing the album is the typical cash-grab philosophy that the vast majority of pop adheres to.

    My Everything, Ariana Grande’s second album, is a follow up to Yours Truly, released less than a year after her successful debut. I was excited to listen to My Everything, as I had enjoyed a lot of Grande’s first album, though I will admit that I was disappointed by this album. It’s not horrible, I guess, but it’s not a masterpiece, either. My Everything mixes stunning songs that almost make me cry with generic current hip hop that contains a significant amount of adult content. It’s a shame how a lot of current music is like that in this day and age. My Everything begins with Intro, which is just what the title implies. It is short and sweet, at 1:20, but it packs in a lot of opens up the album effectively with good lyrics accompanied by calm music; I really enjoyed its piano. I reacted to Problem in a similar way that I would have reacted to a better version of Taylor Swift’s song Look What You Made Me Do. I really liked the music in the verses (the horn riff was awesome), but it really deteriorated in the chorus, with the very odd whisper-singing. One Last Time was great, I really loved its lyrics, as well as its fun and catchy music (the guitar riffs that followed the melody were superb). Why Try was another good song. Its music was pretty good (there was a little bit of low profile electronic drums, but besides that it was okay) and its lyrics were great. I had mixed feelings about Break Free. On one hand, this is an upbeat song that is really hyped up. On the other hand, some parts of this song are just flat out weird, like the ending. The parts I did like I loved though. Best Mistake was ruined by its use of an annoying electronic snare drum that was really unnecessary, as the song would have been better if the piano used was the only instrument. Be My Baby had somewhat weak lyrics, but its music was better than that of Best Mistake. I enjoyed the story created by Break Your Heart Right Back along with its absolutely wonderful lyrics, and I loved most of the things that made up the music. Its bassline and electric guitar riffs were top notch, but the electronic drum kit it used was distracting. Love Me Harder was fantastic, as it had really upbeat music, and I loved its outstanding lyrics and message. It might have been a little repetitive but the music was good enough that this issue didn’t matter. Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart was amazing because it had very powerful lyrics, it was overflowing with emotion, and the piano and strings worked really well together. I was so happy with Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart that I wasn’t prepared for the shock that Hands On Me would bring. This was an awful song that was overly sexualized and had mediocre music: a recipe for a bad score. The titular track contained a lot of power and emotion in its lyrics, which was amazing, and adding to this power was how it explored the very relatable subject of loving someone who doesn’t love you back. I felt “eh” about Bang Bang. I liked the upbeatness behind it, as well as the real instruments that were used, though I feel like this song’s lyrics were too adult for a mainstream radio song, and something about it was just annoying. Only 1 was noticeably autotuned, which is too much in my eyes. Besides that, I really enjoyed the music, but the lyrics were just okay, along with being a little repetitive. You Don’t Know Me was super electronic, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in this case there was lots of autotune and the lyrics were a little hard to understand. The acoustic guitar was kinda fun though, and I liked the message behind this song. I just think that this was an interesting choice to end on this song, as I think a song like My Everything would have been a better closer. Overall, I had mixed feelings about My Everything, since there are two really great songs, a few meh songs, and everything in between. Fans of current music should like this album, as perhaps will some lovers of pop, but it’s hard to say about other people. I am excited to listen to more of Ariana Grande’s stuff, though the 1.5 point drop over the time span of one album is interesting and hopefully this trend does not continue. Highlights: One Last Time, Love Me Harder, and Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart.

Nie obyło się bez prymitywnych radiowych zapychaczy typu "Problem", "Best Mistake" czy "Bang Bang" w wersji deluxe, ale te udane piosenki są naprawdę DOBRE. Rewelacyjnie wyśpiewane ballady "Why Try" czy "Just a Little Bit of your Heart", taneczne i pełne energii "Break Free" no i najlepsza piosenka Ariany jaką słyszałem do tej pory, czyli "One Last Time". Gościnne występy The Weeknd czy Ch. Gambino może nie wnoszą wiele, ale to ciekawe pozycje w katalogu Ariany. Expand

    "My Everything" is the album that pushed Ariana Grande to a bigger place than she was before. We can't deny the pop hits this album produced. However, those hits were generic and forgettable. The project has really good songs but really bad songs too. I will stay with the ballads and "Love Me Harder".

    It's not an album that would catch me as many times as I listen. But it's a basic and average album. Ariana seems to be testing new sounds, and sounds and maybe it will make her risk and sin at many points. I missed compositions that touches my heart and productions totally well made for something that burst on charts. In the future something much better may come.

The more commercial imprint of the record is immediately evident: Grande is now a pop star in all respects. Despite Grande's good versatility in knowing how to sing different styles with a surprising voice to say the least, the album lacks such a cohesion as to outline a precise sound line. The tracklist is not compact and lacks a unifying theme. However, the positive development of the singer both vocally and lyrically is immediately evident, although some exceptions denote an artistic personality not yet fully developed.
    Overall, My Everything is a sufficient level record, whose main purpose seems to be to place Grande within the commercial competition of the pop music industry. Nonetheless, it doesn’t fully represent Grande’s talent and artistic potential.
