    Ariana veio com o sweetener para inovar seu estilo e fez isso com maestria, o álbum é perfeito, muito bem produzido, sua voz demonstrou uma enorme evolução e vale muito a pena ouvir mais de uma vez, pq mesmo causando estranhamento no incio o álbum fica totalmente incrível após se acostumar ao novo estilo

    this is her best work for sure! the album is amazing and all the tracks fit perfect with the others. REM, Breathin, Everytime, No Tears Left To Cry, God is a woman, Blazed, Bordeline and Sweetener are masterpieces!

    Experimental. Different. Unique. Vocals are full and these songs have texture to them. The second listen is what solidifies the excellence of these songs. Bare with it, the vibes are hard to not enjoy.

    I loved Ariana's fourth album “ Sweetener” it’s so mature and full of new sounds for her. If you didn’t like her because she was “screaming” all the time well this is the album you might wanna hear. You can tell that this album was made to make people happy and not remind them about dark and sad days. Her best album yet. Buy it on iTunes and stream it on Spotify and Apple Music.

    Even if you don't like the production or set up of songs, her vocals and lyricism alone can carry this entire Album.Critically this is definitely her best album to date knowing what she wants out of this album, the nice transitions, the amazing adlibs blended with harmonies, and very new and unique sound from her.

    Many were waiting for a Break free 2.0 and an album full of bublegum pop bangers , but it's clear Ariana is over that. This album goes 100% personal , it's all about her and not about trying to follow trends. Most of Pharrell's productions work, they sound fresh , diffrerent. Others such as Blazed could have a more dynamic production and a stronger hook.

In Get Well soon Ariana show her soulful roots mixed with a jazzy production & Trap elements While she sings her best lyrics to date . However on Breathing, Everytime, No tears, God is a woman & Borderline (& low-key successful) Ariana sings the catchiest hooks surrounded by a wonderful production.
    This album is 100% non formulaic , personal , fresh and deserved to be her best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ariana has poured her heart and soul into this album, I've been a fan of her work for years and I'm impressed with how much she's grown. I know that this album is controversial and a lot of people don't vibe with the songs produced by Pharrell, which I understand. I absolutely loved the tribute to Manchester, I thought it was really touching. There are a few tracks on this album that stand off, which are her two main singles, get well soon, breathin, and everytime. The other ones are great as well, however, I don't like Pharrell's vocals in the background of sweetener. It's super annoying and over the top. Borderline was kinda boring. But Ariana's voice was great as always, just wish Pharrell didn't take over more than half of it. Overall, love this album! might be my second fave following Yours Truly… Expand

The best ones are obviously the 2 singles and Breathin (the best on from the album). Another great work from Ariana!

    Ariana has been known for her pop style but her R&B style was also what she was known for. She takes a chance to step into the R&B and somehow it actually worked. She creates songs that are soothing and meaningful yet some songs have a empowerment tone to it. Ariana has always been doubted for what she produces but this is one of her best works!

    Ariana Grande brings a new and experimental sound to her music, with many R&B elements, innovating away from her typical pop sound. She took a risk, and it paid off. A fantastic fourth album.

    One of her best albums, the lyrics are just perfect and it shows how she has grown from the Dangerous Woman era to now. That’s why it gave her a grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album and it’s her favorite album from her discography!

    Inovador! É bom do começo ao fim! Estranho aos ouvidos quando escutado pela primeira vez, mas depois se torna algo extremamente viciante, estou apaixonado!

    Best album yet by Miss Ariana, the only songs probably liked the least were the ones produced by Pharell, but Everytime and Better off are my absolute favorites. She experimented a bit and I think it worked very well!

    Grande’s new sound, the Williams-produced Not-Bangers, only make up half of the album. These standout tracks are interspersed between standard pop tracks. ... That’s not to say that the Bangers on Sweetener are bad--it’s more that they belong in previous era of Grande and they spoil the flow between songs. Sweetener may not be the dawning of a new age for Ariana but it could be a step towards somewhere weird and wonderful.

    Ms. Grande backs up her statements with song-and-dance mastery. ... She’s her own choir, support group and posse. While a few guest vocalists (Mr. Williams, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott) provide a little grit for contrast, Ms. Grande sails above any fray, past or present. Her aplomb is her triumph.

    An album that coheres in a way other Ariana Grande albums don't, which means Sweetener is something of a double triumph: she's come through a tough time stronger and better than before.
