    With great sounds like R & B or trap, Ariana in these songs tells us the darkest moment of her life.
    She brought us what "Sweetener" did not do. A great album and without doubt one or the best of her career.

    Thank U, Next indeed. Sweetener was absolutely dire and the fact that it won Pop Vocal Album at the 2019 Grammys over Reputation is shocking. However, I am expecting big things with this album. Ariana is back to making music that shows off her vocals. The album has a hip-hop R&B vibe to it sort of like 'Dangerous Woman'. Of course none of her albums will top that one but comparing it toThank U, Next indeed.

In contrast songs like bad idea, needy, imagine and break up with your girlfriend are amazing along with the title track. Well done Ariana, this is what we want!… Expand

    Melhor álbum da carreira da Ariana Grande. Um álbum com batidas poderosas e obscuras, mas ao mesmo tempo cheias de luz. Até que enfim um álbum melhor que o famigerado "Dangerous Woman".

    Her most ambitious and cohesive album to date. An incorporation of hodgepodge of music genres ranging from hip-hop/trap, R&B, bubblegum pop, rock, classical and ballad. Every song is amazing on its own and had amazing chops and breakdowns. She finally found her sound and style.

    This album is just perfect. After Sweetener, I did not think that this album was so well produced, it shows the dedication that Ariana and her team had in the creation and adhesion of this. Each song has something special, the Album tells you a story. The darkest part of Ariana. A vulnerable Ariana that tries to leave after all the **** she has gone through. It is beautiful and deep. Perfect.

    This album is brilliant. Her second best album after Dangerous Woman in my opinion. A major improvement over Sweetener now that Pharrell is gone.

    The album starts out with a pop/r&b ballad called Imagine that I was not fond of when it first came out, but it grew on me now I love it. My favourite songs are Fake Smile, Bloodline, Ghostin and Bad Idea. The whole album is just so amazing.    This album is brilliant. Her second best album after Dangerous Woman in my opinion.

    The year did not even begin right and American singer Ariana Grande released her fifth studio album called Thank u, next. An album full of confident lyrics and empowered, left of different beats and sounds ... like Trap, R & B, etc ... TUN (Thank u, next) is a masterpiece and she was successful in releasing this album after conquering her two # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    It may sometimes feel like there are too much yuh’s or that the track’s production isn’t good, but overall it is an interesting, fun album. Best songs: 7 rings, buwygib, make up and bloodline.

    The album is simply stunning. The production and its due compositions are invincible, Ariana has evolved in a way to see and to be proud. You listening to the album interacts with the songs and there are some tiresome pauses that you have in other pop albums. Amazing!

    Hermoso álbum, me encanta toda esa luz que dijo que le metería, ya que son canciones con un fondo triste y ella hizo la manera perfecta de que este álbum sea genial. Felicidades Ari❤️

    This album is literally her best, most genuine, vulnerable yet confident body of work she's ever released and I love it! It's beautiful both sonically and lyrically. Love the direction she's going in. It wildly exceeded my deepest expectations. No song deserves to be skipped. Every single one tells a story and it's visible that with this project Ariana has something to say as befits a trueThis album is literally her best, most genuine, vulnerable yet confident body of work she's ever released and I love it! It's beautiful both sonically and lyrically. Love the direction she's going in. It wildly exceeded my deepest expectations. No song deserves to be skipped. Every single one tells a story and it's visible that with this project Ariana has something to say as befits a true artist and a huge pop star that she is. I love the fact that she's been exploring her sound and trying to find what suits her best and that's she's left all these cute pop songs she used to make to focus on more mature ones in which she's covering the subjects she's passionate about and she wants to talk about without being afraid of what would people think. That's how you know somebody is a true artist and a star. With that being said, Ariana Grande is undoubtedly at the peak of her game and she doesn't seem to change it. Amazing job! Congratulations!… Expand

    Well, this one better than Sweetener and Dangerous Woman. I like the atmosphere on it. You can smile, laugh, and cry at the same time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hare una breve critica a cada cancion desde mi punto de vista

    1. IMAGINE._ Abrimos el album con el single promocional, una balada mid-tiempo haciendo referencia a Mac y destacando la voz por encima del instrumental.

    2. NEEDY._ Aun recuerdo que el titulo dejo cautivados a muchos y la esperaban con muchas ansias, lamentablemente fue lo contrario cuando la escuchamos; pues es otra balada mid-tiempo con influencias R&B, repetitiva tanto la lirica como el ritmo.

    3. NASA._ Este es el pop que hacia tanta falta! Es fresca, es divertida, es pegadiza y sobre todo la letra es tan hermosa: "Yo seria el universo y tu mi NASA". Personalmente es mi favorita del album.

    4. BLOODLINE._ Side To Side y 7 Rings tuvieron un hijo y lo llamaron Bloodline, los sax en el trasfondo resaltan mucho sin atosigar. La canción sera single si o si, promete ser un himno del verano.

    5. FAKE SMILE._ Tomando un viaje por el tiempo nos remonta a la epoca de My Everything, una balada con un coro electrizante y de sorpresa mete una pequeña estrofa rapeada la cual es imposible olvidarla.

    6. BAD IDEA._ Girando la perilla drasticamente al genero urbano nos topamos con Bad Idea. Tiene un ritmo vibrante y va totalmente acorde al album, siendo una de las favoritas.Lastimosamente la era pretende ser corta, de lo contrario seria single seguro.

    7. MAKE UP._.....thank u, next. No, no es que sea mala pero no destaca del resto del album, es una mezcla de sonidos dulces con un trap improvisado el cual no logra convencer a la primer reproducida.

    8. GHOSTIN._ Estaba esperando este momento, llegar a la balada sin depender de algun ritmo en particular, solo relajarnos con un fondo muy sutil mientras disfrutamos la voz de Ariana la cual es la protagonista en esta hermosa cancion.

    9. IN MY HEAD._ Neutral, la canción se pierde si es la primera vez que la escuchas no pretende ser recordada por su coro, por su instrumental o por su letra, es tan solo meh...

    10. 7 RINGS._ El segundo single del album con influencias R&B, trap y hip-hop, no hay mucho que decir, su objetivo era ser exito y lo consiguio. ¿Quien no ha verseado "I want it, i got it"?

    11. THANK U, NEXT._ Lead single, primer #1 en la carrera de Grande era imposible no conseguirlo. Pop fresco, pop moderno y el mismo nombre que lleva la quinta era.

    12. BREAK UP, WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, I'M BORED._ Normalmente me gusta despedir un album con alguna balada, con alguna canción muy personal, sin embargo esta vez difiero pues si nos basamos en el tracklist empezamos agradeciendole a un amor y terminamos convertidos en un corazon frio despues de todo el viaje que tuvimos en el disco, antes llorabamos por un ex, ahora nosotros mandamos.

    RESUMEN: El album como mencione tiene un proposito y lo cumple mientras lo vamos escuchando, empoderarnos, subir nuestro ego y sentirnos inalcanzables. Las letras que acompañan las baladas rompen ese "femme fatale" y lo balancea perfectamente.
    Para ser un album que salio con tanta prisa he de decir que es ya de mis favoritos. Seas o no fan, alguna de estas canciones se te quedarán grabadas.

    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.
