    Ariana’s debut album is a good starts in a big career, the way the vocals perfectly fits with the magical harmonies and the instrumentals, it’s beautiful. Sometimes in this album you’ll get kinda bored but in next second a high note or a orchestra moment hits you and prove it that yours truly it’s amazing.

Managing to effectively merge the R&B sound of the '90s with the pop of the 2010s thanks to an accurate choice of producers, Grande is able to transport us into the past: the comparison with Mariah Carey is inevitable. With '50s doo-woop influences, the record is cohesive and sonically attentive to detail. Grande's voice goes hand in hand with the sweet and dreamy atmosphere of the tracks; also the textual composition turns out to be of a good level, even if often missing a strong and distinct appeal. Yours Truly is a successful and effective project, capable of portraying Grande as the new promise of contemporary R&B and one of the best debuting vocalists.… Expand

    Es interesante e increible ver la capacidad vocal de Grande al igual de como en este album se inspiro en su actual idola Mariah Carey, sin embargo, siento que no hay una cohesion aqui, Ariana deberia de considerar tener una cohesion, como seguir una historia, Pero muy buen trabajo.

    A fantastic debut album for a fresh new artist. She has the voice and it's all she needs. You'll Never Know, Tattooed Heart and Daydreamin' are the best songs while Piano, Popular Song (song by Mika where she's featured) and Better Left Unsaid are the weak points. The weakest point of the album is without a doubt the sound, almost every song sounds the same and it can get boring in a few listens.

    Ariana Grande's debut album is unexpectedly amazing. The 90's pop/R&B vibe on it with her angelical voice made this album a big standout. "Yours Truly" it's just like a Mariah Carey album when she used to made great albuns.

    Yours Truly is a pleasurable experience: like seeing someone you've known for years in the street, or going to a birthday party like the ones you had as a kid, but with the exclusion of your drunk aunty.

However, after a few days, do you still fervently recall it? The party? The friend? Be honest; you wouldn't. That exactly sums up my feelings towards Yours Truly, a confident, well-produced throwback to 90's R&B with a little bit of doo-wop thrown into the mix for good measure. Whilst there's a few standout songs there (The Way, Baby I, Piano), the rest are agreeable, but nothing special, album fillers. However, there's an immense amount of heart and soul in there: the fact that Grande and her producers have been tweaking and singing and writing the songs as if their very lives depended on it is very prevalent. It left us expecting a great sophomore album. That didn't necessarily happen, the heart and soul replaced with a newly found corporate sheen and the R&B rhythms gone, and EDM beats instead sitting in its place. Ariana Grande has a fantastic voice, but both her first and second albums didn't reach their full potential. Here's hoping third time lucky, but now she's a stratospheric pop princess with worldwide hits like Problem or Break Free, corporate moguls who like to suck the life out of everything may prevail.… Expand

    Ariana's irresistible and heavenly sweet voice makes you forget the songwriting's crap to the ears and brain. But only for awhile. Anyhow, it's hard to complain about Ariana, since this her debut. But who knows? Her potential is simply unmatched, and we need a producer and a songwriter to harvest and use that.

    Spectacularly catchy songs are the content of Ariana's debut, and the production is also top-notch albeit sometimes a tad bit too sweet and sugary. Grande's vocals are great and elevates her horrible lyricism into a more listenable state.

    This album is worth a purchase if you don't mind Ariana's terrible lyricism.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i have to say that if you compare my everything and dangerous woman to this album you will see how much Ariana had grown. I have to admit that this album is my least favorite out of all her albums. The songs are ok and well written . I have to give it to her for those amazing vocals of hers. I am happy that she is growing into a huge artist and that her first album did quite well with the charts and also sales.

    "Yours Truly" was released 7 years ago today and started the career of Ariana Grande. This album was inspired by her idols such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera and was meant to be a throwback to 90s R&B. The album opens with "Honeymoon Avenue" which has a nice intro and the song's entire production still sounds very fresh. Its outro was very unnecessary though.

    The album's second single "Baby I" is a very smooth mid-tempo R&B song. I love the horns in the background. Its chorus is a shameless rip-off of Mariah Carey's "Secret Love".
    "Tattooed Heart" has a doo-wop sound and is simply a beautiful ballad. Her vocals are incredible on this one. "Daydreamin‘" is another great song that has a very nice melody in my opinion. The album's lead single "The Way" featuring Mac Miller still sounds fresh today and I remember being obsessed with it when it was released. Also her high notes towards the end of the song are incredible. "Almost Is Never Enough" featuring Nathan Skyes is a beautiful piano ballad with great lyrics. It reminds me a lot of Whitney Houston. "Popular Song" featuring Mika is my guilty pleasure. It doesn’t fit on this album but it’s just a very fun pop tune to be honest. Of course the album has its weaknesses. "Piano" sounds very dated and messy. "Lovin' It" is a terrible song and in my opinion one of the worst songs of Ariana's entire discography. The album's final track "Better Left Unsaid" doesn’t fit on this album...at all. It has a very VERY dated dance pop sound. Overall I think that "Yours Truly" is a solid debut album. I love its uniqueness. Which other 20 year old act, especially one that is tied to a Nickelodeon show, releases a debut album that pays tribute to 90s R&B? Especially in 2013 where EDM and dance pop where popular and done by literally everyone. This album definitely stood out and many of its songs still sound fresh today. Of course it has its weakness, its songs are not as strong as album tracks from "Dangerous Woman" or "thank u, next" but the debut is rarely ever an artist’s strongest work. And it’s still miles ahead of "Sweetener" lol.

    It is one of the best works performed by a new artist and its release. The sound is good, but sins in its exaggerated vocals and something that sounds commercial. Songsas stay in your head but don't become saturated, but good to sing. You can be sure with a well-rated debut album like that, something better comes in a few years.

    For some time, I have heard of rivalries between Taylor Swift--whose music I have loved--and Ariana Grande, whom I have not listened to extensively. Because of this, I decided to listen to Grande’s music to really be able to compare the two. After just one album, I cannot do anything because that’s just not enough to base comparisons on. However, I did find that Yours Truly, Ariana Grande’s first album, only beats one of Swift’s albums: the notorious “reputation”, which I gave a score of 2.18, as it suffers from extensive use of generic drum kits and synths and the lyric quality deterioration (they had been so powerful in previous Taylor Swift albums). Now, back to Grande. Yours Truly suffers from the same musicality issue but puts autotune into the mix, which I am not a fan of. Despite this, Grande is able to make upbeat music that does a fair job of disguising these commonalities, so this issue isn’t a big deal for most of the songs in this album. Specifically, I thought Popular Song was amazing, as I love the musical “Wicked” and I was thrilled that they made a real song out of the musical’s version, and other songs like Piano and Better Left Unsaid were great as well. That being said, I did have a bit of a problem with Right There. Right There simply uses too much autotune and has some weird rap riff thing that I wasn’t a fan of, plus it uses some annoying drums. Besides some other minor issues, I had a pretty good time listening to what Ariana Grande had to offer, and I look forward to hearing more of her stuff. Highlights: Honeymoon Avenue, Tattooed Heart, Piano, Popular Song, and Better Left Unsaid.    … Expand

    Lixo de álbum
    Péssimo, péssimo, péssimo. Sem sombra de dúvidas é um dos piores álbuns que já ouvi. Lembras bobas e infantis, sem conceito, nada de importante pra história.

    Such a bad album. Most of the song is trash. So basic and regular nothing special.

    Not a fan of the result of all the collaborations or the music she puts out, all just pandering to the trend of hip hop-pop combination taking over the charts.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most boring albums i've ever listened. That’s why we are in pandemic.… Expand

    I wanted to like this and have it be more than just generic pop music but i don't and it isn't.

    It all feels like a second hand Mariah Carey attempt. Making a ton of collaborations doesn't give you credibility, originality and imagination does.

    This album is not good. This album is not perfect, not good, not quality.

    Yours Truly is more tempered and less likely to put you in a beaming state of catatonia.

    A relatively safe debut where much of the takeaway is the salivating at Grande’s potential.

    Yours Truly is a very safe record. Mostly written by two of R&B's most mawkish hawkers, Babyface and Harmony Samuels, it’s built on cliché and tradition, and written professionally to a fault.
