Sep 23, 2014The metallic fingerprint of Auto-Tune is all over My Everything, even the vocal trills that start off the album.
-
Aug 29, 2014What leaves an impression is Grande herself, deeply cheerful yet with guns blazing, an innocent newcomer no more.
-
Aug 29, 2014Yours Truly kept you singing until the moon shined and My Everything will make you want to dance until the sun comes up.
-
Aug 29, 2014Turns out, so-called mini-Mariah can hold her own in 2014; and while the best songs here may not be timeless, they certainly feel right for right now.
-
Aug 26, 2014It's a confident, intelligent, brazen pop statement, mixing bubblegum diva vocals with EDM break beats.
-
Aug 25, 2014For her second album, My Everything, Grande has picked a set of songs so lyrically bland, sonically inoffensive, and artistically empty that they produce a zero-impact experience--musical vanilla fro-yo poured directly into your ears. It's by no means painful; there are even moments of fun.
-
Aug 25, 2014Despite its shortcomings, My Everything succeeds in its primary objective. This is a pop record, clear and simple.
-
Aug 25, 2014As a result, My Everything is a less cohesive project than Yours Truly, although its best moments eclipse the highs of Grande's 2013 debut.
-
Aug 25, 2014Perhaps Grande doesn't embody the songs the way an old-fashioned diva would, but she functions as a likeable pop ringleader, stepping aside when the track calls for it and then unleashing a full-throated wail when it's her time to shine.
