    This is not an album, this is a masterpiece. Now that she’s worldwide famous, no one can accuse her of copying Mariah Carey like happened with Yours Truly. We don’t deserve this r&b masterpiece. This isn’t for us. This is just for her. I respect

    Ariana has matured a lot with her musical work! We can consider it an R&B masterpiece ... With a few hints of explicit lyrics and harmonies with his angel voice! Far from being a POP album, however, an album with a sincere vibe.

    An album where Ariana Grande shows that she can do well in Pop and R&B, Positions is an extremely cohesive album with Ariana's participation in the composition of all the songs, the sound is calmer but we can see that Ariana is confident with herself and her sensuality and uses it to inspire herself in the lyrics of these songs, this album literally saved 2020.

    For me this is her best album for sure, this is also a new style for her, maybe trying something new, I love the orchestra on some tracks, the violin and the trap beat were so beautiful on track 34 + 35, all the tracks are rich in detail

    This is a gentle and truly magical album that captured me from the first track and didn’t let go until the last one. My favorites are POV, off the table, my hair, safety net. From now on, this is one of the most beloved albums in Ariana’s career on a level with Dangerous Woman 10/10 Awesome

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After two emotionally striking eras, Ariana deserved the right to make this fantastic album. She clearly had fun making this music, as she deserves after 3 years of nonstop trauma and pain. This piece shows her personal growth, as well as her musical growth. Delivering the R&B album of our dreams, Ariana delivers fun, sexy music intermingled with her fears of falling in love again after experiencing two horrible breakups in the spotlight alongside her deteriorating mental health. This album has a song for everyone. For the fans who love a good upbeat song, she delivers 34+35, Nasty, and Positions. For the fans who want to be emotionally invested, she delivers Off The Table, Safety Net, and POV. And for the people who love an artist who experiments with a new sound, Grande delivers Shut up, My Hair, and Love Language. This is the perfect follow up to Sweetener and Thank U, Next. She doesn’t follow the patterns of her previous successes, and instead finds herself leading the music industry once again with this album. Let’s watch while everyone else follows in this superstar’s path. Expand

    Positions is Grande’s most understated work since Christmas & Chill - an EP it mimics with its sparkling but soft dinner music mellowness. It’s perhaps not the work we expected from her, but the quietness and subtlety of it makes it more daring and sophisticated of an artistic statement than a return to the Sweetener era would have been. She sounds confident and at peace, and the airinessPositions is Grande’s most understated work since Christmas & Chill - an EP it mimics with its sparkling but soft dinner music mellowness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really loved the Positions album but it may not be her best work. My favourite songs from this album are motive, 34+35 and nasty because they are the actual bops. My least favourite song from this album is shut up because I find the lyrics of the song very annoying and bothering. I think Ariana Grande did a great job delivering a mid tempo R&B and trap-pop album and I loved her impeccable vocals so much. I loved the collaborations from this album especially The Weeknd and Doja Cat. Her last two albums, Thank U, Next and Sweetener were the masterpieces of Ariana Grande’s music career. Expand

    It’s her best work to date. The lyrics, production and vocals are top-notch. Critics and fans are expecting her to stay in “pop” era as she’s a beast in there but ari’s voice is literally perfect in r&b lane.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i’m actually so proud of ariana for finally stepping out of her “pop princess” comfort zone and created more r&b, blues, and whistle note tracks. that’s her area of music. that’s where her vocals serve and that’s where she belongs as an artist. her voice is capable of so much more than a basic pop track and this album proves that. it brings you on an emotional roller coaster but in the BEST way possible. from some of the sadder/more soulful songs like off the table, safety net, pov, she expresses gratitude for her past and how she’s healing from it. in pov, she wants to love herself the way the new person in her life sees her/loves her and also she wants to learn to love another person the same way by not leaving like in the past, “ima love you even though i’m scared” “still getting good at not leaving.” in off the table, she’s scared to love again and the weeknd’s verse is him explaining to her that even though she’s been hurt before and he’s been toxic in the past, he can still love her regardless and he’s willing to try. the more upbeat songs just like magic (sooo catchy and such a vibe for manifesting good things in your life Expand

There is an ongoing theme where fans do the absolute most in attempt to sabotage other artists, Ariana falling victim to this recently. From having her project almost fully leaked before the final release day to fans of other artists mass-buying the competing song in order to see Ariana not succeed, and now for these same people to leave bad reviews on the album there is some sort of obsession there. Many of the reviews i’ve seen criticise this album for being ‘too sexual’ yet in the past Ariana has also been criticised for acting and looking like a child. What is so shocking to me is that we are living in a time where it is still taboo for a woman to to be open about and one with her sexuality. The strings, the vocals, the lyrics, the harmonies, the layering of her vocals, everything on this project was just wonderful and i truly cannot stress enough how divine it was hearing this album for the first time. Contrary to most of the poor reviews, i don’t believe this is a compilation of thank u, next rejects at all. Ariana brought a variety of different flavours to this body of work and it’s something i personally have been waiting for from her. I truly love this album and i feel that as Ariana grows older she is continuing to solidify her sound and its great to see. Each project becomes more and more personal and it seems that she is also opening up her shell a little more through each album. Expand

    POSITIONS isnt just an album, its a cultural reset, its the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, its art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted.

    Ariana showed growth during the past three eras. I am very proud of her growth lyrically and mentally. She uses heavy R&B sounds throughout the album and also hints of Pop and Trap. "34+35" and "off the table" are great examples of R&B influenced Pop songs. This album really reminds of Dangerous Woman and Sweetener.

This album really reminds of Dangerous Woman and Sweetener. People don't like this album because Ariana is making herself "over sexual," but I don't believe she is. She is a woman after all and she is her own artist. Therefore, she can do whatever she wants with her lyrics. Overall, this is a great album and I'm surprised people don't like it. Expand

    Данный альбом показал новую сторону Grande. Я надеюсь что так будет с каждым выходом её новых платинок.

    This album is magical, sensitive, and sexy at the same time. It makes me feel completely safe and comfortable with myself and my sexiness, that's so welcoming at this moment.

    Grande is making no effort to be discreet, instead explicitly owning her sexuality—the album is called Positions, after all. The juxtaposition of beautiful violin sounds and risqué lyrics has become one of Grande’s signature sounds, and it suits her well.

    Grande laid bare may well be seen as a stopgap in her canon, using taboo to checkmate her past trauma, but it does pull off the rare feat of at least sounding effortless.

    With little conflict and few psychological insights, Positions zeroes in on the enviable confidence that only pop stars on top of the world and with nothing to lose can afford. It's easy to write it off as empty calories, but pop has always been described in such terms: cake, candy, chocolate, confection. Positions isn't a "sweetener" but pure sugar.
