    I wasn't expecting that Ariana would release album this year, but i was really excited when I heard that is coming, and when it came, in first listen, i was completely shocked, she changed her genre from Pop to R&B and that's cool, I LOVE IT.

    Iconic. She proves once again that she doesn't need to be linked to pop to deliver flawless works. In it, she delivers a unique r&b, something that maybe, only she would be able to do.

    Ariana está redescobrindo o amor. Depois de tanta dor, o processo de cura de Grande resulta em um álbum gostoso e relaxante de se ouvir. Com altos e baixos (bem menos baixos), Ariana entrega a qualidade vocal de sempre, com bons arranjos, ainda que não se arrisque tanto quanto fez em Sweetener, mas particularmente prefiro os pés no chão que Positions oferece.

She seems more confident that ever, she seems healthier than ever, she seems sexier than ever and we can notice that on her lyrics.

    it is the most mature album of Ariana Grande. She got back to her roots with R&B, this is the mixture of yours truly and sweetener, with the lyrics of Dangerous Woman. She was the main songwriter in all of the songs. The top 3 of the album for me: pov, just like magic and nasty. Congratulations Ariana, you deserve the world. I am so proud of you

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. her entire discography has been about dark times, scared to love, failed relationships, losing lover and personal traumatic events. positions is about getting up and finally giving love life a try again. why does she have to sing about dark horrible tragedy in order for her album to be considered "meaningful" do people expect her to sing about Manchester bombing, mac miller's death, big sean who must break up with his toxic girl (jhene aiko) all the time ? just because she wasn't on the verge of tears when she was singing this it doesn't mean there is no emotions behind the lyrics so what if the theme isn't about dark clouds just like thank u next & my everything.??????

The cohesiveness of Positions, thank u, next and sweetener and 'new' sound of Ariana forms a type of triology, out of which Positions lands on top. The other hand of this album is the thin line between cohesion and repetitiveness - tracks like safety net, positions and pov stand-out a lot to me - they mesh beautifully with the entire album but on their own they shine even more and become addicting. Most of the other songs however barely stand out and feel like fillers for the more interesting tracks.

    Who cares about all these critics? Were they expecting a pop album? Or a thank u, next new version? Positions is not pop, so it can't be judged as pop. And if it were a new thank u, next, they would say Ariana always makes the same **** Positions has everything, potential singles, amazing vocals, and it's classic adn exquisite, at the same time it's sexy.

    On this album Ariana used her moment and produced something incredible about him. She simply finds herself where she always wanted to be and did a great job with her team. I also brought something incredible and innovative. Congratulations, Ariana.

    Hands down one of the best albums i’ve ever heard. The evolution from past albums is insane, the production is flawless, and her vocals have never been more beautiful. Listen for clear skin and a fat ass❤️

    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.
