    Ariana Grande is so talented, this album truly reflects the intention and meaning of her lyrics, the sound goes well with the lyrics, everything harmonizes perfectly!! If I had to choose I’d say POV is my favorite song of them all. Congratulations on another successful album, Ariana!!

    Positions es hermoso, Pov es una obra de arte, sus fans y haters estan acostumbrados a escuchar algo más movido, y por esa razón dicen que el álbum es monótono, pero a mi me encantó. Speechless...

    Ariana Grande embodies everything that is R&B. All her previous albums were just teasers of what kind of artists she would become, songs like Imagine, showcase just the raw emotion needed to make R&B, to songs like Borderline, which shows how easy she can switch between pop and R&B. Miss Ariana Grande is just the kind of artist her peers need to study.

    I see an ari so different in this era, because in Dangerous Woman she was still maturing and starting to become a woman, now positions, man, she proved to be much more than a woman and, yes, a very fine lady.

    Honestly her most creative peace of work. Most of these critics want her to stick to the pop and not branch into her RnB which is kind of anti-black considering this was made with all POC. Vocally, her absolute best. Truly Ariana has found her true sound on this one.

    An album which showcases Grande's growth, artistically and personally, as she lets the world into her life with sexual hits, empowering anthems, and raw ballads. Her best project yet, which *MUST* be viewed and listened to as an R&B album, not as part of her previous pop persona.

    Acho que devemos aceitar que a era teen de Ariana Grande é apenas um legado. Desde o seu 4° álbum, Sweetener, ela tem mostrado que está disposta a crescer. E agora com seu novo álbum “Positions” podemos ver claramente seu amadurecimento e a mulher brilhante que se tornou!

    Here Ariana’s dreamy vocals intertwine perfectly with the string-influenced instrumentals. The songs perpetuate the feeling of being in love and I get emotional just listening to them. Though a few of these songs are not her greatest feats of lyricism, the good greatly outweighs the bad, and the lyrics that aren’t as complex are often wonderfully playful and affectionate.

    the RnB soul album is so perfectly strung together with its harmonies and vocals. each song has its own elements that make its different but cohesive to the album. i’m so pleased with the outcome i was very cautious when i found out it would be RnB. my top picks are shut up, my hair, safety net and pov

The most songs won't chart but I think Ariana does what she always wanted and I'm so happy for her!

    It has what Dangerous Woman and it's era has. I Don't Care, Jason's Song (Gave it Away), My Favorite Part, Dangerous Woman, the live performance of Diamonds Are Girl's Best Friend... ! I LUV these songs/covers it's totally her genre and she may not chart that much but she will be the icon she's supposed to be! Some of my favorites:
    -my hair
    -point of view -west side
    -love language -obvious
    -nasty

    Every song is really good, it gives a really good vibe and good feelings. The lyrics are really well written, and the style is a mix between every project she released so far, but containes also things we never heard, really R&B and pop kind of vibes. The instumentals and the vocals let the whole thing become so dreamy but at the same time it keeps a movement that makes it perfect.
    I love

    This is one of her best albums. She is moving away from pop and trying r&b and she slayed on these tracks. I suggest you "critics" re-listen to this masterpiece and try again please. This is her true self and this is one of her best work. I love this mature sound and I hope she keeps it in the future.

    Ariana's sixth studio album has a sweet, soft melody. She explored the R&B world and gave us her best project. It was just like magic this new project of hers

    This album is a bit different from the 80’s rhythms that became trending this year, the instrumental complements the main attraction of songs, which is the Grande’s voice

    First i want to star saying that this is a r&b influenced album IT’S NOT A POP ALBUM. I’m tired of people that only like pop music and hate everything else. It’s an amazing album.

    All these critics are just used to hear the same pop with upbeats over and over again. This album is magical and its ART. These **** are deaf and dont know how to appreciate a really good and diferent album. Love R&BIANA.

    It's a different album but I really like it, it's completely different from what Ariana has accustomed us to, I think it's great that she tries different styles, she's in a phase where she leaves her comfort zone.

    this album is exactly the style that Ariana wants.after a long time,she returned to r&b music and blessed our ears with her vocals on this album.especially in the song called ''my hair'', there is a long whistle note.and the number of singers who can hit this note is too small to say. i mean,in short,this album is the album that she put the most effort into

    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.
  2. 80
    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.
