    In this album Ariana Grande proves to all of us that she really carries pop music and it's the queen of the music industry in our years. It has trap songs but also ballads, because she can do literally ANYTHING.

    One of her best works, speaking of empowerment after a breakup, Ariana shows a new phase in her life and this album is quite personal, it has several hits and combinations of Ariana's musical styles that only she can do.

    Es un álbum muy bueno,fue incomprendido para mi en ese momento,las letras con ritmos de trap -pop son muy atrapantes y mega cohesivas,sin duda es uno de sus mejores trabajos.

    This album is amazing, and it is one of the best from 2019. All of the tracks feel necessary, and they all talk about a different aspect of Ariana's life. This album showcases her honesty with herself and her maturity and growth. Recommendations: "imagine", "fake smile", "ghostin", "needy".

    A magnificent album that went into depth about ariana's life, showed us the fun side of the popstar with tracks like "bad idea" "bloodline" "7 rings" "NASA" and more personal tracks like "ghostin" "in my head" "needy". So easy to listen to, ariana has an eye for music.

    Not even the following year, Ariana Grande has already topped Sweetener with one of the best pop albums of 2018.

    I did try to like this album but unfortunately it lacks something that makes it standout if i'm being honest. Each track borrows chords from sounds we have heard before in the last 20 years and strangely each track sounds like rushed takes of her previous music in her catalogue.

    Wow it's crazy .
    It's my 2nd favourite album from her. I really like bad idea in my head make up bloodline and ghostin. I'm giving it a good score just because it's Ariana.

    ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER. This is like Ariana's diary so it has great songwriting. The album is mostly a mixture of pop, R&B, reggae, hip hop, soul, EDM and trap. My favorites are all of them!

    Very entertaining from the very beginning to the end, you can feel every track for the lyrics and the vocals but the music production it’s even better. A Perfect Album without a doubt.

    Her best album 100% not a single bad song in sight. Even the weaker sad songs, are still at the very least am 8/10.

    Ignorando 7 rings e break up with your girlfriend, esse álbum é pessoal, trazendo a tona ex-namorados, e uma resposta para a fama. A sonoridade dele é muito influenciada pelo trap, mas é mais sofisticado do que o trap cliche, ainda acrescentando alguns momentos de violino, backing vocals, guitarra.

    After 2 years of its release, I still think this is Ariana's best work to date. It brought her first number 1 singles, and the tour that followed this album was huge. And the fact that she put this together in 2 weeks is mind blowing.

    This album saved my life. She is expressing exactly what I was going through at that time, so much pain and trauma, it shed a light on those problems and made me see them in another perspective.

    We know that it is Ariana Grande's best album to date, it has excellent songs, with bright and bold musical composition.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Grande's best work so far, the lyrics and the themes are in line with what she wanted to express.
    His great voice shows that he is one of the greats of his generation, positioning himself to become a legend.

    Occasionally, rarely, a record comes along that restores our faith. If this is the future of pop-music, then sign me up.

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
