    This album truly defines who Ariana Grande is. This album is Ariana Grande, her sound, her voice, and lyricism. Her best album to date!

    Has an undeniable groove and confidence to it, but the best songs on the album are those that have already been released. So, in that regard I was a little disappointed. Overall, I'd put it behind "Sweetener," but still a good album.

    'Thank U, Next' is Ariana Grande's most cohesive album to date. The lyrics show how much she has matured since the beginning of her career and that she is not afraid of becoming more personal in her art.

    "This album is her best album so far, tied with Dangerous Woman. Vocals, the meaning of the lyrics, versatility..is so good" she gave us so good vibrations, it's her best cohesive album yet, I think she can get better and better than this, but is still a 10/10 album

    Álbum extremamente perfeito e gostoso de ouvir, na primeira ouvida eu já me apaixonei, 'bad idea', 'bloodline' e 'break up...' sendo os pontos altos para faixas divertidas, difícil não amar alguma música desse álbum

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.

    Ariana Grande triunfa mais uma vez e perpetua seu reinado no alicerce do pop, ao mesmo tempo se destacando como a maior de sua geração. "Thank U, Next" é um álbum poderoso, coeso e que traz o relato da vida conturbada de uma jovem que se encontra no auge de sua carreira e nas ruínas de sua vida pessoal.

    The album is a moment of self-healing and discovery of her sound for Ariana Grande.

'sweetener' was a great pop record that highlights the positivity and rainbows in life, however, it feels like this album is where Ariana finally acknowledges her problems and faces them head-on. Lyrically, the album is not only miles better than 'Dangerous Woman' or 'My Everything', but it feels like she's genuinely singing the songs from her perspective. "ghostin'" is a great example of her singing from her raw emotions. Production-wise, it's a great, great pop album influenced with her usual trap and R&B which seems to be her personal style nowadays. Definitely worth a listen, this is the Ariana Grande - the pop star at the peak of her powers recording this album.… Expand

    The 'thank u, next' album is her best work to date, some can call it her "magnum opus". What's great about her as an artist is that she keeps on evolving every release, even with just a six month-interval from her fourth album "Sweetener".

    Impecável! Incrível como ela conseguiu fazer tanta música boa num espaço de seis meses.
    "Young Ariana run pop" e eu estou aqui pra ouvir e reverenciar! Grande artista e voz de sua geração! Quaisquer elogios são pouco pra enaltecer Ariana Grande. Que voz! Que voz! Que voz! Imagine, NASA, Bloodline e Ghostin, minhas favoritas!

    In just two weeks of production, the album managed to overcome great obstacles. Breaking several records and bequests, which Ariana Grande have your name registered in the music industry. The album is completely amazing lyrically and sonically. She deserves all this! Congratulations!

    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.
