Within months, Grande faces a broken engagement and the death of Mac Miller. What she had managed to communicate and achieve with Sweetener, namely personal security and self-confidence, is shattered again. Grande recognizes the need to tell herself again: she does not hesitate to compose and work on a new album that is capable to expose how she feels.
    Not only is Thank U, Next even more personal than Sweetener, it's also a step forward sonically. Maintaining a strong pop and R&B foundation, influences from hip hop and trap music are as strong as ever: Grande's versatility still doesn't disappoint, while her naturally pleasing vocal virtuosity continues to blow our minds.
    Textually, Thank U, Next promises to be a high quality record, with an emotional participation at times moving. Grande is once again a singer-songwriter, in a decidedly evident way, helped by a group of very close collaborators and friends. The track Ghostin is an evident proof of this step forward, representing the most personal track by the singer in her entire discography.
    The ability of Grande and her team in reconciling what is commercially attractive and what is qualitatively good is still felt, starting from the lead single of the same name. Thank U, Next, perhaps the most pop track within the project, is among Grande's most personal singles, despite being decidedly captivating also from a musical point of view. 7 Rings and Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored, the other two singles on the record, promise to be the most textually frivolous tracks, but for Grande and her collaborators this is legitimate: after two years of suffering, the singer wants to devote herself again to a type of music capable of making the listener entertain and dance, and make her forget the negativity that led her to see everything in black and white. And a little irony undoubtedly helps.
    Thank U, Next has few flaws: despite the presence of the filler track Make Up, certainly among the most superficial ever written by Grande, all the songs are of excellent quality from every point of view. Ariana Grande's fifth album is the opposite of a disappointment: it leaves you speechless.    … Expand

    Um album muito bom, inegável que tem uns traps bem genéricos e uns 'yah' desnecessários, mas é um dos melhores projetos de Ariana Grande

    Pontos Positivos: "ghostin", "borderline", "NASA"

    Pontos Negativos: "imagine", produção muito repetitiva nas músicas

    Not one of my favorite Ariana’s album, but it’s a complete work. There are some songs that feels remaining in this record, and would’ve be better out of it. One of the highlights of the album is the track “ghostin” a very personal and emotional song. Its singles were pretty well chosen.

    Ariana challenged herself to change the style/concept of her music and she accomplished it by bringing other genres to her music, which gave her the biggest hits of all-time.

The lead title track is a rare kiss off that doesn't become accusatory and hateful, instead taking each lost relationship as lessons. It's popularity wasn't surprising giving how well ariana packages a record and captures a zietgist so wholly. Tge aforementioned is present on the capitalist 'girlboss' sound of music indept "7rings"(possibly her biggest commercial song ) which despite it's confusing use of AAVE , blackfishing or theft of art direction from 2chainz is an achievement. The emotional centerpiece "ghostin" is one of her most personal songs (even sampling it's subject matters song "2003"). It's a insight into grieving an ex who stayed as a friend whilst you've moved on,the confusing politics of that loss and the uncomfortable position it places your partner. This is truly a pop masterpiece with no skip in sight. The catchy AF ''NASA" makes time to oneself an interstellar commitment or the fun "in my head " makes an exercise out of deciphering a lovers intentions &actions . The production deserves it's own mention, it's sprawling quasi-trap with the essential violins/orchestra embellishments. A true magnum opus for sure.… Expand

    Una obra maestra, uno de los mejores álbumes de Ariana, el contenido emocional de las canciones es tremendo. Mis favs son needy, 7 rings, bloodline.

    Appropriated the Black culture for the entire era. Awful lyrics, awful sound, awful singer.

    Easily her best album. No skips, all tracks are cohesive and compared to her other albums the lyricism of her songs has improved and she got a lot more involved into the songwriting process

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is one of the best albums of Ariana Grande's career. It has a homogeneous sound and completely complacent between the tracks, where there is a harmony when listening to them continuously. In addition, the compositions are good and sincere, where we can understand the message that the singer wants to convey, with a "bubble" and rhythmic brushstroke. If I were Ariana, unfortunately, I wouldn't add "make up" and "fake smile" only. I loved this job, it's one of the most memorable of her career, a radiant perfection.… Expand

    a legendary album if you ask me, it's a very important album for ari in both her career and emotionally, it helped her cope with depression, grief and sadness in general, and one of her fan-favourite as well.

    her best work to date, it has incredible vocals (as seen in imagine) great story telling (as seen in ghostin) great producido and instumental (as seen in bad idea) super hits (as seen in 7 rings, the title track and buwygib) and its just a great album overall

    A solid album, all 12 tracks really stand out on its own. Ariana vocals never fails to impress. Great productions. Lyrically, one of her best. Her most genuine, raw album to date.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First impression weren't that good but after some listens it gets better. Some songs I should talk are:
    "imagine", the final whistle notes are one of the best sounds, and the song it's so magical.

    "ghostin'", I think Ariana could sing better notes un this, I find the song one of her best but I guess it could be better if she put some more vocals in there.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ariana posiciona su quinto trabajo discográfico 'thank u, next' como uno de los álbumes pop más memorables, brillantes y potentes no solo del 2019, sino de los últimos tiempos siendo este un proyecto en el que se reflejan éxitos pegadizos y de gran renombre como el single homónimo de este mismo proyecto 'thank u, next', el segundo single a la cabeza '7 rings' que tuvo un éxito tan brillante, que le hizo merecer y de qué forma dos nominaciones en la versión número 62 de los Grammy Awards, entre ellas en una categoría principal [Record Of The Year] y en la categoría de Best Pop Solo Performance, demostrando así que Grande viene a codearse con grandes estrellas en su mismo campo que tienen más trayectoria pero sin desmerecer el talento y la habilidad de crear piezas que sean difícil de olvidar entre sus fans debido a toda la historia y contexto que existe detrás de cada una de las canciones presentes en este álbum. Ariana es una artista que con tan solo un poco más de ocho años de trayectoria musical, ya se posiciona como una de las artistas más grandes de los tiempos actuales y de la historia por tan brillante capacidad interpretativa, creatividad de creación, capacidad vocal, desempeño comercial y aclamación mundial.… Expand

    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.
