    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.

    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.

However, some songs seems very similar, but generally it’s incredible. A very positive point: Fake Smile is one of the best Ariana’s songs.

    6.75/12 ~ .563 -> 3.17

    How many misfires does it take for these mistakes to become a new normal? This is what I am experiencing with Ariana Grande. Her previous two albums, “Sweetener” and “thank u, next” have both been pretty darn bad, which is a disappointment after the semi-decent hit-or-miss “Dangerous Woman.” Almost every song on thank u, next is plagued by electronic drum kits that just don’t sound that great, which becomes repetitive and tiring. A lot of the songs are also pretty oversexualized and Grande uses so much language that it becomes distracting. Unfortunately, this is what happens when pop artists go “current.” They get so focused on popularity that they will sacrifice their music quality for radio plays. This is not always a bad thing, though. Some artists have been able to do this fairly well, though Grande seems to have fallen into the trap (get it?) of low-effort, explicit tunes, which is very disappointing for someone who just wants some good pop. With thank u, next, Ariana Grande establishes a rather unfortunate losing streak. I viewed Sweetener as bad because a lot of the music sounded the same and I saw an overall decrease in quality in the lyrics. thank u, next is the same story: not great lyrics (though less annoying than Sweetener), including lots of unnecessary expletives, and generic music throughout (even Sweetener had a couple good poppy songs sprinkled in). I really hope that Grande strays from this style that she has adopted and goes back to something like Dangerous Woman. Fans of current, generic music will appreciate this album. Otherwise, it’s hard for me to see anyone liking this as a whole, except for huge Ariana Grande fans of course. I will listen to Positions, her next, but I sure hope that it is better than this. Highlights: needy; ghostin; and thank u, next.    … Expand

    One of the best albums of his career without a doubt, and the most iconic one full of sincere songs and with great instrumentals, each song reflects a different feeling and at the same time, they have the same essence except for "Break up with your girlfriend I'm bored. "It presents a sound not so cohesive but very attractive. The album presents us with a real artist who is perfectly imperfect.

    I don't have any major negatives from this album, except "in my head" is a mess of a track.

That's not to say the songs are bad - NASA is one of my favorites from this album, for example.I don't have any major negatives from this album, except "in my head" is a mess of a track.

Maybe because the album came out so quickly after Sweetener, and a few of the songs were just so-so, that the album feels disingenuous to me at times.

    Ariana is very overrated in the music industry, She has a good voice but the whiny, cat like tone she approaches most of the time is a big turn off for me.

    This is one of the most overrated musical projects I have ever heard. It feels like musical McDonalds.

    Without hesitation, Ariana shows versatility in this album, although my only problem with the album is the empty lyrics found in some songs, as we go from ghostin to, break up with your boyfriend, I'm bored

    Her best album, also her most personal record. Lyrics are very good, specially in songs like Needy, Fake Smile, Ghostin and Thank u next. Production is also amazing with minimalism in it works flawlessly. As the album best song I would choose Ghostin, extremely sad and atmospheric ballad with so personal and well written lyric, amazing song.

    A bunch of radio friendly songs put together, all songs are ''bops'', but that is all, it was an successful atemnpt to keep Ariana relevante ater Sweetner being dislike by her teenage fandom. With some exeptions like ''thank u, next'', the vocals are amazing, lyrics are overall generic, silly and boring and. production is repetitive. In conclusion great for the charts, no wonder this wasA bunch of radio friendly songs put together, all songs are ''bops'', but that is all, it was an successful atemnpt to keep Ariana relevante ater Sweetner being dislike by her teenage fandom.

    not even a fan of ariana but i loved this album very much, a well put mix of happy, energetic songs and sad ones. unlike positions, this album did not have one boring/repetitive song which was a very good thing. bad idea is definitely a huge hit and should’ve been a single. loved the beat on’ break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored’. didn’t have any features which was also great becausenot even a fan of ariana but i loved this album very much, a well put mix of happy, energetic songs and sad ones. unlike positions, this album did not have one boring/repetitive song which was a very good thing. bad idea is definitely a huge hit and should’ve been a single. loved the beat on’ break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored’. didn’t have any features which was also great because we got to hear ariana’s voice alone. no skips. easily her best album to date. showed her vocals beautifully, especially on 7 rings. in conclusion, this is her best work and i’d happily give it a 10/10.… Expand

    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.
