    Apenas um dos melhores álbuns da Ariana.
    Acredito que fica equiparado com Dangerous Woman.
    Agora é só ficar de olho em Bloodline, Fake Smile e Break Up With Your Girlfriend, i'm bored que estão ae pra virar uns hit.

    The album is simply stunning. The production and its due compositions are invincible, Ariana has evolved in a way to see and to be proud. You listening to the album interacts with the songs and there are some tiresome pauses that you have in other pop albums. Amazing!

    Her best album for sure! Needy is so cute and sad at the same time. 7 rings and bloodline are highlights. thank u next and break up with your girlfriend are so powerful and inspiring. And "ghosting", so emotional!

    With beautiful melodies, perfects lyrics and such a powerful mind, Grande makes her best album until now and shows herself like the woman she really is. fragility and true words are the best parts of this album, cause Ariana recognizes that life is a messy but she really wants to live it. With even more maturity and cohesion than Sweetener, she makes a really work of art.

    Hard to come across an album with 0 skips. Thank, U Next is already undoubtedly the album of the year and it's only February.

    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". Three years ago, I still might've thought 'Dangerous Woman' was her best work, but then her fifth album gave us pop masterpieces, album quality andThe 'thank u, next' album is her best work to date, some can call it her "magnum opus".

Three years ago, I still might've thought 'Dangerous Woman' was her best work, but then her fifth album gave us pop masterpieces, album quality and "hip-pop" cohesion, but now with added global hits, something "Dangerous Woman" lacked. This album will reach miles by sales and impact, and will probably stay long at the top, and we're here for it.… Expand

    This is Ariana's most solid body of work. Cohesive, great production, great lyrics and amazing vocals. Glad she finally found her true sound and hope she keeps doing music like this.

    This is simply her best album. It's so heartbreaking, sad, powerful and great. There's more Rythim and Blues that make it unique.

    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.
