    Ariana Grande clearly saw that she was a sucess with "sweteener" and made a new album in hurry, trying to make the same success with the new one. But it happens that "thank u, next" it's a really annoying album and much inferior to his predecessor.

    With thank u, next, Ariana create a kind and absolutely genius album, with tons of sample that don't take away the essence of the album. One of the best candidates for Album of The Year.

    Full of copied tracks! It gives me the vibes of 1989 of Taylor Swift. 7 Rings is lyrically awful. The title track, 'Thank u next!', is a straight scrap from the rejected songs of Avril Lavigne. Such a mediocre album!

Não possui uma mensagem tão potente como em seu álbum anterior, que pra mim foi o seu melhor, mas é um desabafo necessário sobre a sua vida pessoal. Possui algumas músicas descartáveis como 7 rings, que para mim ela só botou pelo smash hit mesmo porque é TOTALMENTE deslocada do contexto, e também make up (que chega a ser irritante de tanta repetição). Uma observação, porém: diferente do Sweetener, que é onde ela mostra o seu pop de verdade, thank u, next é um indie-pop e r&b maravilhoso. E sim, é um dos melhores álbuns de 2019 sem sombra de dúvidas. Expand

The album opens with “imagine” which, in the closing seconds, displays Ariana’s amazing ability to control the whistle register, a very rare skill. Whether it’s an upbeat track like “NASA” or “bloodline,” or a slow jam like “needy” or “make up,” the singer is always making it very apparent that she’s having fun with her work and that she loves what she’s doing. The title track and lead single has become a modern classic for it’s music video filled with movie references. The second official single, 7 rings, is one huge flex. Grande isn’t afraid to remind us that she is indeed very, very rich. The third single, and final song, on the album is titled “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” and yet again shows us that Ariana isn’t afraid to have fun or steal your man. Overall, thank u, next made it overwhelmingly clear that Ariana Grande is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry and secured her status as a “main pop girl.” Expand

    Um dos melhores álbuns do ano, Ariana se encontra em um grande momento musical, e o Thank u, next não se desviou nem um pouco disso. Seus incríveis vocais, se misturam a letras mais sensuais ou até mais tristes do que os seus antecessores, e conta com uma produção e arranjos impecáveis. A cada trabalho de Grande, ela mostra se superar mais e mais.

    "thank u next" é uma jóia pop no cenário musical atual dominado por homens e outros gêneros musicais. Em seu quinto álbum de estúdio, Grande explora toda a sua glória vocal e canta suas letras mais pessoais até o momento

    One of her best albums ever!!! She put her soul on the lyrics on her most personal album. We can know about Ariana listening to the songs and this make it incredible. It will be a Grammys nominee and winner for sure.

    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.
