    This girl is definitely one of the greatest talents that entered the biz in a long, long time! And the amazing thing is that, instead of wasting that incredible voice on the bubblegum pop most people her age do nowadays, she decided to bring that late-90's urban/R&B/soul feeling back to the charts, and I think we're all grateful for that!

    Your Truly is in my opinion quite possibly the best album of the year. It's nostalgic sound to the 90s and Grande's vocal is what get s to me. This album deserves Grammys and Grande deserve recognition.

    Ariana Grande has a spectacular voice, which has a very high range (similar to Mariah Carey). All the songs are magical. Some are danceable while others are pleading ballads. Simply Amazing. This album is simply a gift, from Ariana truly.

Pop songs are mostly just club-friendly with unchanging drums and similar lyrical content. These people are selling singles. No one cares about the quality of a whole album. With several pop songs reaching top of the charts, then you work is done. Congratulations to Rihanna and Katy Perry for that. When Mariah has number one hits in the 90's, at least Mariah has a golden voice and occasionally produced a great album like Daydream. It becomes rare to really enjoy a nice vocal performance from female artists these days.

    Finally we have Ariana to give us something fresh, classy and enjoyable. And the songs are memorable. The girls is selling an album, not singles. It is inevitable for people to compare Ariana to Mariah all the time. With the crazy vocals and Pop/R&B Diva-ish music style, Ariana is kind of what we all want as the new generation's Mariah Carey, without all the diva stuff. It will be interesting to see what Ariana Grande delivers us in the future. With the voice, the look and the heart she got, she'll go pretty far.    … Expand

    Espetacular! Ariana Grande sem dúvidas é mais nova estrela da música da geração atual. Além de ter uma voz quase inacreditável para uma garota tão nova, suas músicas são muito radiofônicas e agradáveis. "Yours Truly" é um grande album alá Mariah Carey.

    An extremely underrated album. It's throwback but the tunes are catchy enough to keep it relevant today. Some of my personal favorites are Honeymoon Avenue, Tattooed Heart, and You Will Never Know. The Way is radio friendly but also shows off Grande's immense vocal ability. One of the best albums of the decade to be quite honest.

    Even though it's her debut album, Ariana Grande demonstrates a great professionalism in each song. In the course of the album, the listener feels more captivated and thrilled, sharing the same feelings of the author. Besides, you can feel a great nostalgia,
    due its influences of the 90 's. Featured songs: "Honeymoon Avenue", "Tattooed Heart", "Better Left Unsaid", "Daydreamin" and "The Way".

Her tone is lovely and her songs are very hearted with meaning but has a lot of energy in other tunes too. It's something I don't really find on mainstream done with such grace and balance, I feel very pleased listening to her variety of songs. It seems like very few people reviewed Ariana Grande's first album here. The initial excitement for her release is still there, even after My Everything era had a smashing success, the critically acclaimed Yours Truly might be the beloved favorite for her fans. And it might be her favorite too, because she is very identified with it, she wishes she lived in Honeymoon Avenue and has tattoed hearts on her body. This was a #1 album as well but the overall opinion was that she was very underlooked. She is the opposite now, a superstar viewed and regarded to high standards when it comes to about anything measurable that indicates success. She is considered a hit maker now but essentially Ariana Grande always wanted to make an R&B album, this will always be the foundation of her career, which I hope is very long lived. When people doubt her future or recent material, they can always check out Yours Truly, I think she could make anyone appreciate it and see how Ariana has a great place in music. As we can see she can be a full pop star or a very gifted R&B singer, there is no way she doesn't continue growing as an artist. And we can't settle for Yours Truly to be her best album. More great music please, Ariana. Come on… Expand

    It's really amazing how on her first album, Ariana Grande managed to show herself as a woman with a voice and who can excel in some voices of her generation. With an incredible voice, "Yours Truly" is an ingenious and cohesive work, without many artificial effects that sometimes spoil a good work. Ariana was beginning to follow a path of talent and intelligence in her way of doing music.

    Ariana has a spectacular debut. His voice and his production did not make an ejoativo pop that had much throughout the year released. Very well done!

    An excellent pop debut of the last years, without a doubt Ariana Grande is one of the most relevant pop stars to date, each song is very good.

    This is the absolute most amazing debut album EVER. She really proved everyone that she is an absolute great and talented and legendary pop star, and that she was here to stay for a long time. The retro R&B vibes blend perfectly with Ariana's golden voice. This is album proves that Ariana Grande is one of a kind.

    Besutiful debut album made for nostalgia effects, showing ariana’s versatily and vocals while stickikg to a retro sound. The album also has great ballads and hits, will make you cry, fall in and out of love, and dance.

    Yours Truly is simply amazing. Ariana's incredible vocals capture you through every single song, hitting high notes with ease like Mariah Carey, and singing along to fun melodies and lyrics. The album has a lot of r&b and pop influences, which suit Ariana's soft voice amazingly. My favourite track on the album is the opener, Honeymoon Avenue, which is a song that tells the story of aYours Truly is simply amazing.

My favourite track on the album is the opener, Honeymoon Avenue, which is a song that tells the story of a couple who's relationship turned sour after a while of being together. Ariana sings about how she wishes they could "go back to the way it was." Overall, the album is a masterpiece and I hope that as many people can listen to and enjoy it as much as I did.… Expand

    Her debut album might be her best of work, yet. As she gave songs that gives us nostalgia. This album greatly showcases her talent in singing, and it's giving me the chills! Her powerful voice is one of the best in this generation. The mix between bubblegum pop and soulful ballad on her album is a perfect combination.

    Amazing! One of the best debuts ever! The Way (yes I did it) Ariana leads us into this masterpiece is incredible, there is a "teen" vibe within all of the songs, making the album cohesive and fun. You will not get bored while listening to Yours Truly, because each one of the tracks brings its own message. Someone is definitely going to be crowned as a member of the pop royalty, right AG?

    Ariana Grande's debut album is an amazing album but very underrated. Yours Truly carries the expectations of a young singer who has already proven herself on the pop charts and maybe a future queen of pop.

    Since it's ariana's debut album it did every well! I'm so proud of her and looking forward to this album to get on a high level of streams, it will probably get 1B streams in 2020 which is 90% possible! Some songs of this album are sooooo gooodddd but some like popular songs you can't hear more than 1 time, you'll hear it 1 time and then forget about it lol

    A relatively safe debut where much of the takeaway is the salivating at Grande’s potential.

    Yours Truly is a very safe record. Mostly written by two of R&B's most mawkish hawkers, Babyface and Harmony Samuels, it’s built on cliché and tradition, and written professionally to a fault.
