    Ariana's debut album is gorgeous, beautiful and enjoyable. She has demonstrated her strong vocal since her debut album. People say that she is the young Mariah Carey because of her vocal, yes she is. All of the tracks on this album touch my feelings, made me chill and some tracks are fun like "The Way", "Right There"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The musical style of Yours Truly explores a "retro style" sound mixing 1990s pop and R&B, with certain songs incorporating influences from mid-'90s hip hop, '50s piano pop, and doo-wop. Scott Interrante from PopMatters complimented the music presented in the album and noted that compositionally and production wise, "tropes of both styles are blended together effortlessly." As he perceived, "erratic programmed drums support the rich harmonies and piano chords of the more doo-wop songs and the R&B tracks are infused with a wide-eyed optimism more associated with the ‘60s pop style." Pitchfork's Andrew Ryce felt that Grande opted "for a 90s hip-hop soul vibe that awkwardly sits with the more doo-wop-indebted songwriting." The album opens with an orchestral intro that introduces the first track "Honeymoon Avenue", a downtempo song composed in the key of F-sharp major and set in a 4/4 time signature at a moderate tempo of 63 beats per minute. The song explores the 1950s musical style mixing doo-wop with an urban-inspired sound. Lyrically, "Honeymoon Avenue" uses several metaphors to speaks about someone in a car being driven by her (romantic) partner. The driver is stuck to the same old route and driving mode that may make them crash. In interview with MTV, Grande explained its lyrics saying that "Honeymoon Avenue" "is about knowing you are at the end of a relationship and wishing it could not be the end and go back to the beginning and start over." The second track "Baby I" is drenched in a "retro sound" from 1990s R&B and pop sonority. Lyrically, "Baby I" is a confession on Grande's behalf admitting a special love for someone and how she can't formulate her strong feelings into words. The elements of "Baby I" are further illustrated by its use of finger snaps, a syncopated beat, horns and drums. The third track "Right There" features guest appearance by rapper Big Sean. Musically, "Right There" also incorporates the influences frein 1990s R&B and urban music, mixing "stabbing synths", trap-inflected beat and a hip hop groove. Reviewing the song, Jason Lipshutz from Billboard noted that "while Big Sean boasts about his sexual prowess, Grande flaunts her typically impressive melismas before ratcheting up the emotion for the finale." The fourth track "Tattooed Heart" is a doo-wop song written in the key of G major with a tempo of 72 beats per minute in compound quadruple (12/8) time while Grande's vocals spans from D4 to F5. "Piano" is built on a hand-clapped rhythm, pulsating beats and a piano loop. (Credit: Wikipedia)… Expand

    “Yours Truly” is the definition of how every debut album should be. When the album was released Ariana Grande was still a Nickelodeon star but this didn’t stop her from creating one of the best music projects of 2013: the 90’s r&b influences with a mix of 1950’s doo-wop style set the tone for what will be one of the most iconic discography of the century.

    Even though this album can't compare this her others it's still perfect. But I believe it's very "soft" and "bubbly". I would prefer more Savage lyrics idk.

    Doce, amável. Um belo começo, lembrando a trilha sonora de um baile.
    Tem vocais angelicais e grandes pontos altos. Definitivamente um despertar excelente para uma futura popstar

    It's extremely rare to see someone do a debut like Ariana did. Vocally, it's very immersive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É um album coeso, bem produzido e com ótimas letras! Ariana traz seu debut album muito bem feito e raramente se vê um assim. Em geral, ele é um ótimo album, mas tem algumas tracks como Popular Song e Better Left Unsaid que poderiam ser descartadas ou nunca feitas. O album é feito de altos e poucos baixos. Uma das horas que ele fica muito alto é em Tattooed Heart, Daydreamin e You'll Never Know.… Expand

    Ariana Grande has been a talent to watch this year as the 20 year old slowly fades away from Nickelodeon and works on her solo career, now most debut albums for former kid stars are hit or miss.

Thankfully "Yours Truly" the debut album fro Grande proves to be a success with well written songs, great production value, and Outstanding Vocals from Grande herself. The album starts out with the single "Honeymoon Avenue" which has some similarities with Timberlake's opening track "Pusher Love Girl" mostly for it's Violin and Strings at the beginning. the first half is ballads that shine because Grande provides plenty of Depth to each track with her own signature style. The second half is more fun and meant to be taken lightly which is a different approach from most pop albums, but "Yours Truly" manages to pull off this scheme very well. There are a couple of problems, some songs in the middle drag on a little, also it's not a very thoughtful album, the messages here are mostly about young love, nothing more, nothing less. But still "Yours Truly" is one of the more enjoyable pop albums to come along in a while, and proves that Grande has the chops to pull everything off on her own.… Expand

    An unexpected delight. Expectations were at low as possible seeing as how Ariana is a product of Nickelodeon. Each song is beautifully serenaded by Ariana Grande and superb voice. Ariana doesn't come off as another pop artist trying to whore her way through pop culture. Finally the world has a mature, respectable, and truly talented artist.

    Great album. Only bad songs are Popular Song and Almost Is Never Enough. Every other song is great. She's a much better singer than all of these other teen stars and she has a bright future ahead of her.

    Beautiful debut album by Ariana Grande, her voice is flawless and the violins and various instruments give a certain depth to her music which you don't hear a lot of in pop anymore.

    This album was a decent debut for this girl. Shame her second album sucks donkey balls. She's succumbed to pressure to become like every other singer out there right now. Sad. I thought Yours Truly was a nice slice of R&B/pop though. Would recommend it.

    After 1 F****** Year, I'm still in love with this album. The vocals and the instrumentals are incredible. I'll hope she does some day another album so great as this one.

    Um dos trabalhos mais bem realizados por uma artista teen. Algumas faixas realmente deixam a desejar em quesito sonoridade, mas nada de tão inusitado. Dei minha nota, de acordo com a percepção que tive ao avaliar sonoramente cada faixa do "Yours Truly" e sua parte lírica. Em seu total, é um bom álbum bom para o tipo de música que temos hoje no mercado de jovens cantores internacionais.

    I really love this album, I didn't think that a Nickelodeon actress could release an album with this quality. It's so sad that she changed her style and became comercial with ''My Everything''. Maybe she will change with Moonlight but I don't think so. Honeymoon Avenue is my favorite song of her..

    This albums is so fun and spectacular. It is very rare to find a good debut album, however Miss Grande has shown that she is much more than being an actress with red hair on a Nickelodeon TV Show.

    Despite few tracks, overall this album feels too good and professional to be a debut. It showcases Ariana's talent in the most exquisite way and makes you enjoy & feel the throwback in every single track. It's cohesive, exciting, warming and professional. One of the best debut albums of this decade.

    Her 2nd best album after Dangerous Woman of course. Honeymoon Avenue, Daydreamin’, and The Way are hands down the best songs. Her voice is amazing.

    Yours Truly é o primeiro album da Ariana Grande e também o qual da inicio na sua carreira musical, lançado na época em que ela atuava em seriados da Nickelodeon, traz um ar de princesa de contos de fada romântica e moderna, traz ótimos vocais da Ariana, mesmo sendo o primeiro é simples e agradável.

    Ariana Grande mostrou nessa obra-prima em r&b que havia chegado para ficar. Um álbum excelente, porém pontuo a falta de personalidade dela nessa época, não participando intensamente nas produções de suas obras (coisa que atualmente ela faz maestrosamente).

    Yours Truly is more tempered and less likely to put you in a beaming state of catatonia.

    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.
