    Ariana Grande enters the music scene with one of the best female debuts of the 2010s. Thanks to her delicacy and vocal range, Grande doesn't hesitate to make a good impression.

Thanks to her delicacy and vocal range, Grande doesn't hesitate to make a good impression. Managing to effectively merge the R&B sound of the '90s with the pop of the 2010s thanks to an accurate choice of producers, Grande is able to transport us into the past: the comparison with Mariah Carey is inevitable. With '50s doo-woop influences, the record is cohesive and sonically attentive to detail. Grande's voice goes hand in hand with the sweet and dreamy atmosphere of the tracks; also the textual composition turns out to be of a good level, even if often missing a strong and distinct appeal. Yours Truly is a successful and effective project, capable of portraying Grande as the new promise of contemporary R&B and one of the best debuting vocalists.… 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.

    Es interesante e increible ver la capacidad vocal de Grande al igual de como en este album se inspiro en su actual idola Mariah Carey, sin embargo, siento que no hay una cohesion aqui, Ariana deberia de considerar tener una cohesion, como seguir una historia, Pero muy buen trabajo.

    El Album debut de la artista norteamericana Ariana Grande 'Yours Truly' es un álbum increíblemente brillante y potente considerando este como el "primer gran inicio" de una prometedora carrera de una chica con apenas veinte años, partiendo del argumento que da un salto de la vida actoral a la industria de la música y que este ya le ha abierto las puertas a un público incalculable.

Yours Truly es un álbum tan creativo del que no se puede esperar más de una chica tan jóven que planta sus raíces en el pop con probadas de R&B que con melodías tan pegadizas, coordinadas y bien elaboradas con el complemento perfecto como su voz y el rango vocal que maneja, le permite ser tan fresca y versátil, pero al tiempo tan potente cuando interpreta cada uno de los 'tracks' de este álbum mientras que al tiempo de manera tan sutil con armonías decora las canciones, lo que lo hace un álbum aún más emocionante y vibrante de escuchar.… Expand

    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

    Ariana com certeza serve vocais bonitos, contudo eu não acredito que seja um álbum consistente porque existem altas e baixas no decorrer do álbum, também acho que ele não oferece muito em criatividade e em letras e soa um pouco disneyland em várias faixas, o que, eu não considero agradável.

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.

    "Yours Truly" was released 7 years ago today and started the career of Ariana Grande. This album was inspired by her idols such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera and was meant to be a throwback to 90s R&B. The album opens with "Honeymoon Avenue" which has a nice intro and the song's entire production still sounds very fresh. Its outro was very unnecessary though.

The album opens with "Honeymoon Avenue" which has a nice intro and the song's entire production still sounds very fresh. Its outro was very unnecessary though.
    The album's second single "Baby I" is a very smooth mid-tempo R&B song. I love the horns in the background. Its chorus is a shameless rip-off of Mariah Carey's "Secret Love".
    "Tattooed Heart" has a doo-wop sound and is simply a beautiful ballad. Her vocals are incredible on this one. "Daydreamin‘" is another great song that has a very nice melody in my opinion. The album's lead single "The Way" featuring Mac Miller still sounds fresh today and I remember being obsessed with it when it was released. Also her high notes towards the end of the song are incredible. "Almost Is Never Enough" featuring Nathan Skyes is a beautiful piano ballad with great lyrics. It reminds me a lot of Whitney Houston. "Popular Song" featuring Mika is my guilty pleasure. It doesn’t fit on this album but it’s just a very fun pop tune to be honest. Of course the album has its weaknesses. "Piano" sounds very dated and messy. "Lovin' It" is a terrible song and in my opinion one of the worst songs of Ariana's entire discography. The album's final track "Better Left Unsaid" doesn’t fit on this album...at all. It has a very VERY dated dance pop sound. Overall I think that "Yours Truly" is a solid debut album. I love its uniqueness. Which other 20 year old act, especially one that is tied to a Nickelodeon show, releases a debut album that pays tribute to 90s R&B? Especially in 2013 where EDM and dance pop where popular and done by literally everyone. This album definitely stood out and many of its songs still sound fresh today. Of course it has its weakness, its songs are not as strong as album tracks from "Dangerous Woman" or "thank u, next" but the debut is rarely ever an artist’s strongest work. And it’s still miles ahead of "Sweetener" lol.

    La voz tan dulce que Ariana maneja en este disco, sin duda alguna es uno de sus mejores discos, sabiendo que ese género no se ve tanto en personas como ella, lo supo manejar de la mejor manera

    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

    O início de tudo, no qual vimos uma nova cantora nascer, e lembro quando ouvi pela primeira vez 'The Way' com Mac Miller, vi que lá tinha um artista em potencial, Yours Truly traz toda uma vibe R&B anos 90, que é uma das minhas preferidas eras.

    Mesmo a mídia chamando ela como a 'Nova Mariah Carey', Yours Truly assim como em álbuns seguintes mostrou que ela não é mais um produto genérico e que se reinventa a cada trabalho, se variando a estilos como pop, r&b, trap, dance entre muitos outros, o início de uma grande carreira da Ariana 'Grande'    … Expand

    Not a fan of the result of all the collaborations or the music she puts out, all just pandering to the trend of hip hop-pop combination taking over the charts.

    Such a bad album. Most of the song is trash. So basic and regular nothing special.

    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"

    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.

    Ariana Grande takes us back to a more classic pop era with her debut album. This 80s inspired pop/R&B record shows true potential in Grande. With her vocal performance mixed with the gushy lovestruck vibe portrayed on the album, it is no question that Grande made all the right moves when it came to creating her debut project.

    For some time, I have heard of rivalries between Taylor Swift--whose music I have loved--and Ariana Grande, whom I have not listened to extensively. Because of this, I decided to listen to Grande’s music to really be able to compare the two. After just one album, I cannot do anything because that’s just not enough to base comparisons on. However, I did find that Yours Truly, Ariana Grande’s first album, only beats one of Swift’s albums: the notorious “reputation”, which I gave a score of 2.18, as it suffers from extensive use of generic drum kits and synths and the lyric quality deterioration (they had been so powerful in previous Taylor Swift albums). Now, back to Grande. Yours Truly suffers from the same musicality issue but puts autotune into the mix, which I am not a fan of. Despite this, Grande is able to make upbeat music that does a fair job of disguising these commonalities, so this issue isn’t a big deal for most of the songs in this album. Specifically, I thought Popular Song was amazing, as I love the musical “Wicked” and I was thrilled that they made a real song out of the musical’s version, and other songs like Piano and Better Left Unsaid were great as well. That being said, I did have a bit of a problem with Right There. Right There simply uses too much autotune and has some weird rap riff thing that I wasn’t a fan of, plus it uses some annoying drums. Besides some other minor issues, I had a pretty good time listening to what Ariana Grande had to offer, and I look forward to hearing more of her stuff. Highlights: Honeymoon Avenue, Tattooed Heart, Piano, Popular Song, and Better Left Unsaid.    … Expand

    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.

    It is one of the best works performed by a new artist and its release. The sound is good, but sins in its exaggerated vocals and something that sounds commercial. Songsas stay in your head but don't become saturated, but good to sing. You can be sure with a well-rated debut album like that, something better comes in a few years.

    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.
