    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.

    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

    Debiutancki album Ariany Grande. Podoba mi się, że na swoim debiutanckim albumie artystka nie poszła na łatwiznę zatrudniając topowych producentów robiąc typową dla tej dekady muzykę pop zorientowaną na billboard top 100, ale w jej muzyce przejawiają się inspirację muzyką której słuchała jako dziecko czyli pop i R&B lat 90tych takich wykonawców jak Christina Aguilera czy Whitney Houston.Debiutancki album Ariany Grande.

Zaowocowało to świetnym "Honeymoon Avenue", są tu utwory jak "Daydreamin'" w których znaleźć można Doo Wop lat 50tych, jest fajny hip hopowy "The Way" z Maciem Millerem i może nie niosący ze sobą jakości, ale ciekawie wieńczący album utwór EDM "Better Left Unsaid". Jest tutaj talent, ładny, mocny głos i trochę szkoda, że całość sypię się pod monotonną produkcją, miałkimi tekstami i katastrofalnymi występami gościnnymi miki i Sykesa.… Expand

    Para ser el album debut de Ariana Grande es un buen trabajo, claro se nota cierta inmadurez en algunas letras y muy poco trabajas pero tanto en ritmo y vocalmente el album destaca, incluyendo varias hermosas baladas pop.

    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?

    Arinana's debut album was spectacular. You would think that a nick star that's still pretty young would push out disgusting garbage that you'll never want to listen to after the first listen but surprisingly this album was an instant classic. It didn't have amazing lyrics but the beats of the songs were irresistible and the production was better than any pop album this year.

    "Yours Truly" is a strong debut album from Ariana Grande. While I enjoyed the majority of the album, my personal favourites are "Baby I" (when she stumbles to put her love for a crush into words), "Tattooed Heart" (when she wants to be with a guy), and "Piano" (when she sings about wanting to make a song that makes people want to dance).

I have to admit that this album is my least favorite out of all her albums. The songs are ok and well written . I have to give it to her for those amazing vocals of hers. I am happy that she is growing into a huge artist and that her first album did quite well with the charts and also sales.

    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".

    Ariana Grande's debut album is simply amazing. This album showcases Grande's strong voice and contains "catchy" pop songs infused with RnB. The Way and Piano are two amazing "bops", while Tattooed Heart, Baby I, Almost Is Never Enough lets Grande boast her powerful voice.

    Ariana Grande is truly an amazing vocalist, and her debut album was just amazing. It deserves the acclaim it got and the success it had. My personal favorite is Honeymoon Avenue, and the smash hit The Way.

    Ariana Grande is the voice of her generation and has such great talent for music. Her voice other than her vocal range, is beautiful most of the time throughout the album and the rest of the time is showcasing in singing abilities.

Her voice other than her vocal range, is beautiful most of the time throughout the album and the rest of the time is showcasing in singing abilities. 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

    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..

    Spectacularly catchy songs are the content of Ariana's debut, and the production is also top-notch albeit sometimes a tad bit too sweet and sugary. Grande's vocals are great and elevates her horrible lyricism into a more listenable state.

    This album is worth a purchase if you don't mind Ariana's terrible lyricism.

    Her vocals on this album are flawless. Also, the throwback but fresh and new style makes it so easy and relaxing to listen to. Tattooed Heart is one of her best songs ever, as well as Lovin It and You'll Never Know. A dazzling debut from a powerhouse vocalist.

    Ariana has an incredible voice and she delivers a stunning performance throughout the album, but that being said, it's not really my style.

    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.

    Yours Truly is a pleasurable experience: like seeing someone you've known for years in the street, or going to a birthday party like the ones you had as a kid, but with the exclusion of your drunk aunty.

However, after a few days, do you still fervently recall it? The party? The friend? Be honest; you wouldn't. That exactly sums up my feelings towards Yours Truly, a confident, well-produced throwback to 90's R&B with a little bit of doo-wop thrown into the mix for good measure. Whilst there's a few standout songs there (The Way, Baby I, Piano), the rest are agreeable, but nothing special, album fillers. However, there's an immense amount of heart and soul in there: the fact that Grande and her producers have been tweaking and singing and writing the songs as if their very lives depended on it is very prevalent. It left us expecting a great sophomore album. That didn't necessarily happen, the heart and soul replaced with a newly found corporate sheen and the R&B rhythms gone, and EDM beats instead sitting in its place. Ariana Grande has a fantastic voice, but both her first and second albums didn't reach their full potential. Here's hoping third time lucky, but now she's a stratospheric pop princess with worldwide hits like Problem or Break Free, corporate moguls who like to suck the life out of everything may prevail.… Expand

    当然，这依旧是一张好专辑，十分推荐你去听。    … Expand

    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.
