    Ariana no sale de su zona de comodidad, aunque es un álbum cohesivo en su mayoría, aburre un poco con líricas un poco clichés y un sonido repetitivo y plano en algunos aspectos. Un retroceso en comparación con Thank U Next

No artistic growth, vulgar lyrics, trendy and generic beats, all songs sound the same. Ariana is a talented nice girl but she's been going downhill this year, first she collaborated with fading artists and now this.… Expand

The album cover is also super boring and old! I would recommend “Rare” by Selena Gomez or “Folklore” by Taylor Swift instead… Expand

    This album is some of her best work! Between the vocals, songwriting, and melodies, every song brings something new to the table but they also stay cohesively tied together to the album theme and sound. This might actually be my favourite album she’s put out yet!

    Ariana trouxe neste novo álbum uma perspectiva mais sexy, mas ao mesmo tempo delicada. Sim, concordemos com as críticas das quais dizem não ser sua melhor produção, mas também concordemos que Ariana, em nenhum momento, deixou de lado a sua Grande criatividade. My hair e Six Thirty, de longe, são as músicas mais expressivas do trabalho. Uma intro foi muito bem selecionada com shut up.Ariana trouxe neste novo álbum uma perspectiva mais sexy, mas ao mesmo tempo delicada.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ariana Grande managed for two years to achieve what few achieved: to score on two albums, being a Grammy winner and the supreme sum of her career, sweetener.
    Perhaps due to lack of planning or the catharsis of the public to expect something more or something superior to the two previous albums, whose receptions and audience were what leveraged and prioritized her as the "Princess of pop" - even though pop was only in the era sweetener.
    thank u, next has a trap style and few songs of the genre that Ariana is used to: pop and R&B, such as bloodline music.
    On this album, given her versatility, she returns to R&B - the same as her first albums - and guarantees nothing more and nothing less than a dead album, as it was in her time in "dangerous woman" - where most of the songs were from other composers - and their debut album.
    Ariana is no different than she was in the 2013/2015 season: she just lost the shine of 2018/2019.
    positions in short words would be this: reheated of songs that talk about sex, futility, lust and in the end, almost dead, comes the final track "pov", the only intimate one - which serves no purpose, as it remains the same void of the album .
    To say that this is good ... Well, it is not. It is one of the worst jobs, exactly because it has so much expectation and the talent that this girl has.
    But not everything is critical: love language is great. It has a certain aura of "sweetener" and is better than many of "thank u, next" - which, unfortunately, gets to be horrible for repetition (I think Ariana is fascinated in repeated and ordinarily bad title tracks) -.
    However, even though the album is a bit complicated to hear - both due to the power and repeated chords - Ariana managed to do a good job "on the fly".    … Expand

    Same repetitive hooks no artistic growth, seems like tun tracks that didn't make to the album. Literally her worst album.

    This album is saving this year. The vocals, the production, the whistles notes, the collabs are perfect. Pov is my favorite one, beautiful lyrics and beautiful orchestra

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An excellent album from start to finish, Ariana together with her team gives us an incredible experience with her vocals, exceptional production, strong and consistent messages, the whole album shows us an independent woman trying to control all the problems she faces and willing to love, Ariana never disappoints with her work, and this is no exception, defensively one of her best albums , she bet on the R&B and succeeded.… Expand

    Es un álbum demasiado bueno, tanto en los mensajes que dan las letras, tanto en el instrumental de cada canción y por supuesto en los vocales.
    Ariana Grande ha sabido manejar este álbum muy bien y nos demuestra que es una artista versátil y completa.

    Where is the artistic growth? sure the same melodies and harmonies placed on top of more melodies and harmonies are doable for the first couple of albums, but it is getting tiring. This album provides nothing fresh, nothing spectacular and I like Ari but she's just milking the same old beats and sounds, and for what? money-making? staying "relevant" there is no growth at all and I don'tWhere is the artistic growth? sure the same melodies and harmonies placed on top of more melodies and harmonies are doable for the first couple of albums, but it is getting tiring.

    Muito chato sem nenhuma mensagem nenhum conceito parece exatamente as mesmas músicas ja lançados antes de outros álbuns, nada de novo, apenas músicas novas e chatas

    Grande is making no effort to be discreet, instead explicitly owning her sexuality—the album is called Positions, after all. The juxtaposition of beautiful violin sounds and risqué lyrics has become one of Grande’s signature sounds, and it suits her well.

    Grande laid bare may well be seen as a stopgap in her canon, using taboo to checkmate her past trauma, but it does pull off the rare feat of at least sounding effortless.

    With little conflict and few psychological insights, Positions zeroes in on the enviable confidence that only pop stars on top of the world and with nothing to lose can afford. It's easy to write it off as empty calories, but pop has always been described in such terms: cake, candy, chocolate, confection. Positions isn't a "sweetener" but pure sugar.
