    Although it shouldn’t be a short time of production as the way to evaluate the quality of an album. But the disappointing quality of the album does make it feel like Ari needs more time to complete this.

    pov is the best of this album

    Ótimo álbum, um dos melhores dela sem dúvidas sabe porque?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly I love this album, it is well produced vocally and in instrumentals, she served vocals and tried to differentiate it from other albums, but it still hasn't left her comfort zone, as it sinned in tracks that deserved much more as a "safety net", "west side" and "love language". Anyway, we cannot deny that she served VOCALS, taking as examples of this the various powerful whistles that she managed to execute in tracks like "my hair", "positions", "nasty" and even "safety net". even though it was pleasant for me, unfortunately the album has very few tracks that please EVERYONE at the beginning, for example I didn’t sympathize with several tracks, and today I really like them, I think it must be a matter of listening multiple times. Anyway, with that I finish my honest review of the album (I am 100% aware that my opinion is very different from the opinion of other people because I am a fan of Ariana.)… Expand

    I've never been a big Ariana fan, but damn this album is a masterpiece. This is hands down her best project so far. It's so mature and cohesive, and her vocals are on another level. People who expect a DW 2.0 might be quite disappointed, but this is not an immediate album. it has zero bangers and requires time to be fully appreciated and understood, and that's why I love it so much.

    This just doesn’t do it for me. At this point, I don’t expect Ariana to be putting out lyrical masterpieces, but I figured she’d at least branch out and do something a little different this time around. I was wrong. So very wrong. There are only a couple of songs that I’d go back and listen to again; most of it is just boring. It’s like discount TUN. I wish Ariana would put more effortThis just doesn’t do it for me.

This album was beautiful.

    Lyrically, the album is extremely clever, with the double enteandres managing to uplift both the more risqué songs along with the deeper tracks as well. The honesty and vulnerability displayed in this album does a great job of generating relatibility. From the endearing lyrics of pov,, to the brutally hones ones of 'shut up', you can't help but love the honesty of it all.

    Musically, Ariana and her producers managed to do something absolutely masterful. The ever present violins grounding each sing and string together the variety of sounds used. The actual songs themselves are nothing to scoff at either. From the scintillating sound of 'just like magic' to the hauntingly beautiful sounds of "safety net": everything is great. Speaking of......

    The features on this album did a phenomenal job. Doja's verse on 'motive' added new flavour to the song. Ty Dolla seemed to perfectly read exactly what 'safety net' needed, and managed to compliment Ariana's voice almost as well as the Weeknd. Which brings me to the final feature track. "Off the table is what many a musician would consider a masterpiece. The simple arrangement only aids this song, where the vocals are the driving factor. The lyrical back and forth created is both genius and melancholic in meaning. The lyrics are then amplified by a awe inspiring vocal showcase from Ari.

    Before listening to the album I was expecting a pop album, but the musics are much more R&B than anything. It was a very good surprise, the album lost points because all the musics are almost the same, they have the same pace, the same rhythm, the same vibe, and this factor was a bit disappointing. It is a good album, not the best, but a good one

    Ariana has matured throughout her musical journey, and it is evident in this album alone. Though some say that since this album talks about sex in a negative light, I believe we all should view it as a normal, and natural, part of life. Ariana speaks about love, sex, and loss in this album in the most beautiful and refreshing way.

    This album is also more down-tempo than her other works, and it's a pleasant escape from everything that's going on. This album is also beautifully cohesive and vastly experimental. Some standout tracks of this album are "just like magic", a trap-pop song that speaks about Ariana spreading happiness, love, and light to everything she does while also pulling reference to the Law of Attraction— "34+35", a playful trap-pop song backed with exciting strings that explicitly plays around the 69 position— and lastly, but certainly not least: the gorgeous "my hair", an R&B song that sounds like it was taken from the past. Ariana sings about her iconic and well-known hair, while also showcasing her ethereal whistle registry.

    It's evident that Ariana put a lot of soul and effort into this album, resulting in one of the best albums put out this year.    … Expand

    as much as i enjoyed songs like 34 + 35, west side, obvious, pov, etc.. i feel as if the album lacks a good hook for most of the songs, causing it to feel a bit mediocre. overall, still a good album, not her best but still doesn’t deserve the high criticism.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ella es una artista muy talentosa, considero que su voz salvó el álbum, pero todo lo pierde con esos ritmos repetitivos que tiene, y con un intento forzado de R&B. Empecemos, "motives" es un Be Alright (AG) y Wild Beach (DC) 2.0, igual considero que este es el mejor del álbum por lo pegajoso y las vibras pop que lleva; pov suena un repetitivo soundtrack de algún programa de niños, o sea que tiene las características de una canción de por ejemplo, la serie en donde estaba. En nasty se nota que los silbidos son innecesarios y sólo un intento de presumir sus vocales; "off the table" es un Earned It 2.0, realmente dejo mucho que desear cuando todos esperaban un Love Me Harder 2.0 al menos. Positions tiene una letra nula con un ritmo más o menos pegajoso, su vídeo sí fue arte, pero la canción nada que ver. 34+35 y just like magic también son buenas pero sus letras y los ritmos que al principio te gustan y al final te llegan a aburrir es lo que malogra estas canciones. Shut up tiene un buen ritmo, buen vocal, parece un soundtrack de alguna película para niños otra vez, mi segunda canción favorita del álbum, a pesar que casi toda la canción es Ariana diciendo shuuuuuuut upppp. Thank you, next fue bueno, pero esta canción a pesar de eso, parece ser un álbum de los descartes de TUN, y malogra toda la estética, ni su portada ayuda, sólo los vocales y que al principio te gustan las canciones pero en la mitad ya te aburren. ¡Una pena que desperdicien un talento así!… Expand

    definitely one of Ariana's best albums. it has innovated and matured a lot since "thank u, next". Positions is not a crumbly pop album like others out there. I really loved this album, all the tracks are perfect!

    Um algo muito bem organizado, direto com sua proposta, arranjos vocais bem posicionados, letras maduras que seguem os seus álbuns anteriores como uma triologia de ari (SWT,TUN,PST), um álbum que não vem com hits prontos é mais uma apreciação de seus vocais e a bela orquestra sem perder a linha de raciocínio de seus antecessores talvez não agrade todo público por ser uma proposta diferenteUm algo muito bem organizado, direto com sua proposta, arranjos vocais bem posicionados, letras maduras que seguem os seus álbuns anteriores como uma triologia de ari (SWT,TUN,PST), um álbum que não vem com hits prontos é mais uma apreciação de seus vocais e a bela orquestra sem perder a linha de raciocínio de seus antecessores talvez não agrade todo público por ser uma proposta diferente de que ariana é acostumada a entregar, mas vale a pena escutar mais de uma vez e conseguir se adaptar a esse universo totalmente diferente.… Expand

    Everything Ariana did on this album was taken from her previous works, except now she is lacking the skill of being discrete on sexual topics. It's a power move on one hand to be confident about the body and sex life, but the writing depended on these themes too much, resulting in repetition and laziness.

    She'll never change. Her albums are atrocious. The only thing she has is vocals. Didn't like one song from this project.

    Ariana proving that she doesn’t need to do a single sticky pop song (which we love) to deliver a quality material. Her vocals are greater than ever, the melodies are tasteful and soothing and all that combined with the +18 lyrics. GREAT JOB

    Her vocals are exceptional as always but over all the album is a bore. Tracks blend together and it's missing her usual punch that gets people coming back.

    “Unforgettable pop”....I’m sorry but that’s not what this is. This is timeless RnB. She is no longer making music for clout, she’s making music for herself. You can hear that this album is coming from such a genuine place, just like Thank U, Next. It’s very different, but to say it’s bad is beyond me. It’s just a different vibe and, in my opinion, her best yet.

    My least favourite Ariana Grande album. Too genereic, repetitive and apart from 2,3 songs none will stay for longer in my playlist

    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.
