    It's a great album.
    Trae recuerdos de su álbum debut Yours Truly. The songs pov, just like magic and safety net are the best in the album.

    This album has definitely aged like milk. It's great that this was a passion project for Ariana over lockdown but compared to Dangerous Woman and thank u, next - this sounds lazy. Those albums had authenticity and signature hits, whereas positions sort of merges into one continuous song that you can't differentiate. It's a shame really, I'd say Ariana needs to take some time for AG7. ButThis album has definitely aged like milk.

    Ariana needs to learn to make the lyrics as beautiful as the melodies, her voice and the singing. She could hire better songwriters or learn how to write better, since she wants to have the "yuh" factor, the grace of Audrey Hepburn and all that we all adore (and so we want excellence from her).

    The concept is a huge great, she can truly express herself. And all tracks is genuinely awesome and catchy but the whole tracks won’t be long-last listened, and bit much repetitive. And idk i am much expect the tracks more seductive than bit innocent. I think this era quiet short for her.

    Incrível e maduro. Um álbum com um belo R&B, sem músicas chicletes, mas algo puro e louvável. Este álbum parece ter ainda mais da identidade de Grande, tornando-o mais singular e harmônico. Ariana da um grande salto em sua carreira, tornando-se eclética e poderosa, superando a nomenclatura de apenas "estrela pop".

    R&B it’s for Ariana. she had this tone that makes every song feel so special and the light tone that se brings... everything, soft.
    Lyrics are so so good and so fresh

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is amazing. Ariana really worked hard on this album and it shows. Her talent is unbelievable! Especially her whistle notes (for a while chorus!) in ‘my hair’. Ariana put so much love and thought into this album, to its cover to its well thought out collabs, she really hit it out of the park for me :))… Expand

    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.
