    Fifteen tracks that put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Production duties were granted primarily to Pharrell Williams, allowing Ariana to explore a more experimental sound, but honestly, her voice is so strong, it’s hard to imagine a genre it wouldn’t suit.

One of the noticeably powerful tracks on the album is "Breathin", with every element needed for a Pop hit, this song is most likely to be one of the smash hits of this era. "God is a woman", "No Tears Left To Cry" and "The Light Is Coming" are all strong tracks, although the last one may sound strange for some. "R.E.M", "everytime", "get well soon" and "better off" may be some of the most favorable tracks, with "better off" being the only ballad on the album, but a powerful one. Overall, this album may just be the best Pop album of the year and definitely one of Ariana's bests so far along with her previous project "Dangerous Woman".… Expand

    There are some moments on the album but in the most part it falls flat. I don't think most of the tracks have any replay value

    Seu trabalho mais maduro,inivador e um divisor de aguas na carreira,grande prova ser uma ex act muito a frente de seu tempo deixando o pop comercial de lado e refuzindo a uma mera influencia no album que se destaca pela mistura de r&b suave,um dos melhores do ano.

    I get that she's trying different genres of music, and I'm hear for it but this isn't it lol There is no song in this album that stood out for me, production was all over the place, her vocals on point as always. lyrically it wasn't there either, I feel that some songs didn't suit her voice and it felt forced????

    Beyond the singles, there are perhaps three songs on the album that I have consistently enjoyed regardless of how many listens. I have added an extra point in order to show that I respect Ariana's experimentation. However, the simple fact is that I don't enjoy the album.

I found the Pharrell-produced songs to be messy and difficult to listen to. I don't think the album is bad per say but I had high expectations for Ariana and have found Sweetener to be overrated by reviewers and publications. Grande's vocals remain gorgeous, smooth and soft although her enunciation remains unclear on some songs. The structure of some songs is also messy and the songwriting is poor with very little complexity to some songs. Particular praise must be extended to no tears left to cry, god is a woman, raindrops, breathin which carry the album. Comparatively, the light is coming, blazed, successful, sweetener and borderline are just messy and a disappointment, particularly considering Ariana's considerable talent.… Expand

    Apparently, a pastel album is everything I've ever wanted. Once again, the standouts this era were produced and/or written by Max Martin, Ilya, and Savan Kotecha.

    Ariana Grande mais uma vez provou que é uma artista completa e versátil com “Sweetener”. Compôs, produziu e mostrou vocais poderosos de uma maneira jamais feita pela princesa do pop, assumiu riscos indo para um lado mais R&B e se desafiou artisticamente. Grande saiu de sua zona de conforto e nos deu uma coleção de musicas lindas dentro de um contexto coeso, sem decepcionar nenhuma vez.

    Two years after the release of her monumental third studio album, "Dangerous Woman", Ariana Grande is back with a fourth album that is solid, not quite as accomplished nor nearly as perfectly-crafted as its precedent.

    After the beautiful acapella opener 'raindrops', "Sweetener" starts to find Grande experimenting with broader sounds than she did with her previous projects, teaming up    Two years after the release of her monumental third studio album, "Dangerous Woman", Ariana Grande is back with a fourth album that is solid, not quite as accomplished nor nearly as perfectly-crafted as its precedent.

    After the beautiful acapella opener 'raindrops', "Sweetener" starts to find Grande experimenting with broader sounds than she did with her previous projects, teaming up with Pharrell Williams to create urban trap/hip-hop productions that turn out to not always work for her: 'blazed' for instance is so dull and monotonous, 'the light is coming' with Nicki Minaj, even though a grower, is nevertheless the weakest collaboration the two artists released, the title-track feels like a three-tracks-in-one all-over-the-place mess, and 'successful' is forgettable and doesn't live up to its title. However, not all the Pharrell-assisted tracks are a miss: the closer, 'get well soon' is a beautiful rendition to the Manchester terrorist attack and to the fans, and it sounds like it could fit perfectly on her debut, "Yours Truly".

    What is very noticeable about this record, is that its second half is way better than its first. The album truly starts to shine when Ariana ditches the trappy experimental sounds, and goes back to her power-pop gems with tracks like 'breathin', 'God is a woman' (which is one of the absolute best tracks Grande has ever released), and 'everytime'. She gets vulnerable on other highlight 'better off' and puts her beautiful pipes to use on the beautiful 'goodnight n go'.

    "Sweetener" may not live up to the greatness of "Dangerous Woman", which will forever stand as the pinnacle in Grande's career, but it sure has a bunch of songs to not be slept on.    … Expand

    The talent that is inside this album is really something that deserves high recognition. Pharell really produced the **** out of this record and Max Martin is still an undeniable hit maker as always. Breathin was amazing as well as the title track Sweetener.

    Very cohesive. It's more of my preference musically. It's great that she's doing something different from the usual sound that the general public usually knows her for, but is still very much "her". Lyrically, she sings more about her feelings and other topics and not just sing about love. While not all tracks are..."worthy", it's still an overall good album.

    I didn't felt it as a good or bad album, it's just something neutral. It has a couple of big hits and a couple of meaningful songs, but it's mostly full of forgettable songs. Also, I didn't felt it as Ariana's style, this was more Pharrell's style.

    Sweetener finds an Ariana with the eagerness to experiment and explore her "artist" side, much like her idol Imogen Heap (sampling her in Goodnight n Go), while preserving her Pop Star persona, therefore forgetting that experimenting entails walking through uncharted terrain, in which Sweetener rarely strays.

It is noticeable that in the cuts produced by Ilya and Pop deity Max Martin (God Is A Woman and Breathin) we can hear an Ariana that is comfortable and secure of her singing abilities (preserving the sound she experimented with in Dangerous Woman), while she feels somehow drowned in the songs produced by Pharrell Williams, overtaking much of Ariana's identity as a singer in spite of the impeccable production.

    Some amazing bops on the album such as 'get well soon', 'goodnight n go', 'R.E.M.' and of course her powerful single, 'God is a woman'. You can definitely find a mix of all her past albums in this album.

    Some songs like 'successful', 'borderline' and 'sweetener' fell a little under my expectations however. 'sweetener' had a beautiful pre-chorus until the 'rapping' part came in and destroyed it into sounding like a Kidz Bop track.

    And also, the man in the background of 'the light is coming' should've been removed. It pains me because that song would've been great without it.    … Expand

    Eu nunca escutei algo parecido! O album emociona de todas as formas possíveis.
    Eu esperava algo maravilhoso da melhor voz da década, mas ela me trouxe algo maior ainda. QUE BOM QUE VIVO NA MESMA ÉPOCA DESSA GRANDE ARTISTA!!!!

    SEM DÚVIDAS ARIANA INOVOU MAS NÃO CONSEGUIU UM BOM RESULTADO, INFELIZMENTE FICOU HORRÍVEL!

    Her best body of work to date from the lyrics, to the beats, to the vocals. Everything about this album is FANTASTIC. Sweetener is truly the album of the millennium. I'm so proud.

    Esse álbum é algo divino, pois não só é bom, mas também é a doce resposta da Ariana Grande a respeito de seu grande sofrimento em Manchester, respondendo dor com Amor

    Um dos seus melhores e mais a maduro trabalhos, muito coeso também, vocais impecáveis, teve a pegada de r&b na medida certa, felizmente segue sendo a maior de sua geração PRINCESA DO POP KLRHH

    Este álbum sem dúvidas expressa tudo o que Ariana queria passar, e tudo que ela estava sentindo antes, vemos músicas totalmente diferentes do que ela já fez, e isso foi bom, ela respira um novo ar, como se estivesse em casa novamente..

    Pharrell didn't make the album (actually I would say any album) better. His participation does not fit into what Ariana is good at.

    Sweetener, for me, didn't fail to amaze me; it is everything I expected (and more) from Ariana. It is personal and experimental, totally unconventional, which I love. Obviously, the songs we're already familiar with (No Tears Left To Cry, The Light Is Coming, and God Is A Woman) continue to be favourites from the album.

    Ariana traz seu álbum mais aguardado até agora, que, além de surpreender na sonoridade, fascina sobre como enfrentar diversos problemas, como o Ataque em Manchester e suas crises de ansiedade. Seu álbum mais pessoal é também o seu melhor trabalho

    sweetener, in this work Ariana showed that she is ahead of her time doing remarkable and iconic things, the video of GIW Ariana showed that she can go beyond clips that only talk about relationships. Miley, Selena and much less Demi does not have the maturity and efficiency to create a job as incredible and as different as the sweetener. My congratulations, Ariana Grande. but the onlysweetener, in this work Ariana showed that she is ahead of her time doing remarkable and iconic things, the video of GIW Ariana showed that she can go beyond clips that only talk about relationships.

    Grande’s new sound, the Williams-produced Not-Bangers, only make up half of the album. These standout tracks are interspersed between standard pop tracks. ... That’s not to say that the Bangers on Sweetener are bad--it’s more that they belong in previous era of Grande and they spoil the flow between songs. Sweetener may not be the dawning of a new age for Ariana but it could be a step towards somewhere weird and wonderful.

    Ms. Grande backs up her statements with song-and-dance mastery. ... She’s her own choir, support group and posse. While a few guest vocalists (Mr. Williams, Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott) provide a little grit for contrast, Ms. Grande sails above any fray, past or present. Her aplomb is her triumph.

    An album that coheres in a way other Ariana Grande albums don't, which means Sweetener is something of a double triumph: she's come through a tough time stronger and better than before.
