    Icônico!
    Ariana explora novas sonoridades, passeando por referência Trap e Hip-hop, ainda mantendo sua base no pop. Com composições realistas, ela mostra que a vida pode ser dura, mas que podemos gritar de peito cheio e celebrar a vida. Revigorante, genial e bem construído. A fórmula do sucesso (?)

    talking in billie’s words: Thank u, next brings some **** Ariana’s 5 album is smash and probably the peak of her career. The production of this album is a masterpiece. However, some songs seems very similar, but generally it’s incredible. A very positive point: Fake Smile is one of the best Ariana’s songs.

    My least favourite from Ariana. Very dull musically and not as impressive vocally as her other albums. The more personal and vulnerable lyrics are overshadowed by the overly-minimalistic cheeky production that repeats itself on most tracks.

    This is album is basic for an 'aoty' nomination. There's some good songs, but most of the album sounds uncreative, boring and generic. It's not a trash, but still not gold, she can do more. The melancholy songs are the best part, but the whole album sounds repetitive.

    Sweetener was a great album. But this one is her opus. Current, cohesive, playful, melancholy, understated, and refined, Grande’s “thank u next” is a Millennial masterpiece. The heartbreaking “ghostin” is possibly the best song she has given us to date, and “break up with your girlfriend, im bored,” is the Twitter-era, penthouse-jam we need in 2019.

    Ariana managed to do a good job within everything she went through in her life. But presenting something sticky like the title track and later presenting bankrupt urbans like 7 rings may present some noises in its aesthetics.

    Best tracks: Needy and Ghostin
    Worst Tracks: Make Up and 7 Rings

    Thank U, Next amazed me. Like Sweetener, it is a personal and experimental album filled with emotional songs. However, it takes on a more darker tone overall in a similar vein to tracks like Better Off and Breathin from Sweetener - and that's not a bad thing at all.

    Favourites include the highly emotional Ghostin, a real tearjerker with its deeply personal lyrical content, Ariana's

    Favourites include the highly emotional Ghostin, a real tearjerker with its deeply personal lyrical content, Ariana's emotional vocals, and the haunting production; and Fake Smile, a song filled with honesty about revealing her vulnerability, which she hid with a fake smile, her vulnerable-sounding vocals over a minimal production. Other standouts include Imagine, NASA, and Bloodline.

    Overall, Thank U, Next is a cohesive album filled with honesty and vulnerability. It displays Ariana Grande at yet another high point in her music, and I have no doubt she will have more of them.

Taylor Swift for "reputation" layered vocals and instruments to make a deep and layered production while Ariana prioritized shorter sessions at the cost of meh instrumentals and almost 0 vocal layering. I think it's a good album but is it as good as the critics lead on? No way. It's a step up from "Sweetener" but still fails to capture the magic that Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry can make.

This is some new “trap” blackfisher that is somehow, amazingly, getting away with this garbage and having people praise it as her best. If this is ongoing sympathy for her extremely difficult circumstances these past few years, it’s not doing her musical legacy any favors. Everything here is so trendy that it’s stale by the time you’re done listening to it. Nothing authentic or timeless.

    Ariana: you can do so much better. And you’re a singer, so stop whispering and talking throughout four minutes of a song just because it’s trendy. You’re sufficiently talented to set trends rather than follow them.

    Ariana has been evolving since Dangerous Woman, but this time she is totally stuck, her predecessor Sweetener sounded cheerful, funny and full of life, instead thank u, next is totally the opposite, gloomy, depressing, sad, for boring moments and flat, like his was the B side.

It's a shame that she's going for this musical style and not exploring other areas a little more pop. The first part and the final part of the album is the only thing that can be rescued, everything else sounds like filler songs that were recorded in a day without any concern that they sound good or have some degree of quality, it would seem that most of the songs are demos or unfinished models. I would not say it's bad, it's just mediocre and it's sad, after 2 good albums that it has released. "thank u, next". Expand

    One of the best albums of his career without a doubt, and the most iconic one full of sincere songs and with great instrumentals, each song reflects a different feeling and at the same time, they have the same essence except for "Break up with your girlfriend I'm bored.

    Um álbum perfeito, uns dos melhores de sua carreira. Quanto esse quanto o anterior "Sweetener" são uma "obras-primas" álbuns totalmente coessos que significam muito para Grande. Simplesmente perfeito. Grande se consolida mais ainda na indústria!

    O melhor álbum dela até hoje. As músicas são reais e verdadeiras, falam sobre situações ruins que ela conseguiu transformar em lindas músicas. Apaixonada.

    Ariana opens up her heart in this album. This is the reason why almost all songs seem very familiar to ordinary people. Sound of this album contains pop and a little bit hip hop. Actually, it's sounds perfectly. Only "make up" is extra here, the album can live on without this song. However, we don't concentrate our attention on it as sound.

    This is her best body of work! Every song have great lyrical content, and they work together; they tell a story. Ariana Grande has shown her side of vulnerability, yet making it her own strength through these amazing songs!

    Um dos melhores álbuns do ano, Ariana se encontra em um grande momento musical, e o Thank u, next não se desviou nem um pouco disso. Seus incríveis vocais, se misturam a letras mais sensuais ou até mais tristes do que os seus antecessores, e conta com uma produção e arranjos impecáveis. A cada trabalho de Grande, ela mostra se superar mais e mais.

    Occasionally, rarely, a record comes along that restores our faith. If this is the future of pop-music, then sign me up.

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
