...About Ariana Grande

positions by ariana grande but (the album) this time.
if you’re reading this description, list your favorite ariana albums from favorite to least favorite in the comments 💫 i’m a sweetener stan and before you say anything i know i know 🙄 sweetener hasn’t always been well liked amongst fans, but it’s her most interesting album sonically and just one of her fully realized bodies of work from top to bottom.

[@fachryhafidzahmadi4925]

It's not even a full rnb

[@fachryhafidzahmadi4925]

IMO this is pop record flavored with trap, RnB, and a bit of classical strings. I called it string because it contains of strings instruments in classical, not fully classical. Positions (the album) is a POP Record. And some of the songs sounds like TUN leftovers.

[@aquariusss3981]

I would like to say respectfully that Ariana has not reached the level where she can really do whatever she wants. On a personal level, yes because she can do as she pleases as a human being and her fan base will always make her songs chart high. But as an artist, she hasn’t reached that peak. That’s more of people like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, etc. She’s been around for just 7 years.

[@FuddiDuddiS]

@@melliexcx yeah I can see your argument. I’m just saying that to her now I don’t think she cares as much if she charts or if she wins a Grammy (we know the tea on THAT already) she’s just gonna put out stuff regardless. I’m sure she thinks about what her fans will want and like but it’s not as big of a deal now as it might have been say Sweetener era. She just puts out what she likes first. TU, N was too much of a cultural reset to ever forget about her imo. it’s like Taylor’s 1989 album.

'The album could feel like a diary sometimes' Ariana has been saying she wanted to release albums as though they were diary entries. That she wants to look back at these projects and be like, wow, I was really in love at that point or wow, this really hurt me back then. for me, receiving so much in so little time does get overbearing and I do want time to miss her, but I love that she wants to be this personal or feel this liberated with us.

Jonathan no one is gonna fight you for your opinion, but for the most part you’re wrong. she doesn’t need to take a break to offer a constructive body of work, bc time within itself wont bring her good music- it’s all abt artist inspiration and production and ariana has a lot of artist inspiration. she takes works up her songs through personal experiences and her own feelings. if you didn’t like the album just say that and move on.

[@rashelreyes1880]

I don’t know why but in the bottom of my heart I have the slight feeling that even if Ariana doesn’t care too much about the charts and streams her team definitely does . I feel like she personally isn’t much about the charts and she just wants to make music for her fans or anyone who is willing to listen but I feel like her team wants otherwise . I feel like they want another My everything ( hits like problem , break free , one last time , and love me harder ) era or another Thank you next ( Hits like Thank you next , 7 rings , and Break up with your girlfriend, I’m bored ) . They promote her constantly and I feel like someone from her team leaked the names of the track list before Ariana could just to bring more attention to the album . At the end of the day it is difficult to say that an artist doesn’t care about charts and streams . Im sure that Ariana doesn’t care too much about it but it seems like a lot of people believed this album was a “ miss “ she never publicly said anything about that topic or how she felt about people thinking that this album was a “ miss “ but it must hurt because it’s something she worked hard on and they had limited recourses because she was in the middle of the pandemic and most work was done in her home . Too most people and the statistics it seems like this album under performed than most of her albums . It sold 174,000 album equivalent units ( it had much more demands for streaming platforms around 173.54 million stream) and 42,000 album sales in a week which to be honest people were making it out to be worse than it actual was a lot of people can’t even sale more than 1,000 - 2,500 albums in a week . But than again compared to thank you next that sold 360,000 equivalent units . Sweetner had 231,000 equivalent units , Dangerous woman had 175,000 equivalent units , This may come as a surprise but I believe my everything tops everything at 759,000 copies , and yours truly at 138,000 in its first week and as of 2019 Yours truly has sold 615,000 copies . So as you can see this album didn’t do as good as the others but I’m sure Ariana didn’t care too much but just as any other person I have a slight feeling she kinda hoped it would do better maybe not as good as my everything or thank you next but some what better but this is a still a good album I just feel like it wansnt promoted as much by Ariana more by her team. Plus today a lot of people are streaming instead of buying albums so I’m sure this album would’ve sold more if streaming wasn’t so popular.

[@corie01010]

I don’t understand why everyones mad with this album, Ariana was never one to try to make “deep” songs, music is like a diary to her so she writes and sings about whats happening in her life at that point in time. Shes in a point of life wheres shes happy and feels like shes finally met the one, idc how “bad” or “lacking” the music is as long as she enjoyed it and felt it was good enough to share with us. I personally loved Positions, its honestly no different from Yours Truly and shes been talking abt sex in her music for awhile now.

Male rappers and underground artists do it all the time, so I don't understand why it's different for a mainstream pop artist. But that's besides the point. I believe Ariana right now, is in her folklore phase where she is making music for her fans, specifically her R&B fans because I believe those fans are the most hardcore and dedicated in her fanbase. The album is REALLY good but it's not my favorite from her. Is it her BEST work to date? Debatable. Oh, and these are my favs off the album: POV, motive, shut up (THAT SONG IS SO FUNNY 🤣), off the table, my hair, and love language 💕

People say "Oh she will never top Sweetener or Thank you, next", bruh, she doesn't have to. Like you said, everyone expects this huge era and milestone with EVERY album she puts out. Maybe she just wanted to do a more chill album or whatever and that's totally fine. But oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@0104brit]

I do understand what u mean, she doesn't have to do eras if she doesn't want to. However, one of the most exciting things about pop music is watching the artist do eras (i.e. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna). Its just a part of the experience; that's what's missing in the music of today.

No the difference is all those albums had more than one hit. Timeless songs! each album feels like a different era even though they where released so close together. Even Rihanna’s looks for each album where completely different

[@ronip_baddiebarbzrihanna5083]

Rihanna's releases on albums every year were different, from sounds to content to her looks to embrace the era. She is probably the most versatile popstar ever. She has done every genre and made it her own and lots of her songs have lasted and stood the hands of time, Ariana hasn't had that yet. I like Sweetener and TUN more than this album. This album was like the Charlie's Angel's soundtrack, feeding into what was recently the most successful sound and not really venturing out. Sweetener needed to happen so TUN could happen, but then other than Rain on Me with Gaga, everything is pop trap with hints of R&B, no real artistic growth. I'm happy she is living her best life and realising music she likes, but if your an artist and just releasing the same sounds, what really are you doing? She's already made plenty songs that sound like this album. It was disappointing., but kudos to her for being consistent.

@@simply7teen_495 I'm glad I'm the only one who looked at it like that. Rihanna and Ariana are on 2 different levels when it comes to music and longevity and impact. I do like them both, but RIhanna is a great example of a versatile artist and engineering the music industry in the way she has, she doesn't stick to one sound, all of her albums sound different with the exception of the first 2 because they were more Caribbean pop/r&b, but she has progressed and influenced music dramatically like so many before her, but she always grows with her music and never tries to go on what was successful before, she takes risks, I don't think Ariana has really taken a risk sonically because all of her music has been pop/r&b, pop/trap, pop/edm and pop/jazz. Sweetener is probably Ariana's only album that tried to do something progressive sonically and while I like Sweetener I can see why some fans didn't, but that was probably her most versatile sounding album, everything else even the Charlies angles soundtrack was like her old music. I think Ariana is returning to form and just using what is popular today, she has never really set any trends, she follows them and does them her way and kudos to her for being very good at it.

For big pop artists, I think we keep expecting every single album to be a ground breaking moment, but it feels like Ariana just recorded some songs to release since she enjoys making music. To me, most of them sound like the same song (catchy, but roughly the same subject matter and type of sound), and a few like my hair and pov stand out, but overall it's just a good release that follows the same branding she's already established from sweetener and tun.

I have a feeling ppl are actually just lying about how sexual this album is. Most of the songs aren't even sexual. Six thirty is a metaphor . She is asking the guy if he is down for a relationship. Just bcz the lyrics could have a sexual meaning doesn't mean it does. Only actual sex song was 34+35 . Others are mostly about love, relationship and being together .

[@mandarinpotatis6619]

And nasty

[@st4rlightt_]

Exactly.

[@lins2hot]

exactly like the most sexual songs on their is mainly nasty and 34+35 meanwhile dangerous woman had so many more sexual songs. but why should it even matter its her music and shes an adult she should be able to sing about whatever she wants

[@rashelreyes1880]

Well 34+35 is a metaphor for a $ex position. If you don’t get it that’s what the song positions is about switching $ex positions for this person ( I’m guessing it dalton ) Nasty also presented this topic very explicitly. Now can I say not every song is about sexual moments. POV is about her loving herself like her lover loves her . Safety net is about falling in love and being scared. Off the table is about feeling love again but not being sure because you have been through so much it’s like love is off the table . I’m going to have to disagree with honest on this one Just like magic is about fame and Fortune. I like to think of it as a life philosophy we’re if you let life do it’s thing everything will come back together slowly just like magic. Motive is seeing what is your lovers interest in you . I would say this is not her most explicit album. I mean songs like everyday , make up , side to side , and bloodline represent that this clearly isn’t the first time she has said and talked about very sexual topics in her songs . But I do think that she tried to cover it up more in those songs compared to 34+35 The lyrics “ Can you stay up all night F**k me till the day light 34 + 35 “ Makes it very easy to tell what the meaning of the song is. But song like side to side might not be as explicitly explained as 34+35. If you watch the music video for side to side I think you can get the message. But just listening to the audio might make it more difficult. Somebody once asked on Twitter what the song side to side meant. Another person responded that it meant you were sore from $ex and Ariana liked the post . My point is this is not her most sexual album as she has mentioned these things in the past but , some songs in this album are more explicitly explained and worded than other songs she’s made in the past. Which is were people are getting the idea that this is her more Sexual album.

As i go through listening to the album, It makes me reminisce all of her previous records which i think is great, The lyricism is much more like in Dangerous woman, the Production really gives off Sweetener vibes, Her light and high vocal delieveries reminds me of her Yours truly era, The variation of songs kinda reminds me of My everything but it has that vulnerability like Thank u, next had. Overall i think this is her best record to date, some may not agree, but i'll stick with my opinion and reference, It just made me fall inlove with her catalog more and more.

[@gaiaa2428]

I mean, it's a cute, light album. But I think that with her talent she could explore a lot more. Most of her songs are trap-ish, catchy but forgettable. I'd love to hear a bit more of R&B, slow stuff, low notes etc. But I'm still gonna listen to this album hehe

Not Ariana insinuating that rappers can just release music without promotion and make hits and she can’t, as if her army of fans won’t buy whatever she puts out. It has taken a very long time for rap artists to find their way into the mainstream and even to this day, many are not considered pop artists - just “urban.”

[@shelby9510]

Yea I don’t understand her explanation. Even rappers take their time creating their albums, ie Kendrick Lamar who’s one of the best musician of this generation. My problem with Ariana grande is what she releases doesn’t match her talent. She’s so talented but her production is soo boring and doesn’t challenge her vocally.

Personally I’m a big Arianator but i loved the album but not too much, I enjoyed some tracks really well but then some songs just felt like filler to me.

Same. Some songs were just there and didn't do anything for me. I feel like she needs 2-3 years break or the general public will get bored.

[@lenaertsjelke]

As a long time Ariana fan this album just felt good after Thank U, Next & Sweetener. On both of those albums it was obvious she was hurting and going through a difficult time (especially TUN, but Sweetener als has its moments). However, on this album you can really tell she's happy again and just overall in a good place, while still showing that the events she sung about on her previous two album still affect her. She deserves to be happy and in love the way she is now after the past couple of years she had and overall I just really enjoyed this album. Yes, it isn't her best but you can tell she put her all in those songs. Most just won't recognize it because for an artist to put themselves in a song nowadays it means the song has to be heartbreaking and about trauma. I loved the fact that happiness was just the overall theme of this album.

[@newlenahs6251]

I'm not a fan of her music, I only listened to the whole album because my friend was disappointed by it, so I wanted to check it out myself. In general it was OK. The first half/few songs bored me so so much. Everything genuinely sounded the same to me, and I want expecting more of the second half, but I like the second half. Some songs were really cool, my favorites were probably 'my hair', and 'pov', and I enjoyed the second half! I didn't love any songs, but it had its enjoyable songs and moments! I'm really happy for her and the fans seem to generally enjoy the album, so I'm happy it's out :)

i get what people mean when they say that the songs on positions “sounds the same” but i like the fact that the album is super cohesive, it makes it more personal in my opinion. there’s a lot of albums where songs are just thrown on there randomly and feel out of place- there’s not a single song like that on this album, it’s like a story. i think she mastered this with sweetener and tun as well. plus, ariana stans have been waiting so long for a more r&b sound from her, and this didn’t disappoint. it’s different than her past albums but still has that “ariana brand” to it. i think ariana has grown so much as a person/artist and she shows that with each new album- i think people need to realize that (and move on from her past generic pop sound) in order to fully appreciate positions

[@andrewstuart5902]

Yeah… and if she had released an album “where songs are just thrown on there randomly” you would have said something like “I like the versatility of this album and how every song surprises you because it’s not predictable at all, there’s a lot of albums where songs sound kind of the same and they end up being boring and monotonous” 🙃

Or throb, warmth, or would you mind by Janet. or Britney touch of my hand or breathe on me. The album feels rushed and half baked. The songs aren’t as well written as they should be.

You got Six Thirty completely wrong. It’s not as much of a sexual song as you are portraying it to be and the messaging isn’t about climaxing lol. It’s literally about her love interest being “down” just like the hands are on the clock @ 6:30. It’s the transition in the album story of her finally feeling confident about the way she feels and making sure he does too. She makes numerous comparisons to things that are/go down. Sunsets, her head on his chest, her foot on the gas, etc. It’s a fun song about the person she loves making her feel good and going through that phase of a relationship when she’s ready to give it her all
