She took the best melodic structures from "Sweetener", mashed them together with the production of "Positions" and you get "Eternal Sunshine". I'm so happy she ditched the bare bone production from "Thank U Next", I cannot grasp why that album is so beloved by so many people. I loved the title track of that album and "Bad Idea" but the rest just never clicked for me; I think she's in her best element when she's doing music like this. It's literally soothing for the soul to listen to.

Tbh, after listening to 'yes and?', I didn't have high hopes for this album. I was worried we were going to get positions 2.0 (while not a bad album, it does feel very flat). But, I was pleasantly surprised! I really like how she explores the complex emotions that come with leaving a relationship and moving on, through a lens of self-love and maturity. (Honesty, this album feels like a more mature and less petty version of Thank You Next.)

This album kinda blew my mind and put all her previous work in a new context. It’s not that her old stuff is bad now, but I think Eternal Sunshine revealed that a consistent vision was really missing on her previous albums. Most of her album (sans TUN to an extent) feel like a collection of great songs, while this feels like an ALBUM, yknow? Sweetener was my favorite record of her prior to this and while I still love it, it’s so all over the place tonally and stylistically, and while ES has a lot of variety too it’s strung together with a more cohesive sonic vision. I also think her writing has significantly improved and her vocals on this are easily her best. Overall this is the most down to earth and human thing she’s ever done, and I think a lot of people might not get it at first but the vision of this thing will endure over time.
@EljohnMacaranas10 ай бұрын
I think Eternal Sunshine is the first time she really sat down and conceptualized something front to back as a whole. Like SWT and TU,N were very on the fly and influenced by real life events that more or less caused her to pivot. ES only really had the whole like Ethan drama shaping Yes and? as a misrepresentation of the record and a fakeout lead. I think more people would have recognized or been hyped if We Can’t Be Friends or another track was the lead. But still as a record, it’s honestly the first work she’s had that IMHO I did not skip around/reorder on the first day.
@42elina10 ай бұрын
WHAT A BANGER! I wasn't that optimistic after yes, and ngl, but she came through with possibly the best album of her career. I had no idea Max Martin was producing, but I could feel his presence all through that middle section. The streak from eternal sunshine to the boy is mine is one of the best in her discography, instant early 00's nostalgia, and True Story is easily top five songs of hers ever. The vocal arrangement, all through out the album, but especially on that song was on another level. The addlibs, the belting HUH?! My only critic overall, would be that those last 3 songs, other than the lyrical content, are kinda underwhelming and it kinda loses momentum. But maybe that'll change with multiple listens. Instant classic, 9/10 for now. Thanks for the video king Side note, is Eurovision season and I encourage anyone who sees this to check the Greek entry, I'm very proud of our song this year, if u like Rosalia, it's like the Balkan version of her chaoticness ❤😂

The vocal arrangements and Martin’s production really help elevate this. I think it’s very trendy but in a way where this album will definitely evoke the same feelings My Everything did for the 2014 era. If she plays it right, this could be a career defining moment rather than the flop era some (including myself at one point) thought it’d be. Especially since the music itself clearly is resonating. Thank you so much for the lovely insightful comment! And Eurovision may be a topic for one of the podcasts!

I personally think that this is her best album along with sweetener and thank you next this album is just as vulnerable as sweetener, and similar besides production, and a couple things. This one is more of a break up album/healing taking control of prerogative aka being the villain. and honestly I had wish this came out earlier because I went through a break up and ended it and felt so empowered! when I heard the song bye that has to be my favorite on this record. I have some more but I don’t really feel like listing them. Maybe I’ll edit and will as far as the visuals. I really like the visuals are very cozy and they do give off and internal sunshine. this album is very daylight/evening even with it sad moments I don’t get nighttime vibes. It’s still somehow healing and positive and empowering even though at times it can be very sad. also, within this album, you can tell that she is definitely having a fun time with wicked. There is a lot of theater symbolism within the music videos like we can’t be friends the whole part where she’s in the dark in the spotlight shines on her that gave off being on a stage at theater and with yes and? that also gave off theater/Vogue Madonna vibes. As for touring I don’t know if she’s going to tour but she said that she’s not really sure which she’s never really said that before I don’t know she says it has to do with her recording wicked, etc. but I think a lot of it else has to do with the fact that you know she is in a hate train right now and tickets probably just wouldn’t do as well. They would do good but not Ari level.

Agreed agreed agreed! This offering felt both so light and weighty. There was such depth and eclecticism in so many unexpected places that I really felt this work all over. On Friday morning I tried to get some work done while listening and I couldn’t because it captured my full attention and I think that alone speaks volumes in this day and age where it’s hard to immerse anyone. It’s hard to pick tops because I agree it’s a body together more than the sum of its parts but my favorites at the moment are bye, supernatural, don’t want to break up again, eternal sunshine, true story, and I wish I hated you. My fave production wise are the boy is mine, true story, supernatural, don’t wanna break up again. I like the Robyn-esque prod in we can’t be friends and odd trippy rock of the 2000s instrumentation on imperfect for you. Also shout out to the impeccable album sequencing which I always love when artists pay deep attention to how that’s presented and I think it works so well especially where yes and sits musically and supernatural. I can’t believe we’re age the same age! 🤩 (though I can’t tell if you meant it was just starting for you or your in the midst, Ariana is a few months older than me for context- either way, baby millennials here!)

Not to justify her at all but it’s crazy seeing her still going. Even with a “break” which was filming a movie and the whole drama, she never gets rest when honestly, she should.

i think a specific choice that shows the complexity of the album is by noticing that on ariana grandes official account she usually posts the track by itself AND a lyric visualizer separately. she didn't separate them here.

Bang on about it being best as a unit. Not even just lyrically, but sonically, I feel like it would work worst when listened to within a mix of other songs compared to other songs she’s made. That said, it’s probably the best album she’s made, and is certainly the most mature and intellectual, as you say. I’ll probably listen to it less than others, because it’ll best be listened to as an album, where it’s greater than the sum of it’s parts, but it’s probably also my favourite. I’m also not convinced it not working independently is even worthy of major criticism. Dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd is universally recognised as brilliant, but out of order it wouldn’t really make sense. That’s not it’s purpose, though. Great review!

Oh my god. What an amazing album. It’s actually so amazing, and i’m not even joking. I am so disappointed she gave us yes, and? as the single, bc why tf did she release the worsttttt song on the album, as the lead single?? (I get the logistics of it, but musically, I don’t get it) My favorite is don’t wanna breakup again, and the title track, eternal sunshine, with true story, supernatural, we can’t be friends, and the boy is mine, closely following. I think this is her best, and I’m so glad she didn’t make the tracklist bloated for no reason, and js decided on a swift, smooth, tight, 35 minutes, of amazing music. And I can’t wait for the official release of the deluxe.

Something that struck me most about this album is that I’d known for a while that Ariana was a fan of Imogen Heap, but this is the first time (apart from “goodnight n go” of course) that I could really hear that in Ariana’s music? Some of the electronic elements and her vocal delivery reminded me a lot of Imogen’s work, to the point where I went to check if she was involved in producing the album. “eternal sunshine” (especially the bridge!), “supernatural,” “we can’t be friends,” “i wish i hated you,” “imperfect for you,” and “ordinary things” are all very Imogen-coded IMO, even as they are also still true to Ariana as an artist. I think I’ll have to listen to eternal sunshine a few more times to fully process it but I like how cohesive and rock solid it is - my only real criticism is that it feels short, but even then, that probably helps with the cohesion, so maybe the brevity isn’t a bad thing.
@EljohnMacaranas10 ай бұрын
You’re so right for the Imogen comparisons, not necessarily obviously in the sonics of it but rather the tone and vibes. I agree the album does feel short but I do think she really ironed out and picked the strongest songs from the sessions to release as the core record.
@isabelletrinh324110 ай бұрын
Absolutely in love with this album. It has become my favorite of hers. Best song is probably we can’t be friends (wait for your love). I loved how you were able to breakdown the song, but from the perspective of a divorce the song hits waaay harder. “We can’t be friends, but I’d like to just pretend, You cling to your papers and pens, wait until you like me again”, papers and pens being divorce papers and the initial shock and heartbreak of dealing with such a big separation that you just want to pretend like the person you married can be your friend. Seeing the song like that makes me connect with the story more and I just LOVE how she used the movie in the mv

Ya know, what with you recommending that everyone watch the Eternal Sunshine movie (which I agree with!), it's making me think you should do some movie reviews. Of course, as you have a music channel here, you can limit yourself to just movies about music. And I don't mean just traditional musicals, but rather films about songwriters themselves or the industry. Those can entertaining. And eye opening. And I'm sure some of them are streaming free on KZbin and Tubi. Yay! 🤗

Really enjoying this album. After a couple of spins, "we can't be friends" is the clear highlight. It's a Robyn-esque wistful banger. Speaking of, will we ever get a Robyn video? Her "Body Talk" album has become really influential and I'd argue 2018's "Honey" album beat a lot of pop singers to the retro dance-music (house, 80s post-disco, freestyle) party.

It’s a very “tight” album, in a way that it’s perfectly molded and making it long would’ve led to having album filler or songs that weren’t as good. I became a fan in her pop era, between ME and DW, and I love her pop music (the genre itself is my favorite) but this album takes the crown, it’s what I always pictured AG4 to sound like, flawless and with melancholy but also healing. I’m happy I finally got the album I needed and had been waiting for 7 years, one that I loved every single track from the first listen. It took me several listens to get there with all her previous albums, so that speaks volumes.

I guess the boy is mine is fantasize 2.0 while true story just uses the words fantasize. Plus, supernatural is literally like a Carly Rae Jepsen song, something from Dedicated. Hope they have a remix together now that supernatural has a Troy Sivan remix. My single choices for this era are: 1. yes, and? Though it feels weird as the lead, now after the album is out in full, I've come to respect it more 2. we can't be friends (wait for your love) It's pop perfection. I see this song as one of Ari's classics and the gp is already it. 3. the boy is mine The chorus is hypnotising, the hook is an earworm and the production is so retro R&B 2000s, this will blow up and can ve the song of this summer. It's literally the next 7 rings 4. bye It's disco, it's nice. I can see people eating it up and that's all I can suffice 5. supernatural It should be the single that ends the year. A remix with Carly Rae Jepsen will have the pop course in shambles. 6. don't wanna break up again It can be closer to the era, around the grammys. It's a great song but also can be excluded from the single run with supernatural being the last

Great video, I enjoyed watching! I have to admit, at several points throughout the video, I thought, “did we listen to the same album?” 😭 I definitely like the album, I’ve been listening to it pretty much nonstop since it released, I think the vibes of it are excellent. However, I feel the lyricism was quite lacking on many tracks and was not as intellectually engaging as a lot of the stuff on TUN and positions (in my head, off the table, etc). I definitely agree that the album is stronger as a whole. Although, I think Supernatural is an AMAZING track, one of my favorites from her ever!! The chorus melody is INSANELY good. I also definitely did struggle with making out a lot of what she says on some songs. I was reading along on the genius lyric page and even they had put a lot of “?”s for parts they couldn’t make out. Anyways, it was great to hear a different perspective on this album, I definitely gained more of an appreciation for some aspects, like the theme of Ariana wanting to have a more private life, and the album-wide references to Eternal Sunshine (movie) rather than just the two tracks.

As for the enunciation, yeah I had some friends ask me if I had Daredevil hearing 😭 I’m still glad I was able to give another perspective and I honestly didn’t realize why the record was sequenced the way it was until rewatching the movie

Respectfully, I have to disagree. The concept behind this album was not fleshed out enough for a seventh studio album. The sound is great there is no denying that, but there isn’t enough substance here to keep the album afloat when people get bored of the sound. There’s really no new themes here that she hasn’t already covered before. That repetition makes it seem like she isn’t actually evolving as a person or artist but is masking that under new sounds to make it seem like she is. It’s very surface level self-examination. I just wish there was more in the album. 13 tracks that equal about 35 minutes. She airs out what her ex husband did, but there’s never any true self realization or understanding. No ever real finding herself as it goes from falling out of love into falling in love. For someone, who claims why do people care about her life she does throw major shots around her ex-husband without ever talking about herself. Her narration of events throughout her lyrics are glossy blanket statements that don’t provide any nuance.

I think an artist like Ariana can only introspect or change so much. This felt like a refinement of her older stuff, almost like what I wanted Positions to be. At this point, I do imagine she’ll continue to really create and produce trendy and calibrated for the times music. My expectations for the record were not high and she cleared the bar. Ariana has always sorta been a more technical artist even prior to the more conceptualized eras she does now. I feel like the tactile nature of music how she sounds, the layering, and production elements will always supersede lyrical stuff for her. I have another set of faves to lean back on for what Ari lacks and vice versa I go to her when I do want a certain energy.

Warning long comment TLDR: I love eternal sunshine The album is a 9/10 or 10/10 depending on how I’m feeling. I feel like the album is a little short, I feel like with having an intro and interlude, each section could’ve had 1 more song each section. But I prefer it that way, it’s making me want the delux version of there is one to come. Every thing sounds so cohesive. I know this album won’t be for a lot of people which makes me sad. But it’s so damn good. Also I’ve not seen anyone else talk about it but imperfect for you sounds like an slightly more acoustic version of POV to me. Here’s what I would make the single roll out if I was on Ariana’s team 1. Yes and 2. Imperfect for you 3. Supernatural 4. Eternal sunshine 5. True story 6. The boy is mine 7. We can’t be friends (wait for your love) 8. Bye Here was my album ranking based on first listen 1. Bye 2. Eternal sunshine 3. Supernatural 4.the boy is mine 5. I wish I hated you 6. True story 7.
