BuzzJack Music Forum _ Ariana Grande _ Yours Truly • 1st Album (10 year celebrations)

Posted by: JosephTravers 15th July 2013, 03:22 PM



Ariana Grande ‏@ArianaGrande 10 Jul
I will be announcing the name of my album and it's preorder date on Monday [today]. smile.gif #soon

Really interested in her album, hopefully it'll be similar to The Way. New single coming on 22nd July going by her tweets.

Posted by: Jark 15th July 2013, 05:08 PM

Her styling is basically what the Saturdays should look like. What a fab photo. Not mad on The Way but her voice is insane so I'm looking forward to seeing where she goes from here...


Posted by: ღKΛTH 15th July 2013, 05:22 PM

I wasn't keen on The Way either, until I heard the INSANE Jody Den Broeder remix of it. She could be huge if she goes down the dance-electro route as apposed to her current Mariah-lite R&B.

Posted by: MrDaniel 15th July 2013, 08:45 PM

She is truly incredible. Sad to hear she's probably ditched "Daydreamin'"

Posted by: Ryan. 17th July 2013, 04:38 PM

Apparently the album is called 'Yours Truly' and will now be released on September 3rd!

Posted by: Ryan. 1st August 2013, 12:04 AM

Ariana has tweeted that 'Yours Truly' will be available to pre-order next week as well as more previews of songs from the album.

Posted by: Jáhq 1st August 2013, 12:46 PM



Eh, I'm not overly keen at all.

Posted by: Jack 1st August 2013, 12:52 PM

That cover is atrocious.

I thought child pornography was illegal?

Posted by: Jonjo 1st August 2013, 01:12 PM

I HATE albums that have the same size font and font for both the album title AND artists name. It really does make it look tacky and unprofessional. She looks good though. How old is she ooi?

Posted by: #Toby 1st August 2013, 01:19 PM

20.

Posted by: Jonjo 1st August 2013, 01:20 PM

Not wrong then. smile.gif

It's very Britney 1999.

She's been looking waay too skinny on photos lately
The cover is alright, but it's kinda boring

That's not the cover... this is:

What's she doing tweeting https://twitter.com/ArianaGrande/status/362667939280850945 then mad.gif This new thing still isn't AMAZING but it looks more mature and the font is much better at least.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 2nd August 2013, 10:57 AM

Why do people obsess over Album covers so much anyway ? I only really care about the music !

Posted by: Jáhq 7th August 2013, 01:00 AM

This is the tracklist:

1 Honeymoon Avenue
2 Baby I
3 Right There (feat. Big Sean)
4 Tattooed Heart
5 Lovin' It
6 Piano
7 Daydreamin'
8 The Way (feat. Mac Miller)
9 You’ll Never Know
10 Almost Is Never Enough (feat. Nathan Skyes of The Wanted)
11 Popular Song (feat. MIKA)
12 Better Left Unsaid
13 The Way (feat. Mac Miller) [Spanglish Version]

The Big Sean song is a pre-order track so it's online now!

Posted by: Jonjo 7th August 2013, 01:57 AM

I really am loving the sound of this whole album! (Judging by the three songs we've heard)



SO GOOD! I'm becoming so fascinated with her.

Posted by: d__ 7th August 2013, 07:17 AM

i'm pissed that "Daydreamin'" isn't even a bonus track.

Posted by: d__ 7th August 2013, 07:39 AM

Wait. Its on a version of the album. Can she plz confirm the tracklist slready?

Posted by: Jáhq 7th August 2013, 11:40 AM

CAN YOU NOT READ A COUPLE OF POSTS BACK


Loving "Right There" and this sound that she's continuing to go for. wub.gif Better than "Baby I".

Posted by: d__ 7th August 2013, 09:34 PM

She really likes the MIKA song.

Posted by: Neil 7th August 2013, 09:37 PM

Posted by: d__ 29th August 2013, 11:07 PM

"Tattooed Heart", "Honeymoon Avenue" and "Daydreamin'" are obvious standouts.

Posted by: gooddelta 30th August 2013, 03:35 PM

Lovin' It must use the same sample as It's All Gravy by Romeo/Christina Milian! wub.gif Brilliant little debut album on first listen! Packed with hooks and melody throughout and she has a fantastic voice.

Posted by: Jonjo 31st August 2013, 04:00 PM

Finally got round to listening to this and it's great! Feels stupidly fresh despite it's obvious, mid 90's Mariah Carey-influences. SO GOOD. That voice is insane. I'm quite baffled as to why Mika didn't give 'Popular Song' a proper push in the UK. It could have been a surprise big hit for him over here (I think everytime I checked iTunes it was a staple in the top 200 - but I haven't checked for two weeks or so, so I have no idea where it is now/how far it's fallen since) had it been sent to UK radios & promoted. I think reducing it to 59p would be a smart move for him.

But yeah, my early favourites are (ignoring the singles): 'Hooneymoon Avenue', 'Right There', 'Tattooed Heart' & 'Better Left Unsaid' but the whole album is fresh and just what we need atm! Hope it's a success for her, I think it can definitely reach the top 5 here in the UK tbh.

Posted by: gooddelta 31st August 2013, 04:06 PM

It's strange, the original version of Popular Song on Mika's album had some other uncredited singer on it but it seems to have taken on a mini life of its own since the Ariana version came out. He should definitely give it a UK push.

Posted by: CallumTheSats4 1st September 2013, 03:32 PM

It features Priscilla Renea who wrote 'Gentleman' for The Saturdays. I really hope this album can do well as she has her own sound and isn't another generic trend chasing Selena, so deserves credibility and success.

I predict - #14
I want it to be - #3

Priscilla Renea also done the original vocals on Popular Song before Ariana did (I think)

One of the albums of the year for me! Surprisingly!

Posted by: Ryan. 2nd July 2014, 08:50 PM

I've just been re-listening to this album this week and it is so good. While I really enjoyed it when it was initially released, I never played it too much probably due to the busy release schedule around that time, but now I'm listening to it again it really is fantastic. Stand out tracks for me beside the singles are 'Tattooed Heart', 'Piano' and 'Daydreamin'. I do hope that Ariana's new album does have some tracks similar to the sound of this album as well as her newer "pop" sound.

Posted by: Noahspike 6th July 2014, 03:05 PM

The worst moment of her life was having to release a sub-par single as part of her career as a popstar? My heart bleeds for the poor girl.

Posted by: *Tim 6th July 2014, 04:19 PM

She was talking about filming the video, which was indeed atrocious.
She lloked like an oompaloompa

Oh really? I read it as the video, my bad tongue.gif

Posted by: Liаm 6th July 2014, 05:32 PM

Either way it's a bit stupid, the video isn't the best but there's nothing wrong with the song!

Posted by: barbaric_dan 7th July 2014, 05:46 PM

She hates PYHU. During her live show at London last year she said "I'm doing one more song for you, it's a favourite" (starts humming PYHU) and is then like "No wait a song people actually like" in a really sarcy tone. I got really excited at the idea of her performing it. I really like it.

My mutual friend Colleen told me that "Daydreamin'" (the original album) was completely different and Ariana hated half the album.

Posted by: mr_aly 7th July 2014, 06:23 PM

It was a pretty big deal to her though!

“I still have nightmares about it, and I made them hide it on my Vevo page.”

For those of you who haven't checked this out, please do!!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 13th February 2019, 01:52 AM

Just off vocals this is still her best album in my opinion.

I absolutely love it. I wish it had the success My Everything and Dangerous Woman has as I think as a whole album it’s far superior (well it’s definitely superior to My Everything) Such a mature album for someone of her age too (at the time she released it).

So many songs on here would be gigantic if released now especially Tattooed Heart.

Posted by: Jade 3rd September 2019, 04:52 PM

This turned 6 today! I was so pleased to see Ariana acknowledging it wub.gif

View this post on Instagram


“six years 🌫 this album has sm of my heart. thankful for all the memories and love.”

I’ll give this a spin later to celebrate! I recently watched a YouTube video of the entirety of ‘The Listening Sessions’ (aka her first tour, to support this album) while I had time off work and it helped me to appreciate it more.

Posted by: Cameron 3rd September 2019, 06:05 PM

still my fav

Posted by: Juliano 3rd September 2019, 08:35 PM

6 years and still underrated!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 3rd September 2019, 08:39 PM

loveeeee this album

So wish this wasn’t her debut bc I think it would be so much better appreciated now she’s more known.

Posted by: LewisGT 4th September 2019, 06:06 PM

Easily her weakest album for me. Nice but nowhere near the quality of her subsequent releases.

Posted by: Jade 4th September 2019, 08:44 PM

This is my least favourite Ariana album as well but I'd probably give it an 8/10 so nothing to be sniffed at laugh.gif my 'Yours Truly' top 5:

01. Piano
02. Popular Song
03. The Way
04. Baby I
05. Honeymoon Avenue

Posted by: Juliano 5th September 2019, 10:19 PM

Oh yes, by "still underrated", I actually meant "Everything that followed was better, but still amazing!".

So many of the songs on here still fit nicely in many of my playlists.

On another note, CAN TIME SLOW DOWN ALREADY!! 6 years, how?

Posted by: Jade 3rd September 2020, 08:54 PM



Happy 7th birthday 'Yours Truly' cheer.gif she's posted her top 3 from 'Sweetener' and 'My Everything' as replies to fans recently, so hopefully this will follow suit kink.gif

She better stan 'Piano'

Edit: oh Ari deleted her original tweet!!! it said: "seven years smile.gif

thank u for embracing me the way u did this day and for riding n growing with me ever since. to many more !!! love u."

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 3rd September 2020, 09:41 PM

Such a mature album for a debut album and for someone so young at time of release.

Posted by: Jade 11th February 2021, 09:44 PM



...today I learned that they were involved with writing 'Tattooed Heart'!

Beautiful song, one of my favourites from this album for sure and I feel lucky to have experienced it live.

Posted by: JulianNial 12th February 2021, 12:48 AM

Oh wow I never knew that! ohmy.gif

If you asked me to put money on who I thought wrote it, I'd never have said it was one of them. laugh.gif

Posted by: Jade 18th August 2022, 05:10 PM

Oh wow this is random, maybe would've expected something like this for the 10th anniversary next year ;o although it does say "the first" so not just an isolated thing:




Posted by: LewisGT 3rd September 2022, 05:21 PM



9 years ohmy.gif It's my least favourite of her albums unfortunately but still a solid debut from her. She seems very comfortable with the sound on the album.


Posted by: Jade 3rd September 2022, 05:33 PM

9 years ohmy.gif I associate this era with taking my GCSEs as I was listening to 'The Way' a lot during that time, it really does fly.

It's also my least favourite album of hers - a cute debut and definitely more 'her' than the 'Put Your Hearts Up' sound, but much better was to come.

'Piano', 'Baby I' and 'Honeymoon Avenue' are probably my top 3 nowadays!

Posted by: dannjohn 9th September 2022, 09:45 AM

Wow! 9 years... i don't know if it's because the highs of 'Honeymoon Avenue' and 'Daydreamin' are so high but i honestly still believe this is her best album.

i remember when it came out in 2013 and i was trying to get all my friends on board with 'The Way' and they HATED it. I had 4 tickets to a tiny Leicester Square show and had to go by myself as noone wanted to come... how things changed the following year but i'll never forget that fond memory.

one memory i have is being with Colleen Balinger (Miranda Sings) in Freedom Bar - she was doing a London residency and asked me to join her at Freedom after the show and we danced and gushed about 'Your Truly' as she was a huge fan.

Posted by: Jade 22nd June 2023, 09:11 PM

10 year celebrations incoming:


Posted by: JulianNial 4th July 2023, 11:26 PM

Maybe an anniversary addition with unreleased tracks would be more than I could ask for. Seems to be a bit of music industry cliché at the moment.

Eeek, I certainly wouldn't be bragging about that right now!

Posted by: Jade 8th August 2023, 06:04 PM

Something's coming!





Are we getting live performances a la her VEVO show for positions a few years ago maybe? She still had some Yours Truly moments as recently as her latest tour, including a rendition of 'Tattooed Heart' under the moon when I saw her.

Also - 'Right There' has now turned 10 years old.

That would be interesting, I think 'Pink Champagne' is the Yours Truly unreleased track I'm most familiar with, I wonder how much is behind the vault

Posted by: LewisGT 9th August 2023, 04:18 PM

I can't wait for (what looks like) the live performances cheer.gif

Posted by: Jord 12th August 2023, 12:16 PM

I still prefer this as a whole album to My Everything (and maybe even positions too).

She sounds so comfortable and it feels really natural too. With My Everything that really felt heavily like a label influenced album getting the best writers and producers to write and create an album made for radio / playlists where as this feels like a lovely introduction to one of the best vocalists in the game.

I feel intrigued at wondering how this may have performed outside the US had this been the follow up and My Everything been the debut.

I still prefer this as a whole album to My Everything (and maybe even positions too).

She sounds so comfortable and it feels really natural too.

Yeah it did feel like an authentic launchpad for her following the artistic mis-step of 'Put Your Hearts Up'.

That's an interesting thought. Perhaps a sophomore slump? It's an enjoyable album but My Everything is packed with obvious commercial hits whereas this one not quite so much - although I assume a switch around would've at least ensured that 'The Way' was a top 40 hit here - so close cry.gif

She definitely seems to be dedicated to this 10 year anniversary project, looking forward to it:

Tattooed Heart was the single that never was from this album! heart.gif

I think I’ll delve into this on my commute to work tomorrow it’s been a while since I listened it as a whole but it really is quite mature for a debut artist and a young artist too! Hopefully the anniversary and the live performances can help the album have a resurgence it’s quite underrated in the UK compared to the rest of her catalogue - although at the time I was surprised that she managed to get a top ten album with this at the time of its release.

That is comfortably her worst artwork ever tearsmile.gif

They can't be serious with that album cover! laugh.gif I don't even mind it being a still from the video, the fact it's such an unflattering photo and so blurred!

Posted by: JulianNial 24th August 2023, 05:53 PM

I'm so excited for this! But that artwork... GIRL!?!

Posted by: Jade 24th August 2023, 08:05 PM

Ari it’s not too late to change the cover like with the original album cry.gif laugh.gif

Posted by: Cameron 25th August 2023, 04:54 AM

Still her best album idc

Posted by: Jade 25th August 2023, 06:15 AM





Will give the whole digital deluxe album a listen later but a strong start with these performances, she sounds beautiful!

Posted by: Calvin Maxwell 25th August 2023, 07:15 AM

all i can say about that album cover is that it's very 2013 😅

Posted by: Jade 25th August 2023, 08:02 AM

Listening to this in the background as the office is dead today and ‘The Way’ is hitting such a nostalgic spot ❤️

Just noticed another unfortunate quality about the artwork on Spotify, it has been cropped with a random white line at the top of it pirate.gif laugh.gif (here’s hoping for a pretty vinyl pressing to somewhat salvage the aesthetics lol)

Posted by: LewisGT 25th August 2023, 09:14 AM

I just listened to this in the background at work and found it quite amazing how similar she sounds on the live recordings and studio recordings.

Yes she sounds fantastic, out of all the artists I've seen live Ari and ROSALÍA stand out the most as the ones I was most blown away by vocally in a live setting!

Q&A part 1 is out now on TikTok but someone has kindly uploaded it to YouTube:



I assumed it would be professionally filmed laugh.gif but never mind, still great to hear her answering questions (and watching her humour jump out), some notable things off the top of my head include 'Honeymoon Avenue' being her favourite non-single on the album and 'The Way' was the most fun music video to film. heart.gif

Posted by: Jade 27th August 2023, 10:52 AM



Slightly tempted by the fan as it reminds me of the 'Right There' video (and because it's the cheapest item tearsmile.gif)





cheer.gif

the 'Baby I' live performance visuals should be coming today.

Posted by: Jade 27th August 2023, 07:03 PM

'Baby I' performance now up heart.gif


Posted by: LewisGT 27th August 2023, 08:16 PM

That's my favourite of the 3 performance videos so far wub.gif

Posted by: Jord 27th August 2023, 10:40 PM

Really hoping this can have a nice impact on the albums chart this week (especially here in the UK where it’s chart performance was so modest compared to all her other eras).

If only there was a physical release. Hopefully she does do a physical of the expanded edition with the live tracks (and or a vinyl). Get those extra sales!

A vinyl is up for pre-order tomorrow *.* not sure when it will count to the chart though.

Posted by: Jade 28th August 2023, 04:43 PM

The vinyl is available to pre-order and has the OG artwork! Doesn't ship until 17th November though so I don't really expect it to chart until then.



Q&A part 2 also up:



she talks about unreleased songs, the scrapped pink artwork for the album, why 'Yours Truly' was chosen as the title etc.

Album has re-entered the UK Top 100 at #99!

Should climb again once the physicals ship hoping the vinyl can potentially make it return to the top 40?

It’s now spent 5 weeks inside the top 100 and it’s not been as high as this the One Love Manchester event.

Oh wow I'm pleasantly surprised that it charted without physicals! cheer.gif

Today now marks exactly 10 years since Ariana's debut album Yours Truly was released!



Happy Birthday to an important moment in her career cheer.gif I think it took me a little while to get around to the album in full but I definitely remember hearing (and liking!) 'The Way', 'Baby I' and 'Popular Song' when they came out. Once I did listen in full my favourite album tracks were 'Honeymoon Avenue', 'Tattooed Heart' and 'Piano'!

Posted by: Jade 19th October 2023, 08:45 AM

Ooh this is a nice surprise to come from this project:


Posted by: Jade 18th November 2023, 03:11 PM

My 10th anniversary picture disc turned up today! Completely forgotten that I’d ordered it a few months back so that was a nice surprise laugh.gif

Posted by: Jord 20th November 2023, 06:08 PM

This is showing at #87 in the UK midweeks!

Wonder if there’s still more to be dispatched from the 10 year anniversary edition picture discs.

I’ve listened to this album a few times in full this year for this anniversary:)
