Well I certainly enjoyed that more than some of the other Williams produced tracks on the album... though maybe it was scrapped due to the hooks similarity to the title track?

What a moment! Her first grammy too. Let's face it 'thank u, next' deserved one too.

I’m giving it an anniversary listen too. It’s still my 2nd least favourite of her albums but it does have some amazing moments.



I’m aware I say this every time but I’m certainly not getting on this occasion laugh.gif

I think I'll pass on those as well, I have plenty of 'sweetener' shirts as it is anyway laugh.gif coincidentally I am wearing one today in fact (yay no dress code for working from home kink.gif)

I used to consider this my 2nd least favourite Ari album as well but it's moved up to 4th for me nowadays - still a bit messy but I agree that the highs are amazing.

'sweetener' is actually a really good album... it's possibly shared no.2 for me alongside 'positions' behind 'Yours Truly' of course.

It's just that god awful nicki duet that lets the album down.

New 'sweetener' leak called 'You':



It was from the original tracklisting written on pieces of paper in the 'no tears left to cry' video:

01. raindrops (an angel cried)
02. the light is coming (feat. Skepta)
03. blazed (feat. Pharrell)
04. R.E.M.
05. God is a woman
06. successful
07. sweetener
08. breathin
09. you
10. borderline (feat. Missy Elliot)
11. no tears left to cry

I quite like it, the "yuh" is very 'sweetener' era but the horns remind me of 'positions'

Never been a fan of the background colour, but otherwise, I loved her 'sweetener' look and the upside down concept

Sweetener is her best album cover for me! I actually like the background too, it stood out at the time being her first non black and white album cover but the upside down type concept worked for the album too.

The no tears left to cry single cover though is my favourite artwork of hers though heart.gif

4 years ohmy.gif I do seem to like this more than your average BuzzJack poster although it doesn't exactly touch the holy trinity of singles from this era!

Oh wow, happy fourth birthday 'sweetener'! This album really reminds me of finishing my degree, can't believe that much time has passed already.

My top 3 from the album are the really predictable trio of: 01. God is a woman 02. no tears left to cry and 03. breathin - such a flawless singles run!

Going to give my beautiful peach vinyl of this album a spin to celebrate heart.gif

p.s. I simply must show some appreciation for these vocals *.*
