Listened to more of the album now and 'Break Your Heart Right Back' instantly stood out.

 

I read somewhere it's about an ex of hers that turned out to be gay? Loving this part in Childish Gambino's rap:

'Don't understand how to spell it out for ya

Yes, I'm a G, from the A, and they ask Y'

 

hahaha

That would explain the "I'm Coming Out" sample.

Downloaded this album and I love every track. Problem is still the stand out for me with Break Free and Break Your Heart Right Back close behind.

Wait, wait, WAIT! David Guetta produced 'One Last Time'? :o

Absolutely LOVE this album, the sound, her vocals, everything about it is incredible! :wub: One Last Time & Break Your Heart Right Back are INCREDIBLE. Also Love Me Harder is really good! Not one song I don't like. :wub:

Never have identified myself as an Ariana fan in the past, her diction and her overall overly 'cutesy' image just annoyed me to the max but seeing as 'Problem' is one of the songs of the year I decided I should at least give this a go and I am so glad I did. This, for me, is one of the best pop albums (yes, POP) I have heard in a long time. Apart from maybe 'Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart' which I find a bit bland, basically all the songs I can imagine being good single choices, they really are just that strong. My personal favourites right now are 'One Last Time', 'Love Me Harder' and 'Be My Baby' but I am sure that may change with more listens.

 

I may even have to say I am Ariana convert now :kink:

I think it might just be me on this, but I actually really want Best Mistake or Be My Baby to be a future single! :wub:

Completely agree on 'Be My Baby'. It is just so catchy, can imagine it working very well as a single. I was singing along with it before my first play of it had even finished.

My two favourites aside from the singles are 'One Last Time' and 'Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart', I'm so sad no-one else seems to like the latter as much as the rest. At least it's the highest album track on UK iTunes!

Helps that Harry Styles wrote it so I'm sure all the 1D fans are interested... :kink:

 

It's such a strong album, really impressed by it. Hope Break Free ends up as a big hit here :D

Yeah I did think that would be the reason behind it but still it's great to see it so high!

My Favourites besides the singles are Break Your Heart Right Back , My Hands , Best Mistake, and Love Me Harder but it's a really strong album overall :).

Am I the only person who's favourite track is Why Try? :heart:

It is just so hard to pick a favourite. The title track has just hit me in a big way, just beautiful.

Did I miss this coming out?

 

Anyway I've decided that she sounds like Victoria Duffield, but I am now thinking that I was thinking of someone else.

Such a good album. AOTY contender, FOR SURE. 'One Last Time' must be a single at some point. Maybe after single #3 ('Break Your Heart Right Back' would be a good choice I think!) but either way, it's just too stunning to not be a single! This album just grows and grows after each listen!

Break Your Heart Right Back and Love Me Harder and highlights for me.

AMAZING album. Was not expecting it to be so good. Early standouts are One Last Time, Break Your Heart Right Back, Hands On Me and You Dont Know Me.

One Last Time absolutely floors me every listen :wub: incredible.

Along with x and The New Classic, this is definitely a potential album of the year *.*
