Ariana World Update

Update: ILYA and Savan Kotecha recently following DUALIPA on instagram after DUALIPA'S post these two have worked for many ariana's songs 👀

 

 

SO HERE FOR IT

If there's a collaboration between the two of them, I think it will be on Ariana Grande's album. Ilya and Savan Kotecha (which are from Max Martin's camp) have previously worked with Ariana, so I could see this to happen to be honest. Another possibility is that Warner enlisted them to work on Dua's second album, but I'm not too sure about this yet.

Idk we know Dua is currently recording for Album 2 so it could be for her?

so here for this

I would love for this to happen! Great to see Dua networking with a big name anyway, an A List collaboration is bound to happen at any point.

I feel like Dua would be a weird collab for Ari to have on her album. Surely it’s the other way round?

More likely the collaboration for AG4 instead.

She's with Andrew Wyatt and Caroline Ailin in Jamaica now.

To complement this, she was with Henry Agincourt Allen (aka. King Henry), Ilsey Juber and Sasha Sloan too and you could see the pic here.

 

As a side note, she's working with Diplo and Mark Ronson in Los Angeles! Not sure if it's to their new project Silk City or for her second album, but I'm excited either way. She posted the pic on her social media and you could see it here.

Not long before that, she was in Jamaica, at the venerable Geejam Studios, hashing out songs for her next album. "I want it to still be pop, but lean more toward soulful," she says of the project. "My voice kind of lends itself to that genre." She lists some of the things she's been drawing on for inspiration: "Electric Chair," by Prince; the new Francis and the Lights album; a lot of Outkast. She's put in time in the studio in recent months with platinum-certified hitmakers like Mark Ronson and pop mastermind Max Martin. "I spent a week with Max, and it was the first time where I felt like there was a lot more method to the things I was writing about. First with him you lay down the melodies, listen to them over and over again, and say, 'Maybe we should change this note.' " When it came to writing lyrics, "You couldn't use the same words too often, next to each other. And not everything can start on the one, because it doesn't keep it as interesting. I played him some of the stuff I did in Jamaica, and he'd say, 'You could totally simplify this. Just repeat that twice. Make it easier for the listener.' He has, like, a lot of rules and theories."

 

 

She’s working with Max!

Oh my.

 

But even without Max, she's set herself up incredibly nicely for her 2nd era. She just needs to capitalise asap. Preferably once IDGAF has done it's job.

If I remember correctly, when she posted the picture with Ariana Grande on Instagram, it was mentioned that Max Martin's crew (I think it was Savan Kotecha and Ilya Salmanzadeh) followed her on her social media.

 

As a side note, she was working with Caroline Ailin, Emily Warren and Ian Kirkpatrick (the team behind "New Rules") again in Los Angeles a week after she was in Jamaica.

I’m super hyped for this album, I hope it comes in Q4. I feel like with everyone she’s working with and the hype she’s built

it could be a real Teenage Dream moment for her.

She confirmed that there won't be more singles from her self-titled debut album during the M&G on her Cardiff show today.

Good! Hopefully it is a sign that the lead single could be out in September sort of time.

 

She could easily debut at #1 with the right song.

There was nothing anymore left though, felt like the whole album got single treatments in different parts of the world :lol:

To be released next year.

 

From NME:

I started writing it at the beginning of the year. I guess when I'm touring it's quite tricky to find time to write but I'll be writing a lot again during the middle and end of this year. I've got some surprises coming this year but I'll try and put out my own new music next year.

She confirmed to Fantástico, a Brazilian TV sports show, that "One Kiss" will be included in the album.

 

From Fantástico: (translated from Portuguese)

The track (in reference of "One Kiss") is part of the singer's second album, slated for next year.

She has been in the studio with Jason Evigan.

She's in the studio with Tove Lo in Stockholm, Sweden.

Mark Ronson has said that he plans to work with Dua again for DL2!
