'Best Mistake' feels a bit underrated on BuzzJack! It's not an absolute highlight or anything but pretty nice. Especially the bridge :heart:

Best Mistake is another album track gem <3 The darker vibe foreshadows the Dangerous Woman era and that can only be a good thing :wub: Big Sean has a great flow as well. This is just blissful R&B, she did that.

Best Mistake is okay, not the finest moment of either artist. Good vibe but lacks a bit of punch for me.

A smooth, sensual jam! I should dislike BM more than I do, but there's just something about it! Not a fave, but a chilled vibe! *.*

#07. Be My Baby (feat. Cashmere Cat)

 

'Marilyn' by Alexa Goddard is a bop tbh *.* (didn't she have like a five album record deal or something :'))

 

 

I do like 'Marilyn' :magic:

 

Poor hen having basically all of her old songs disappear from YouTube tho oop

 

~

 

'Break Free' I briefly liked at the time but very quickly grew to kind of dislike it oops. Just feels very tacky and generic.

 

Think I am liking 'Best Mistake' more than the Big Sean song on the last album ~

Be My Baby is so fun and bubbly. It feels like a nice throwback.

 

Mid-table in her Cashmere Cat collaborations for me.

'Best Mistake' is decent! Big Sean's rap is a highlight tbh.

 

'Be My Baby' would rank very low on an overall ranking. The first dud?

I prefer both 'Quit' and 'Adore' to 'Be My Baby' in terms of Cashmere Cat collabs but this one is still good fun ~

'Be My Baby', yet ANOTHER great album track! I swear Ariana has the most consistent albums out of any pop girl. Even Rih has slightly more filler.

(All of them are 8.5+ though)

BMB, I have a strange relationship with. I feel like sometimes I like it but other times it's just... there. Not their best collab.

Be My Baby is defo her best Cashmere Cat collab! Good track, the chorus in particular.

#08. Break Your Heart Right Back (feat. Childish Gambino)

 

Break Your Heart Right Back :wub:

 

The sample and topic of the song are both iconic and Gambino's verse always makes me laugh.

'Break Your Heart Right Back' is a major highlight. What a B O P and the sample is used geniuosly :wub:

Think I'd rank this between the 2 Cashmere Cat collabs that were in her singles rate as well (but closer to the lower one). Not terrible but definitely the most inessential album track so far.

BYHRB is one of those tracks that's TOO instant if you get me, I loved it on first listen but I haven't gone back to it much. Still good though, I love the Diana Ross sample in particular. A gay icon sampling a gay icon we love to see it :cheeseblock:

Back to 10/10 moments, I have so much love for 'Break Your Heart Right Back' :wub: Ari has the knack for making tacky samples/interpolations work, first this and later on '7 rings' :lol: it was such a welcome surprise to hear on tour as well *.*

"I know the way he did you was whack

But I know how you can get dude right back, and get with me"

 

Donald Glover shooting his shot :lol:

BYHRB is an album highlight :wub:
