What a stunning intro! HER VOICE! :wub:

 

It really should have been followed by 'no tears left to cry' and not 'blazed' </3 Such a disjointed mismatch!

 

I really like 'blazed' though! A bit of a bop.

Maybe one of the most jarring transitions ever :heehee: Such a beautiful start and then we get Blazed. i-

 

Blazed is... fine. There's better to come!

Blazed is ok but one of the only songs from her last 4 albums that I never go listen to outside of its album.
Now for the low point of the album, without a doubt. The verses are a little catchy, the chorus doesn't really go anywhere but it's...fine? Okay maybe I've been lowkey sleeping on this. :sarah: Still only a 7/10 at best putting it bottom x

:hi:

 

I have already heard this and 'thank u, next' but here to listen along anyway cos why not ~

 

Fun fact about 'raindrops (an angel cried)' - it was sampled on 'Celebration Station' by Lil Uzi Vert meaning it belatedly got some sort of Hot 100 impact earlier this year :magic: (was also one of only like 3 good songs on that album xx)

 

'blazed' is a bit of a bop :music: though the transition into it is the first of many not quite seamless transitions on here xx

Loooove 'raindrops (an angel cried)' as an opener but as everyone seems to agree on - that transition to 'blazed' is not great :') I adored her leading into 'God is a woman' on tour. Or as Jonjo said earlier, 'no tears left to cry' would be a good'un for track #2 as well. 'blazed' as a song in its own right is solid enough.

 

I have to agree, 'no tears' makes COMPLETE sense as the first full track and it would be such a gorgeous transition.

 

It shows how long it's been since I listened to this album from start to finish because I forgot it wasn't track 2. :lol:

I still really enjoy The Light Is Coming even if the video is a bit odd.

 

One that went off massively on tour. It might even have been my favourite performance of hers which I really didn't expect.

MY BOP :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: A 10/10 song idc what y'all say (will it be top 10 in my Ariana rank going on rn #plug)

This is very mixed on BuzzJack as we established in that thread recently. :lol: I am on the positive side though of course - what a BOP *.*

 

(I'm glad this wasn't anything more than a promo single though as the run of three singles we actually did get is untouchable)

There's better to come!

... but not immediately. :tearsmile:

 

I don't mind this song when I hear it on laptop speakers because that incessant speaking in the background is much less apparent. Very grating on earphones though (how I'm listening to Sweetener today)!

'the light is coming' always a bop x (tbh the vocal sample in the background isn't even as prominent as I remember it being lel)

I really like 'the light is coming', but the hook lasts too long! The production reminds me of 'Don't Get It Twisted' by Gwen Stefani. Which is just as irresistably bonkers *.* I think tlic would have been better as an interlude of some sort. But it gets such a hard time as it is! It's so catchy and worms it's way into your head, so quickly!

For sure! The light up rings matching the timing of the beats was so euphoric *.*
