Hi everyone, new here :) Was looking for a place to talk about the album that wasn’t scary because, you know what twitters like! I’ve listened to the album and am a bit disappointed. I didn’t think it would be like TUN, but I thought it would have a catchy rnb 90ss vibe from the lead single (which I love). I won’t do a track by track mainly because I can’t remember what some of them sound like. But I agree with the poster who said my hair is a vocal career highlight, the lyrics aren’t great but wow she suits that croony style so much and you can understand exactly what she’s saying - yey! There are other songs I like the sound of a lot like 34 35, obvious, love language. But my main issue is the lyrics don’t elevate the music at all. Eg “are you down what’s up” x100. I don’t expect every pop star to be able to write like a poet but Ariana has the best voice in the game IMO and it’s used with basic and sometimes cringey lyrics. Overall the album sounds like she was vibing in the studio through quarantine and scooter told her it was good enough to release as a whole album. Hope this doesn’t come across as hate btw. I just think she needs new collaborators.
