Ariana Grande - "Thank U, Next" (the album)

No, it’s a one-off they made while on tour.

Also (fwiw), just read that she and Mike from Social House (the first of two guys in the song) have reportedly started dating.

(I wouldn’t normally mention that or care, but I guess it’s relevant/interesting to the extent the song may reflect the actual contours of their relationship)

technically speaking none of this says there isn't live autotune

I think the “naw” covers it — but judge for yrself: http://instagr.am/p/B1z5-g2Fl6i/?igshid=6k16bsnrjy6n

Some of the best proof that she can cut it live, and *how* is this from Ellen, she almost falls off the chair and utters a panicked 'OHMYGOD!' before regaining composure, carrying on, getting a fit of the giggles, calming down, then occasionally giggling some more every time she catches sight of one of her dancers, then they all float up the staircase.

That reminds me I have watched a youtube video about AG hitting a specific note in one song with clips from ALL the dates of the tour... it's like +10min of the same moment of one song on every night of the tour... I don't know how and why I went through that but that was actually quite hypnotic (and an evidence that she sings for real on tour !).

It was this !

Btw, I have a ticket to the final (added) show of the tour, at the Forum on Dec. 22. That will be two Ariana Grande shows in one year!

It’s no “Bang Bang,” but it’s a good jam:

Songwriter(s)

Savan Kotecha
Miley Cyrus
Lana Del Rey
Max Martin
Ariana Grande
Ilya Salmanzadeh

Producer(s)
Ilya
Max Martin

the credits on tidal match that

Well, this is... not good (and far from "Independant Women").
Disappointing. Funny though how the song changes totally and turns into a LDR song during her part !

Nice vocal by AG on this new recording of an (oft-covered) classic:

I've never fully loved that song but this version makes me almost as happy as my daughter is gonna be when she hears it <3

On the heels of the Chenoweth collab (too early for Xmas tunes?):

I picked up the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack... it won’t change yr life, but there are a few nice cuts.

Good attitude, IMO...

I don't care about charts or medias whatsoever but this is simply not very good, imo (talking about her contribution to the soundtrack only, I haven't listened to the rest).

She’s on 5 of the tracks (and as I said, they won’t change yr life... I’m a completist, tho)

(The “Boyfriend” CD single that I ordered on Aug. 2 just shipped today :p)

Yeah, I was talking about her 5 tracks, all of them pretty meh imo which is disappointing since I was looking forward to new material from her (but she's been on fire - and on tour - for a while, up until "Boyfriend", so that's cool !).

I think “How I Look on You” is a good song; it could have fit on Thank U, Next

(I also like how its opening chords brush against the Star Wars "Imperial March," lol)

The final show of the tour is tonight... I'll be there (alone ;P), in my fLoOr sEaT. Looking forward to it!

She's also dropping a live album from this tour, sometime before end of year (maybe tonite).

I'm jealous. I am kinda surprised she never came back around to do an arena show here (in Manchester) although given the you know 'circumstances' i can understand it.

The show was great. She was v emotional / in tears for much of it (as it was the 100th / final show), and delivered a long, heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked on the tour & made it happen.

The highlight for me was the bopping version of “Honeymoon Ave.”!

Very much down for this live album.

The live album is good — they did a nice job w/the sound mix.

...I will add that it doesn’t replicate the experience of an Ariana Grande concert, where your favorite songs are being performed hella loud, and you’re dancing & yelling your a$$ off among like-minded individuals (but you already know that about concerts).

Cool new song snippet:

i miss making things

my queen <3

as snippets go, that is lovely

october surprise

i can’t wait to give u my album this month

— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) October 14, 2020

Btw - Thank u, next has pretty much become my default/go-to album (...& not just my go-to Ariana Grande album, but album in general).

I'm happy she's enjoying her musical theatre but I'm ready for a new album ffs get on with it

Ah funny, I just went back to « positions » for the first time since around its release. I never got into it as much as « Thank U, next » and well, it’s nice but still doesn’t really work for me. Was it successful ? I hope she’ll release a new one soon !

Btw, she’s funny in « don’t look up » !

xxp – I was gonna say… hope you’re at least aware of the album that came after this one (lol)

demanding that artists pump out content constantly is one of the things that kinda sucks about music in the internet/streaming era.

she released her last album 14 months ago! and she released albums in 2018, 2019 and 2020!

i guess re-reading you, NV, you're not saying "she's due" just that you're ready. fair enough. but at this point i think she could wait till 2023 and it'd be completely reasonable/understandable.

Positions is my fave basically

Nothing about my post was intended to be reasonable 😀

I'm happy she's enjoying her musical theatre but I'm ready for a new album ffs get on with it

^thought of the above convo when I came across this item

well that's me told :D

Kind of a bummer, but she’s doin her thing I guess

i happened to listen to 'thank u next' today, easily one of the best pop albums of the last 5 years
