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

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

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 😀

^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
