Review: Ariana Grande releases best studio album to date: ‘thank u, next’ (Includes first-hand account)

The album opens with “imagine,” and it immediately breaks into “needy” and “NASA,” which features her crystalline and sultry vocals. She continues to maintain great control over her voice and her range.

Other noteworthy songs that stand out by a mile include “fake smile,” “make up” and the atmospheric “ghostin.”

After the stunning “7 rings” and the inspirational title track “thank u, next,” the eclectic CD closes with “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored,” for which she released a solid new music video for the song, that instantly went viral, and rightfully so.

thank, u next is available on Apple Music and on Spotify.

Overall, Ariana Grande showcases her tremendous growth and maturity as a singer-songwriter on her latest studio offering thank u, next. Her new sound is more sophisticated and refreshing; moreover, it is a must for all fans of pop music. This collection is a musical gem, and it garners an A rating.
