(A$AP shot the original that sounds like a remix, good) Second good sap is "My Everything," now "Bang Bang" the first up-tempo actually sufficiently bangin', "Only I"--oh I see: yet another deluxe album wrapped around a good EP.

So far, 5 1/2 ("You Think You Know" gave out of gas and kept going a while) possible keepers out of 15. A familiar ratio, but I'll keep listening after belated, by then totally unexpected goodies (the better by contrast, of course).

i quite like this album. there's been a lot of press in mainstream media here lately about her "diva" behaviour. not sure how much of it is truth and how much is tmz-style spin

She needs the rumours to be semi interesting lbr.
Album remains impressively consistent at being a workmanlike box-ticking exercise. tries out all tthose different directions and gets 6/10 at all of them. So few genuinely exciting pop-thrill moments...only Problem, really, and the first half of Love Me Harder.

latter is the new single btw

man, I just discovered "love me harder," and just shed a tear around the second gottagottagotta chorus…shit done hit me hard…

great track

Yeah I fucking love "Love Me Harder." Like I have been known to play it repeatedly.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 04:48 (nine years ago) link
so Max martin wrote it with a cardigans guy and the weeknd…just learned that he's a few months younger than me, 43…I dunno, I tend to think of Lex Luthor/dr doom style masterminds of music as much much older than me…I wonder how a guy like that can truly inhabit a young woman's mindset the way he has repeatedly, like it would fascinating to hear demos of his britney shit…
― veronica moser, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 13:22 (nine years ago) link
gottagottagotta chorus
that's a great hook.

Nothing about ILM really surprises me in the grand scheme of things, but I can't find any mention of "Dangerous Woman" which surprises me (it's just great). I've been a fan of her since noticing that she was a comic genius on "Sam and Cat." I might actually watch SNL in real-time for the first time in years tonight.

and i'm really looking forward to enjoying another ariana grande single someday
I'm kind of fascinated by the fact that I like her a lot, and she's simultaneously pretty popular. Very unusual situation. Like I'm probably the only person in the world who hears the new single and thinks about Spectrum during the chorus. Likewise Problem/V-Effect. It's all coincidence, but her stuff crosses some weird lines in a subtle way.
― dlp9001, Saturday, 12 March 2016 16:50 (eight years ago) link
i heard it on the radio and went "who's this? this is really good!" without knowing who it was. glad she's got something different up her sleeve after "Focus" seemed like everything bad about her second album turned all the way up.
― ODD FUTURE WOLFGANG VAN HALEN ON BASS (some dude), Saturday, 12 March 2016 17:26 (eight years ago) link
the second song she did on SNL tonight sounded great. seems like something that could have been on album 1 but w/ a bit of piano house feel (my guess would be they're trying to nod to tropical house but i guess we'll see what the recorded version sounds like) http://www.gossipcop.com/ariana-grande-snl-be-alright-video-saturday-night-live-watch-performance/

This is really great, on a 'Yours Truly' vibe for sure.

Just saw the SNL episode earlier today. Outside of her songs (which were great), super impressed by her just natural ease and charisma in all the sketch work. Rare to see someone killing it like that on all fronts. Crazy talent.
― circa1916, Sunday, 20 March 2016 07:51 (eight years ago) link
xp yeah "be alright" is a bop but i'm also kind of excited to hear some remixes as i feel like it recycles the same idea 4 times over and doesn't quite become as stratospheric as it could be

So the new album is pretty great, better than My Everything, has more of an influence from the first album
I'm listening to the Japanese version of the album and "Focus" is tacked onto the end and it's sounding a lot better than I remembered to the point that I'm wondering if they changed it for this but I'm not about to watch the video or anything to find out
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 19 May 2016 23:11 (eight years ago) link
it's really really good isn't it! i'm kinda shocked, none of the singles grabbed me until "into you" but the album even makes them sound better. feels like the songs are actually tailored for her (surprisingly unversatile) voice this time - unlike the awkward last album this one does a great job of taking the stuff she did so well on the debut and putting it into more varied contexts.
"greedy" really leapt out at first listen, the bonus tracks are all great too.
