“An album filled with romantic wonder, flirtatious possibility, and the promise of more to come”
“Whether she’s singing about her exes or world-shaking tragedy, or both, Ariana Grande has always been an open-book superstar. But few expected the balladeering Barbarella to release a sixth album so explicitly about bonking. Clearly she’s been having a more eventful pandemic than most, though the warped MGM strings on Positions suggest that Grande, a lifelong Judy Garland fan, is blurring Pornhub ”
“Positions is Ariana Grande’s most carefree, playful, and mature work to date”
“Her third album in two years searches for peace, tracing the quiet work of piecing yourself together and delighting in giddy new romance at the same time.”
“Grande's third album in two years puts love and sex front and center”
“The pop superstar's latest is full of horny R&B slow jams rooted in a desire to express real intimacy.”
“this album, like sweetener, has some of ariana’s strongest aspects, like her vocal abilities on off the table and my hair, but then is also filled with a lot of shallow generic pop songs like 34+35 and shut up. i liked the more sentimental songs like pov & obivous, i just wish this album had more of that.”
“Positions has some of Ariana’s most introspective work, but doesn’t necessarily package it as well as it should. It maintains some of the highs but its lows are a little too low for my taste. Favs: motive, just like magic, six thirty, my hair, love language, pov Meh: west side, obvious”
“Cet album n’est pas assez apprécié, on demande à Ariana de faire plus de rnb comme celui là.”
“This album aged way better than people gave it credit for.”
