Ariana Grande

only 2 hours left?? did i read this right??? that's only 9pm west coast time! god bless america *gunshot x2* i thot i was gonna have to stay up to hear it   thx ariana

[white gold 4,242]

its amazing and her entire album is gonna be amazing. 

 

it's kinda funny how it came it almost exactly a year after the LFL title track came out. they're 2 releases that I took VERY seriously and it was worth the wait <33333 her album is gonna be amazing. she still has the magic!!!!!

 

if I'm being COMPLETELY honest--it sounds like a Dangerous Woman B-side that they polished enough to be a lead single, which means we're probably getting DW pt 2 and I'm so okay w/ that. Max Martin's production is so plush and I'm so here for it

From the snippet I heard I'm a bit disappointed, it wasn't bad at all, just not the into you style song I was hoping for

wait where is it?

IM SHAKING

Video is so dope! As soon as it was over, I replayed it. Can't say that about Lana's recent videos.

 

Snippet was not representative of the song, but still not a bad song.

The talk-singing part I'm not sure how I feel about that...Selena does it cause she can't sing, Ariana can so I'm not sure why she's doing it. 

Also was hoping Ari would get a little bit deeper with her music, I know she's super pop but I've always felt she could do it well if she ever decides to actually say something monumental.

her voice is too good to be talk-singing--I agree. But top 40 is dominated by rap music so talk-singing is an easy way to appeal to the general public.

Yeah I can understand that. I think it's something about clear vocals that appeal to GP.

Is this a radio friendly tho? I can't tell if this is something that would blow up on radio like Into You? I gotta keep listening

[Dum-Dum 3,514]

the part where she sings ...aint no tears lefttocry. sounds like another song someone help

[Downtown Baby Doll 5,310]

So by the sounds of it, this is the song she teased on New Years Eve? The talk-singing really threw the flow of the song off for me, especially at the beginning. Cute song and cute video overall though, I'll definitely be bopping to it over the next few days!

definitely isn't going to blow up like Into You. something about the drums make it sound really dated IMO... it's definitely gonna get radio play for a few weeks tho. saying it'll debut top 10 is a safe bet but it's kinda up in the air tbh

[loleetah 4,084]

Its not what i expected but I still love it! It's a fun optimistic bop. I can't help but feel like her voice was kind of wasted though, like some of you said she's too talented to be talk signing on a lead single. I wish the harmonies at the beginning were a more prominent part bc they're heavenly, they're not even on the Apple Music version

reminds me of early-mid 2000s UK Drum n Bass/Jungle.. drums lol

i was expecting something like Praying by Kesha but a bit more wild.. not was i was expecting but not turned don completely .. hopefully the album will be worth the wait
