Hello everyone, welcome to this new video! Today I'm gonna be doing a review of Ariana Grande's new album: Sweetener 😍
I couldn't wait to record this video, because I liked the album so much! It is different from her previous album, but it is so beautiful! It reminds me of her first album, Yours truly❤️
'Cause the songs are so sweet, they aren't like they were in the Dangerous woman album, which I prefer to Sweetener. I mean, Dangerous woman will always be my favorite album, I think
because there are my absolutely favorite songs, but Sweetener is amazing too and in this video I'm gonna be talking only about this last album
And here I have the CD. I'm gonna show you the CD first.
I know it should be on the contrary but her face is more appreciable this way 😂
here on the back we have the tracklist
Now I'm gonna show you the CD
This is the CD. I think it's a picture o f a slightly cloudy sky. And yeah, I love it❤️
I bought it from Feltrinelli, but You can quietly find it on Amazon! According to my experience it is so reliable and fast in deliveries
I'm sorry for my voice. I'm still slightly cooled, but I'm getting better.
Now let's start with our review!😊
As the first song we have RAINDROPS (an angel cried), which is the intro of the album and according to me it's really heavenly! It is so beautiful and I'm really sorry that it is that short!
Because this song enhances her voice a lot! it has this atmosphere that drives me crazy! Really, I love it so much! It is the perfect intro for an album!
Now let's move to BLAZED, which is a collaboration with Pharrel Williams. To be honest it doesn't really drive me crazy. I mean.. There are some parts that I like very much, the rhythm takes me a lot
It's too repetitive in some parts and I personally don't like too many reps. I understand why singers like to make these types of songs: for the public the song is easier to memorize this way and so they know that everyone will sing the song with them
But I don't really like too much when there are so many reps... I think it's a bit boring. Anyway I still think that this song is pretty, adding up everything.
The third song is THE LIGHT IS COMING ft. Nicki Minaj and... what can I say about this song? It's the song I like the least about all the album.
for the same reason I told you before.. It's really too repetitive and it doesn't sweet Ariana's voice at all... it doesn't even seem a song of hers. Tbh when I first heard it I was disappointed... because the title was very interesting and so I expected more...
To be honest I like Nicki's part more.. I also like the meaning of the song, the lyrics.. but the music, the arrangement, all the reps.. so for me this song is the worst of the album and I don't understand why Ariana chose it as a single
Let me know what do you think about this song! and please don't start attacking me 'cause even if I love Ariana, there can be songs that I don't like and in my opinion it shouldn't be a problem. And so I always like to be honest.
Now let's move to R.E.M., which is the song that has been more publicized by Ari, not counting the singles, and so I expected something more from this song..
Now you are thinking that I'm criticizing all of the songs but it's just that these two songs: The light is coming and R.E.M. are the songs that I like the least, but the light is coming much less than R.E.M.
But then my favorite songs will arrive and so I'm gonna be doing many many compliments, so don't worry and keep watching the video to find it out😂
So, from R.E.M. I expected more. Sometimes it bores me a bit.. but it is still pretty.. there are some parts that I like, it's a very sweet song. So the problem isn't that I don't like it. I simply like all of the other songs more😂
So yeah, I consider it a bit boring compared to the others and I expected more because of all the advertising that Ariana has made it.
So, now that I said that to me R.E.M. is a very sweet song, I consider all of the song of this album enough sweet, 'cause the album is just called Sweetener😂, so it was to be expected.
The only problem is that maybe there are many songs too similar to each other.. let me know what do you think about it!
I prefer Dangerous woman for this reason. There are many songs various to each other. There are songs that are really eventful such as Side to side or Into you and then there are some sweet and emotional songs such as Touch it or Thinking 'bout you. It's a more varied album.
But i like so much cheerful songs too, so I appreciate so much Sweetener too! but I still think she could make more songs more various to each other.. 'cause tbh the first time I listened to it some songs seemed the same song to me..
Now that I listened to every song many times I differed them well, but at first hearing it may seem..
Then we have GOD IS A WOMAN, which is my absolute favorite song of the album. It has a wonderful meaning and I also absolutely love the video❤️: it is something of stunning! It's her best video ever!
I absolutely love this song because Ariana has always been a feminist and so with this song and this video she wanted to value the woman, to make understand the importance of the woman to those who still didn't understand it
So I thank her so much for showing how much we are worth in this awesome way. I really love this song too much!❤️
And now we already have some live performances of this song and honestly they are heaven! This song valorizes Ari's voice so much! Really, it is stunning.. it is PERFECTION!
And now we have SWEETENER, which is an another song with many reps but made in a more beautiful way. There is that part that does "get it, get it, get it, get it, hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it"
So it repeats the same word four times, but then it changes and so I like it! It is a cheerful choir!
so I would say that I really like this song! I think this is the song that reminds me more of Yours Truly! ( am I the only one who can't pronunce "Yours Truly" well? Lmao help😂)
And yeah, it's a very cheerful and sweet song and I think Ariana decided tho call this song "Sweetener" as the title of the album for this reason!
Now we have SUCCESSFUL. Tbh I don't like it too much.. it doesn't convince me.. I would say that it is still pretty but there are many songs that I like more
and the breaths at the end could be considered a little equivocal😂, even if they don't remind "that thing" to me.. but to many people they do.. Idk why! Even the lyrics doesn't drive me crazy So to me it is a pretty song, but I think there are many better songs.
And now we have EVERYTIME, which I think is my third favorite song of this album. I love it so much! The rhythm, the whole song! It is a little less sweet that some others and it is different from the other songs!
The high notes at the end are something spatial! Ariana has already sung this song live and she sings them perfectly! In my opinion this song enhances her voice so much too! I'm really very happy that this song exists!❤️ really I love it so much!
Now we have BREATHIN and this song is life! It is my second favorite song of the album, after God is a woman. It's so awesome! I'm really speechless! The atmosphere that it creates is wonderful
This song is different from the others too!. It's very intense as a song! I like a lot even the lyrics! The high notes at the end are really very beautiful and this song enhances Ariana's voice so much too!
This song is perfection!❤️ I already noticed it when I first heard it! This song was the first to really hit me! And nothing.. I adore it!
And now we have NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY. What can I say? Obviously I like so much this song too! Even if there are better songs! But I like it so much, also 'cause this is the first song of the album that has come out
I like so much the lyrics, the music, the way that this song enhances Ariana's voice, obviously the video 'cause the video did a lot to make this song a hit! This is my second favorite Ariana's video after God is a woman. So I love this song too!
Now we have BORDERLINE featuring Missy Elliot. This song has been enough criticized by many people, maybe it was the most criticized song on Instagram, when the album came out.
And I don't understand why because I like this song! I really like the beat! It isn't one of my favorite songs but I still like it! Maybe it hasn't got a precise particularity an maybe for this reason it didn't impress many people..
But I really like the rhythm, the progress of the song. Maybe I don't like very much just the Missy part.. He sings very little and so I don't know.. it doesn't seem a real collaboration to me
But I still think it's really pretty and I don't understand all of these criticisms addressed to this song! So let me know in the comments what do you think about Borderline!
Now we have BETTER OFF. This song isn't much in the style of Ariana and it is so particular! I like it so much! It's almost emotional It isn't very intense, it is enough quiet and for this reason I like it!
It is really particular! And the lyrics convinces me so much too!
Now we have GOODNIGHT N GO. I really adore this song! This song is really relaxing, especially towards the end! I think I'm gonna use this song as a lullaby!❤️
The beginning, instead, is enough pumped up, enough cheerful and so I like this difference between the end and the beginning!. I really love the lyrics, the development of the song. In my opinion this is one of the best songs of the album!❤️
Now we have PETE DAVISON, which is an interlude and for this reason it lasts that little and tbh I think the song is pretty, I like it. Above all I like so much the vocalizations
The problem is that I don't share this choice of having called the song "Pete Davison".. but it's ok.. I know that now she is really happy with him and so she wanted to dedicate a song to him..
So I understand her but I personally Wouldn't have called a song with a person's name.. 'cause the album is mine so I would have preferred giving a normal title to all of the songs. So I don't share this decision but I understand Ari.
And I'm sorry that this song lastes that little.. because it is really pretty, specially the beginning; the end not too much because it repeats many times the same sentence and y'all already know that I don't like many reps..
But adding up everything it is really pretty, I like it!
The last song of the album is GET WELL SOON and it's also the song of the first snippet that came out on December the 31st so I'm grow fonded to this song for this reason!
And tbh according to Ari's promotion of this song I expected something more.. because, also for its length, it bores me a little in some parts.. but I've read that the song lasts 5.22 minutes just to honor the date of the Manchester attack: the 22nd of May.
So for this reason the song lasts that long.. So I really understand and I think very deep and beautiful act❤️ This whole song is dedicated to the Manchester attack and to Ari's sensations after it happened.
She had even panic attacks.. poor baby! I understand her well! I suffered from them too and it's the worst sensation that exists. This song has a really deep meaning!
so musically I expected a bit more but on the level of the lyrics and of the meaning of the song I like it so much! It is really emotional! and so I would say that I like this song so much too!
Now I wanna do a ranking of my first 5 favorite songs of the album. It took me a lot of time to decide 'cause I love many songs.
1. God is a woman, no doubts 2. Breathing, no doubts. 3. Everytime, no doubts. 4. I think Goodnight n go. 5. I think No tears left to cry.
This is excluding Raindrops for its too short length. If it was a bit longer it would certainly be in my top 5! because I adore it so much!
So let me know how much do you agree with all of the things I've said. Let me know your ranking of this album (or just your top five as I did, if you want😂)
