Ariana Grande (2025)

8.3/ 10

“Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine was already a stunning exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery, but Brighter Days Ahead expands its emotional depth with six new tracks that bring hope and healing into the mix. Standouts like “Twilight Zone” explore transformation with dreamy production, while “Hampstead” delivers raw vulnerability, made even more poignant by its black-and-white music video featuring Grande’s father. Tracks like “Dandelion” and “Warm” offer a lighter, ethereal contrast to the original album’s heartbreak. Beyond the music, the 26-minute short film that accompanies the deluxe edition adds a cinematic layer to the album’s themes, blending sci-fi aesthetics with deeply personal storytelling. Grande’s signature breathy vocals, intricate harmonies, and sleek production make Brighter Days Ahead a perfect addition to Eternal Sunshine. The deluxe edition brings a sense of closure and optimism, making an already impressive album feel even more complete.”
