Ariana Grande (2018)
“Honestly, this album has moments that slap really hard and others that feel a bit all over the place. There’s a mix of pop, R&B, trap and experimental stuff that doesn’t always hang together the smoothest, so sometimes it feels more like random vibes than a cohesive record. When it’s good, it’s really good but some tracks drag or feel kinda just… there. I also think R.E.M. being a Beyoncé demo originally (it came from an unreleased Beyoncé/Pharrell song “Wake Up” before Ari made it her own) adds an interesting backstory and makes that track hit extra hard for fans who know that history.”
