Ariana Grande

Positions

[Republic Records]

Ariana Grande swaps pain for pleasure on a low-key set of sensual R&B jams with Positions.

It’s good to hear a more carefree and explicit version of the pop goddess after the tumultuous life events that led to the creation of 2019’s triumphant thank u, next, but the flipside is a relative lack of depth and introspection. Still, you may be too busy vibing to the sound of Grande getting her swagger back to care much.
