Ariana Grande's Discography Revisited and Reviewed
Ariana Grande is armed with a mesmerizing vocal register. Starting as an actor for the 2009 Nickelodeon series "Victorious", surprisingly, she wasn't even a singer on the show. But after wrapping up on the show, she began working on her first studio album, the now "Yours Truly" released in 2013. She set a tone, a message for the pop industry hits after hits. Moving forward, she's released the soft and bubbly sophomore LP "My Everything", then in 2016, landing to the vocal-forward and daring "Dangerous Woman" album. The hits were non-stopping, setting a scene in the music industry. There was controversy, mistakes, choices were made. It's 2017, she released three chart-topping, show-stopping albums, and she's across the globe on her Dangerous Woman world tour. In 2017, A shrapnel bomb explosion caused the death of 22 concert-goers and more than 800 injuries. But that didn't stop Grande from continuing her tour, brave enough to continue doing tours without thoughts of terror, because that's the point of terrorism. 2018 comes by silently, Grande saw the colors and released her comeback single, in response to the bombing, "no tears left to cry". Then, her fourth album "Sweetener" was brought to the eyes of the world. Covered with rap beats and hippy-tinged hits, it felt like a new sound for Grande, she was released from all the things holding back. But she spoke too soon. Grande’s ex-boyfriend and collaborator, rapper Mac Miller, died from an overdose, and she broke off her engagement with SNL star Pete Davidson a few weeks later. But what do you do when things fall apart? If you’re Ariana Grande, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and head for the studio. The now-"thank u, next" era has begun. She released "thank u, next" the single, and announced an album of the same name. She put out the album to critical acclaim. So what was next for Ariana Grande-Butera? The Covid-19 pandemic began in March 2020 which broke everyone apart. We were indoors, bored and exhausted. Ariana, as she does honorably, did it again, she broke the silence. A new single, Positions was here. It was election time and the single's visuals featured Grande as the president. She was in the bedroom, cooking, and even awarding a USPS mailer. She was "switching them positions for you". "Positions", the surprising sixth album by Ariana Grande arrived. Supported by collaborations by Doja Cat, The Weeknd, and Ty Dolla $ign, Positions was her most "soulish" album with experimentation. She hit a few whistles, created a few melodies, and even did some rapping on the playful "34+35". The rest is just history for Ariana Grande. She is nothing if not a testament to the power of being true to yourself. But there's a lot to unpack. Down below are my reviews of Ariana Grande's discography from her most recent albums 1-6.

The title relates to the only time I met and chatted with Dr John Cooper Clarke. I am not sure when I first came across him but I remember buying the Rabid EP “Innocents” in the nineteen seventies, which opened with “Suspended Sentence” and then the title song and backed with “Psycle Sluts Part 1 and 2”. I saw him on TV working at a Manchester University doing a good Bob Dylan impression in his looks.

The Emmy’s is a prestigious award that so many artists try to attain at some point in their career. Viola Davis’s award for the outstanding female lead in a TV drama was ground-breaking for women of color in 2015. She stated as much in her acceptance speech. Her use of language at the root is powerful in that it is bold, brave, simple, and straight forward. She uses the rhetorical vehicles of metaphor and inclusion to help the audience visualize the line that is being crossed in the film/TV industry and that opportunity is coming.
