poll Will AG7 be a turning point for pop/R&B?

[suburbannature]

Hear me out.

 

It’s common knowledge that popular music and mainstream R&B trends have shifted from big vocals and traditional R&B production to trap-driven whisper singing. Music is cyclical and major trends will always find their way back. 90s sampling, rap features, true remixes and other elements have again become prominently used, but could Ariana’s next album be that starting point for the once-dominant 90s-00s R&B/pop meld to make a mainstream comeback? I’m talking full-chest singing, big choruses, climaxes; the works. 
 

People have been longing for Ariana to fully embrace this sound for some time, but will she do it and will it stick in popular music?

 

Discuss.

No, Ariana is done commercially. The signs of decline are pretty obvious, and her nexr record will flop. 

[Sheep]

Yes, Ariana is one of the strongest artists in a generation commercially. The signs of an incoming r&b genre defining record are pretty obvious, and her nexr record will eat.

[katyberry]

Of course but that's only if it's something popular and different from what others are releasing today like Fantasize 

[West Coast]

A U-Turn maybe

I think so too. 
 

she fumbled the bag so hard. This long break was a mistake. Plus the home wrecker fiasco pretty much killed her career. 

[FanService]

Why would it be? It’ll be just another McDonalds’d album full of cheap trap beats that will sound dated in 2 years lmao

[Devin]

i want more R&B Grande but i feel like she will do something electro-pop.

[Blue.]

No, Ariana is a follower, she has never done anything that has defined music, nor will she now.

[OnikaSlays]

wasn’t she in the studio with Max & Ilya? it’s probably going to be pop leaning.

do fiascos/scandals/cancellings really have a big impact tho? i fear not



anyway, i think she'll just go for super pop sound

 

[Johnny Jacobs]

I think she will come with a new sound (for her) and shock us. At best it will be more pop but it will still sound alot like her last albums

oh i lost

[BLΔCKP!NK]

no

[Jay07]

It will just be another sweetener/thank u, next. Some pop bops, some cute but forgettable r&b tracks but nothing era defining, I fear. And I like those albums.

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

lol

[elincomprendid]

The album is produced by Max, it’ll be a meaningless album with pop radio hits that gonna be forgotten in a year as usual

[Communion]

Yes, the people are ready for Eternally. 

 

 

[Infinity]

Yes

[Riverbank]

With Max Martin on board I don't think she'll fully lean into the R&B sound

[KatyPrismSpirit]

i have a feeling it might. i think this will be one of her best albums and that she will finally be able to be on that dangerous woman / swt & thank u next peak ariana level but more mature. kinda how rihanna came back stronger than ever with ANTI after putting out albums annually for years but in a pop sense. And even if she might not go #1 this time around, if the album is good it might serve longevity this time around (most of her albums burn out after approx 1-2 yeaes)

the daydream promo

 

OT: I pray that this is the album that she levels up with, kind of like sweetener   if that means a daydream era in respects to her artistry and career

then i hope so
