Dear Reader Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Surprised this hasn’t leaked yet honestly. She really just be so mad over those leaks that she locked everything up 1
Bencharmer Posted March 6 Posted March 6 (edited) I have a love/indifferent relationship to Positions. It has a loungy vibe i love getting into. The album works great as a whole but i don't tend to listen to it every often. Edited March 6 by Bencharmer

LESS THAN 2 DAYS AH on the other hand republic executives said the album is very ariana and an elevated version of what she’s done before. i think the album is just a complete switch up from the sound she was heading towards with her last three albums (which is what A LOT of people asked for) and that might’ve thrown him off 1

The evolution of the last 3, 4 albums is evident, even the ones that don't appreciate R&B Ari are aware of it. She had a pretty clear sound on every album, her goal, musically, was pretty clear on all of them. This one? i don't get it. Maybe once i hear the full thing again i may, but to be honest i doubt it. It just all sounds pretty been there done that, or worse, that others have already done, and better. The same opinion applies to Max. There are plenty of songs by him that i feel "heard it before", but that is the first time with a full album. I guess i would highlight "The boy is mine" (that is, for sure, the song she mentioned as being inspired by "Fantasy") and "Don't wanna break up again". But just to be a bit of a jerk, and tease u all a bit: I enjoy Fantasy more than anything on this album =p
Solaria Posted March 6 Posted March 6 No tea no shade but I can already tell the R&Biana stans are gonna be so annoying about this album if it does turn out to be mostly pop 2

True story is coming 2

Everytime/Goodnight N Go/Thinkin' Bout You/Ghostlin feels more of the "pop" this album is infused with.
Slate Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Based on True Story alone this is gonna be album of the century idc

State of Grace. Posted March 6 Posted March 6 37 minutes ago, Solaria said: No tea no shade but I can already tell the R&Biana stans are gonna be so annoying about this album if it does turn out to be mostly pop I don't think so. Judging by the reactions and reviews of fans/people who've heard the album so far, this won't be My Everything/Dangerous Woman-like pop. I do trust the Popjustice user who said this: Quote I actually think a Sweetener comparison is fair. Mainly due to a lot of it being fairly mellow, along the lines of the back half of that album. Lyrically, it reminds me of aspects of Thank U, Next and Sweetener. It’s personal, but like she described in the Zach Sang interview, not every song is a clear in-your-face rebuttal to the stories about her personal life. Production-wise, it’s varied, but settles in a space that is most comparable to the back half of Sweetener and even hints of Positions, but it’s not nearly as R&B. The more uptempo moments don’t fit nicely with any of her previous albums, which is fun (but I think that’s clear from yes, and? alone). It’s a varied pop affair, but the songs sit alongside each other nicely. Sweetener/TUN's poppy tracks are very loved by her core fanbase. I feel like both Popiana/R&Biana stans will be satisfied, unless the latter group expected something heavily R&B inspired. 1

She really just be so mad over those leaks that she locked everything up I wonder how many people got FIRED over the last two years because I'm really shook at how she managed to keep it LOCKED UP Spoiler Was it one of yall here who mentioned that Tommy being absent from this album is allegedly due to them having a falling out because he could be involved in her songs leaking? It sounds like Ariolas fanfictions but idk

We also got like 20+ Pharrell leaks. Also Max's was the only one where NEW post-Positions material leaked.
Miracle Posted March 6 Posted March 6 1 hour ago, Solaria said: No tea no shade but I can already tell the R&Biana stans are gonna be so annoying about this album if it does turn out to be mostly pop It's clearly gonna be her most pop album since Dangerous Woman and at least for me, that's a good thing. Most of her best moments since DQ have been poppier (No Tears Left To Cry, God Is A Woman, Breathe, bad idea, LOVE language, damn, even positions the song is on the poppier side of RnB) 5 1
