burninredhot Posted March 8 Posted March 8 the boy is mine is such an obvious 2nd single choice but i get why she didn't didn't choose it after yes and
ElectricStyle Posted March 8 Posted March 8 supernatural one of my fav ariana songs ever godriana did THAT
DangerousNicky Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I keep coming back to The Boy is Mine oh my god,,,,,,, that beat is laced with crack and the little slowing down before the chorus drops is SO addicting I'm so glad she fed us Fantasize stans don't know about the rest but I like TBIM it better than it, recency bias aside the lyrics are less corny, Fantasize only wins on the prechorus melody for me, the rest goes to The Boy is Mine. The people's 2nd single
pinkbowvintage Posted March 8 Posted March 8 WOW just found out she self-wrote most of the songs' lyrics. songwriting queen!

ariananext Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 When everybody dragged her for poor songwriting and amount of writers but then when she does it alone she delivers her best written project 1 4
Doogle Posted March 8 Posted March 8 the boy is mine transporting me to 2004 tho. Get me to the CLUB!!!
Mezter Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I want a long era so bad. Supernatural, True Story and The Boy is mine all need to be smash hits 1
nasa Posted March 8 Posted March 8 so what cover do we think best fits the album now that we heard it? i think the one with her hands over the face tbh 1
Kristie Kuwa Posted March 8 Posted March 8 (edited) So on my initial listen, I want to commend Ariana on actually creating a real ALBUM in the sense that the album has a clear identity, both sonically and lyrically. I appreciate that the lyrical content is very auto-biographical and lets us into her world. You can tell she created music that reflected her life and is personal to her. I do think that at times, the songs lack a little bit of a punch, but that just might be a first impression that changes when dissecting the background vocals and intricacies a bit more. I do think some songs get a bit lost in the pack and are not so memorable, thus i would give the album a real solid 7.5/10. One last thought: I totally understand the choice of releasing Yes, And as the lead. Aris reputation was in the pits due to her scandal, thus she needed a reintroduction that would soften the blow. Imho, yes and did that. Sonically tho, Bye would've been the obvious lead single since it literally screams "***** im here and im back". Its kind of a bummer that her personal life did not really allow Bye to become the lead. It should definitely become a single at one point. Also, the second single is a bad decision imho. To choose the obvious rip off of Robyns Dancing On My Own just doesnt do the album justice and is a BAD choice imho, especially when Bye, Dont Wanna Break Up Again and Imperfect for you were right there Edited March 8 by Kristie Kuwa
