It is a good song and it fits on the album just fine. Enough with the slander. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrahim Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) On the second listen so far, the album is starting to gel really well with my ears. Be Best The Boy is Mine (the clear winner) Bye True Story Ordinary Things Imperfect for You Don't Wanna Break Up Again Eternal Sunshine We Can't Be Friends (reminds me of Robyn's Dancing On My Own) After 3, it gets hard to rank. Solid: I Wish I Hated You Supernatural Yes, And? Her harmonies and melodies are on point. With her previous albums, there were a handful of excellent standout tracks. But this album is -- by far -- more cohesive, quality consistent, and listenable. I surprisingly do not hate or find any track that I'm indifferent to. There aren't any bad or filler tracks. Ordinary Things is a perfect closer. There are a lot of elements to a few of the songs that seem to be the solidification of what might be her "signature" sound a la "Imagine" in a few of these tracks. I do wish "Yes, And?" really tapped into more of Mariah's sensibilities of how she actually handles remixes. I would even imagine that Ariana would have been perfectly fine with a complete reworking of her track with both of them laying down new vocals but I suspect Mariah didn't want to assert that kind of dominance on a song that ain't hers.

SharGaga Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) So happy she did a concept album. It seriously is so genius the way the album tells an entire story from the beginning to end, pretty much addressing all of the stuff that's been happening and we didn't know was happening. TUN & this album instantly clicked with me. Both albums were made in a few months but they are some of her best work. You can tell she was going through so much it all just poured out of her. That's a true artist right there. Edited March 9 by SharGaga 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Ariana she basically told Mariah to do whatever she wanted with the song. But I mean the remix isn't even on the album so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Summer Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I actually forgot this was out this week instead of next because life has been busy, then my boyfriend played The Boy Is Mine in the car - and mind you, I didn’t even know that this track was even announced. I heard it and had to stop and pause, like jaw dropped, like a MOMENT. When I tell you I was shook to my core! So now I’ve been listening to the whole album since I got home. Absolutely stunning IMO, and an excellent follow-up to Positions, which I loved. Ari never, ever fails to bring quality. I LOVE this album. I think it fits in perfectly with the rest of her discography. I really hope her next album doesn’t take quite as long, because I really missed this feeling! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldwide angel Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 i can't stop streaming this album from front to back she's always been an underrated album's artist imo but sweetener - present really proves that shes evolving, maturing and it shows in the music. each album has their own identity while unveiling a new layer to ariana. eternal sunshine feels like the best of all of her albums while also serving as an exciting foundation for what ariana could achieve musically this decade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
