Although, it wasn’t that long ago it’s felt like forever since the last time Ariana Grande released her fifth studio album ‘thank u, next’ in 2019.  
After what for some reason, in my opinion felt like years (maybe its the pandemic thats giving me that feeling), we get to hear what ponytail queen, Ariana has been working on in the studio. Grande released this new body of work today Oct. 30th, 7 days after the release of her lead single of the same name titled “Positions”. 
As I pressed play on the album “Positions” the familiarity of the beautiful wispy and airy voice of Ari instantly took me away. There’s a distinct sound that Ariana has that just works, it will never get old. What do they say? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! She has this R&B voice with a mix of pop and hip-hop beats with classical instruments in the background that make her music something we can’t wait to hear. The violin seems to always be present and I love that. The violin + Ariana’s voice = dynamic duo. You can also expect to hear other familiar voices such as Doja Cat, The Weeknd, and Ty Dolla $ign. 
I knew one my favorites right away was going to be the second song “34+35″, I relate to the lyrics in the pre-chorus:”I’ve been drinking coffee, and I’ve been eating healthy…” during this quarantine I’ve fallen in love with a daily dose of coffee and eating healthy, well, sort of, i’m trying! 
Overall, if “Positions” is one thing it’s SEXY. We know Ariana Grande loves singing about love and the rollercoaster of emotions it comes with like heartbreak and then back in love again. But with her sixth studio album, Ariana is showing more of her sex appeal than we’ve ever heard before with a song such as “nasty” thats title speaks for itself. I give it a 10/10.
