Ariana Grande shares ‘thank u, next’ album, accompanied by sultry new music video [Stream/Watch]
Coachella‘s soon-to-be youngest headliner ever, Ariana Grande has delivered an expedient succession to her Sweetener album, released August of 2018.
The 12-track Thank u next, which includes the album’s wall-to-wall eponymous lead single and equally sensational “7 rings,” is out now on Republic Records. The album is a stylistic departure for Grande, as she continues her delve into more pronounced hip-hop accents, with trap beats galore and Grande’s rap-singing on a number of tracks. Her most emotionally charged work to date, the listener gets a front seat as Grande mourns, forgives (but doesn’t forget), and reflects on her circuitous relationship history, most recently her breakup with Saturday Night Live comic, Pete Davidson.
The release is accompanied by the official music video for “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored,” the album’s concluding track. So far, two of the tracks from thank u, next have eclipsed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100: “7 rings” and “thank u, next.” While Grande may be flaunting her newfound onto-the-next-one attitude, her thickly layered latest album demands full engrossment from its listeners throughout its duration.
