Ariana Grande - Eternal Sunshine

[POP!]

6 new songs

Inevitably no longer than 2 minutes apiece but perched nonetheless!

 

[Pipo]

is this a deluxe edition of the previous deluxe edition?

 

[Iguana]

is this a deluxe edition of the previous deluxe edition?

They are both the sole deluxe edition.

 

[PercyPig]

Ooooft!

 

[Berly]

Her best album I think so I’m here for more

[Christian]

Hampstead Heath cruising concept album confirmed!

Inevitably no longer than 2 minutes apiece but perched nonetheless!

I stand corrected!

 

[K.C.]

@dUb "dandelion". Do you think...?

 

[funky]

Thank GOD for proper running times

 

[Suedehead]

Considering I had no interest in the original Eternal Sunshine apart from We Can’t be Friends let’s see how this pans out for Miss Grande and Suede

She just doesn’t make good albums does she

Lovely singles artist thou

 

[Apoca]

Eternal Sunshine is such a good album, time to do a Suede-turn! @Suedehead

Easily her best work so far.

@dUb "dandelion". Do you think...?

Why??

Edit: ohhhh PETALS SEQUEL

I just don't know if I can deal with her voice for a whole album.
I like her songs individually when I hear them out or on a playlist, but she's very much a 'less is more' type of artist for me.

 

[Christian]

I could listen to her sing the phone book, that voice is gorgeous.

The album is so beautifully bittersweet from start to finish, and every song delivers.

 

[Iguana]

I agree, it's a very consistent album and her voice is like butter throughout. It's all quite subtle.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I really liked this album too, it’s mostly the slightly more downbeat stuff I really enjoyed. My album rank (for those I’ve heard)

1 Sweetener
2 Thank U, Next
3 Eternal Sunshine
4 Dangerous Woman
5 Positions

 

[Tisch]

STUNNING. Robyn vibes (which I get from some of the parent album as well)

 

[Apoca]

Lovely extension - Twilight Zone and Warm (which is wonderfully filthy) are the standouts.

 

[Iguana]

I really liked past life

 

[Jark]

I really liked past life

that was my standout too. all are very good

 

[POP!]

 

[POP!]

Three of them debuted in the US Spotify top ten.

 

[Apoca]

Twilight Zone will be gobbled up by radio the next weeks - deservedly so.

 

[funky]

It went straight to a list on radio 1 and radio 2

 

[Christian]

Twilight Zone was my immediate standout.

This is a brilliant add on to the original album. Totally in keeping with the original style, and she's not shying away from staying with the confessional lyrics. It's made her best album even better.

 

[Christian]

The short film:



Ariana ascending to the spaceship to the sounds of "Supernatural" in the Castle In The Sky reference is an absolute moment.

Oh I thought this meant for FREE. Who is paying $10 for INSTRUMENTALS?

ALSO: "Please note, digital downloads are only available in the U.S."

Must be chart related then haha

 

[Christian]

It's no different to paying for 5 different vinyl colour variants surely. Though maybe it is, as at least you're getting something new

True: I wouldn't do that EITHER!

Most definitely. HITS midweek projection had her 1k behind #1.

 

[funky]

Wow, "Warm" is STUNNING. The production, OMG.

It's a great accompaniment to "We Can't Be Friends" - it should have been on the original album.

 

[funky]

“Warm” now officially my favourite Ariana song EVER.

What a song to listen to in the summer sun

 

[Apoca]

Easily her tightest body of work including brighter days ahead - reminiscent of What’s Your Pleasure in terms of having a rerelease that perfectly expands on the original.

 

[FetchFugly]

Agree this is an excellent deluxe, and it is very comfortably the most enjoyable I've found an Ariana album.

 

[Joseph]

It’s definitely her most consistent body of work for me. Pretty much all of her other albums I only really enjoy a handful of songs on. I can’t say I hate anything on this.

The Boy Is Mine is the weakest thing there.
