I think there's cause for genuine concern, which can be expressed from a place of love without any judgment. I think everyone sees the difference in her appearance, and the only thing that really gives me comfort is that with how prevalent the discourse has been surrounding that topic, there's absolutely no way it wouldn't have reached the ears of inner circle folks who could help. That's if there is anything to be done, because I can't really make assumptions about what is wrong (other than it's apparent that something is). If it's simply a matter of being receptive to receiving assistance from people who care, I hope she is able to open herself to that.

Album being what it is, I'd say she has definitely used music as a way of contending with any personal challenges. Whatever ugly things she may or may not be going through, this is a beautifully flourishing triumph over it.

The thing that really rings as concerning is right over there in her newest music video. Despite her obvious thin physique that looks off, one of the comments she receives on one of the forms is that she could stand to lose a few more pounds.

That's certainly something; people online love to throw medical terms and illnesses around with minimal information and declare this is some sort of ED (which could be the case), but at the end of the day, like Sowing said, we don't have the details + the widespread discussion surely has reached the ears of people that are close to her. If there's an issue to be addressed, I hope she gets what she needs.

The album does indeed sound and feel therapeutic and revealing, so hopefully this release cycle motivates her in some way to address that.



Anyway, @Sowing: Yours Truly OVER Sweetener and positions? Damn

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah that's disgusting. Clearly a troll comment but people with these kinds of issues don't need to be reading that. I know it's yt or whatever and there's not really much moderation but that should be deleted ASAP.

And yeah, Sweetener was such a let down for me personally after Dangerous Woman. I loved 'God Is A Woman's but precious little grabbed me outside of that. Positions did almost nothing for me, period. I very much prefer her earlier stuff to any post-DW album that isn't this or thank u, next.

I won't go into personal details of course, but my wife has struggled with eating disorders in the past and has come dangerously close before to those issues being life threatening. Thankfully these issues happened years ago, but still.



With that in mind - I seriously think Ariana needs professional help ASAP. I'm seeing a lot of red flags in her that remind me of my wife's lowest, most unhealthiest points.

The sad truth is you can't help those who don't want to be helped. It is no different from drug addiction.

Yeah, really hoping she gets healthy and accepts whatever help is required.

friggin finally figurted out what that hate that i amde u love me single remindededed me of the helana deland album with all the super compres2!sed drumb samples com comblined with their wispy vocal style


l,ike is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Neulrlvnw (drums come in halfway pew a song)

Wow, very surprising album. Dreamy, floaty, pretty. And with a lot of emotion. Everything flows really well. It actually might be her best album.

nice review sowing. not sure ill check this out tho, didnt care for the singles and havent enjoyed anything she's done since thank u next. plus all the wicked stuff has made her kind of annoying. big fall off vibes for me. that said you're clearly a much bigger fan of hers than i was so.... shrug

Album Rating: 5.0

yea, definitely no need to force indulge given that info. One thing I'll say is this is pretty different from anything she's done before, and is even more unified as an album than thank u, next, but I adored the lead single and think it's one of the stronger tracks here -- so if that did nothing for you, then that's probably a good enough indicator!

I see what you did there

Album Rating: 3.0

really nice review sowing, my gf loves her music but never gelled with me, maybe because of some of the "issues" you pointed in the review



that being said, your review makes it sound like she made a dreampop/indie album and I'm intrigued, will be jamming

Album Rating: 5.0

It would not be far-fetched at all to say this has dream pop elements

Still retains her core DNA but I have a feeling you'll like this more than her previous works Asura

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm gonna my score for this a little bit. Listened to it again over the weekend and found I enjoyed it more the second go-around.

Album Rating: 5.0

I was hesitant to crown this thing too hastily but yeah it's quite easily her best IMO

Album Rating: 2.5

It is far from her best (yes I did not rate any of her other albums even though I listened to 3 others) but I just find this one so uninspired , one note and boring.. But maybe im just too harsh on the album itself..

Album Rating: 5.0

Everyone has different taste! Maybe it'll grow, who knows. I'm just partial to atmospheric/indie-leaning pop like this.

Really enjoyed this after 1 spin. Gotta see how it settles after a few more
