もうそろそろ落ちめの Ariana Grande

と思っていたがこの高得点。

 

ベースの音色含め

90sはじめくらいのマイケルやら

charaが出てきたあたりの風味を

感じさせる。

 

 

正直、初聴きの時点では、アルバムとしては

あまり面白味を感じておらず

なんでここまでの高得点になっているのか

よくわからず。

 

スルメ的な良さが

じわじわ出てくる可能性はあるかも。


 

 

 

“How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship? Aren’t you supposed to really know that shit?” Ariana Grande asks at the start of ‘Eternal Sunshine’, her seventh studio album. The answer seems to come on final track ‘Ordinary Things’, courtesy of some sage advice from the singer’s Nonna. “Never go to bed without kissing goodnight – it’s the worst thing to do,” Marjorie Grande tells her granddaughter as the music fades out. “And if you can’t, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing it, you’re in the wrong place. Get out.”

These intimate moments act as bookends for ‘Eternal Sunshine’, a quasi-break-up album on which Grande doesn’t so much paint a portrait of a relationship as piece together an impressionistic mosaic. In a recent interview on the Zach Sang Show, Grande described ‘Eternal Sunshine’ as a “kind of concept album” exploring “different, heightened pieces of the same story”. That story, presumably, is the breakdown of her marriage to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, whom she divorced last October around two years after they tied the knot. Tabloids and stans have since attempted to piece together a timeline around her rumoured romance with Wicked costar Ethan Slater.
