Album review: sweetener
(a thread)
note: I, many times, have said this is ariana’s “worst” album to date, this is simply not true. What i actually mean is sweetener has more skips than her other albums. (i love all of her albums)
track 1: an angel cried

her best intro. her vocals snapped and 😩 perfect.

rating: 10/10
track 2: blazed

i think pharrel did a great job with this track. personally, i think the instrumentals are a bit repetitive, otherwise the vocal production is good, ari & pharrel sound surprising good together.

rating: 8/10
track 3: the light is coming

This track deserves all the hate it gets. it really bad and yeah. nicki’s verse added nothing to the track. the annoying man in the background is, annoying. the only thing i liked about this track is the chorus.

rating: 4/10
track 4: R.E.M

i have mixed feelings about this track. i love the production, ari sounds good but the song is too long maybe if the song was shorter it would’ve gotten a higher rating.

rating: 7/10
track 5: God is a woman

I love this track, one of the best from this album. alongside its powerful message, ariana gives us powerful vocals. Ilya never disappoints with his pproduction skills and gives us a smash hit!

rating 10/10
track 6: sweetener

Sweetener is fun song, the chorus is catchy af, and her vocals served. a solid track.

rating: 9/10
track 7: successful

i hate this song

rating: 1/10
track 7: everytime

literally the best song from this album. ari did not disappoint. from production to vocals, she served and we left no crumbs. love this song.

rating 11/10
track 8: breathin

dont really have anything to say about this track, its a good song and yea.

rating: 8/10
track 9: no tears left to cry

hands down the best comeback of this generation (along with we belong together). the production is solid, the lyrics are meaningful and ofc her vocals ate.

rating: 9/10
track 11: borderline

This song is ok. its not good nor bad. the production is boring, missy’s verse was too short, and overall a meh track.

rating: 6/10
track 12: better off

chill song, love ari’s lower register on this track, made me cry once. awesome production & deep lyrics.

rating: 10/10
track 13: goodnight n go

amazing track, she picked the right sample for this song. AND THE ENDING, WE WAS LIKE AHHHHH!

rating: 9/10
track 14: pete davidson

Cute interlude. Pete is hot af and can do anything he wants with me.

rating: 8.5/10
track 15: get well soon

the most underrated song on this album. The vocal layering is godly, and the lyrics are cute. this is how you finish off an album.

rating: 9/10
