#POSITIONS ALBUM TV#
Taken alongside the album’s light sprinkling of assurances that the singer has overcome the anxiety and depression that plagued her during 2018, it feels like a concerted effort not just to divest a former kids TV star of any lingering vestiges of their old squeaky-clean image, but to shift public perceptions of Grande away from the brave, tragedy-struck figure of recent years. Some of these are straightforward – there’s a lot of stuff about keeping it up – but some of them she feels impelled to explain: “Means I wanna 69 with you,” she offers on 34+35, for the benefit of anyone who’s literally failed to do the math. But from the title down, Positions’ primary occupation is the state of Ariana Grande’s sex life, expressed directly (“fuck me til the daylight”, “this pussy designed for you”), a little clunkily (“you might need a seatbelt when I ride it”) and through the medium of double entendres.
There’s a token song about our old friends the haters (Shut Up) and a bit of self-help stuff about meditating and manifesting your wishes by writing them down and sending them “to heaven” (Just Like Magic). But anyone who expected Grande to return to the vague politicking of 2018’s The Light Is Coming – a track built around a sample of an angry rightwing crowd protesting Obamacare – is in for a disappointment. Positions arrived at short notice, a few days before the US election, which seemed pointed.
#POSITIONS ALBUM FULL#
All those weeks carefully teasing your new album via Twitter with coy snatches of lyrics, insistences that you’re so excited about it that you “can’t stop crying” and links to websites where fans can buy a bundle of three CDs (identical save for the marginally different poses on each cover), and you’re gazumped by a grotty British tabloid in full stick-it-up-your-punter mode. This must clearly irk the 27-year-old singer. They seemed to have forgotten to use the phrases “sexSATIONAL” and “too shocking to print in a family newspaper”, but otherwise it was all present and correct: from “x-rated” and “steamy” to “bares all” and “sizzling” to the classic implication that they were printing all this out of a sense of moral duty: “Lyrics that will shock many parents of her young fans.” The ensuing lyrical analysis proceeded in time-honoured tabloid style. “THANK U, SEX!” screamed the headline in the Sun (in reference to her last album, 2019’s Thank U, Next), above a news story that promised Positions would reveal “graphic detail about all-night romps”. But the unscheduled appearance of Ariana Grande’s sixth studio album in the darker corners of the internet earlier this week provoked something different entirely. Safety Net.O ver the years, pre-release leaks of big albums have provoked everything from collapses in sales of the actual product to legal action. Furthermore, rapper Ty Dolla Sign marks his collab with Ariana in the seventh track of Positions album, i.e. The third song on the album, titled Motive, features Say So crooner Doja Cat, while the fifth track titled Off The Table marks her collaboration with songster The Weeknd.
Out of all the 14 tracks that comprise the latest album of the global singing sensation, only three songs feature some highly-popular artists like Ty Dolla Sign, Doja Cat and The Weeknd. However, with Positions' release, all the admirers of Ariana are convinced that the album takes a plunge from her last and fifth studio album, Thank U Next. Ever since the album has been released by the Into You crooner, it has become a trending topic of discussion for fans on social media.
