Ariana Grande balances vulnerability with confidence on her seventh studio album, “Eternal Sunshine.” This emotional and fun pop project, released March 8, showcases Grande’s artistry at a new level, as she co-produced every single track and self-wrote the lyrics on six of the 13 songs on the project, both things she has never done before.
Production wise, overall Grande steps into a pop and R&B genre blend that steps away from the trap-based tracks that dominated some of her most popular works, like “Sweetener” and “thank you, next.” Although “Eternal Sunshine,” sounds like a blend of all of Grande’s previous releases, the more complex, dance-infused production makes the album standout.
