While I was taking a study break on October 14th, I was not expecting the ~amazing~ news that I got. I was texting my friends when I got a Twitter notification from Ariana Grande that said “I can’t wait to give u my album this month.” I immediately jumped out of my seat and got up and started dancing. I was so excited. I have been a major Ariana fan since the Victorious days. Ariana is such an inspirational, encouraging woman in the music industry. But let’s discuss more about the album.
We do not know much about the album, but Ariana did post this to her Instagram on October 17th. This led people to think that the name of her single (coming out this Friday!) could be called “POSITIONS,” or it could be the name of her album. We know that the album is coming out on October 30th, and if you cannot wait for the release day, take a look at this countdown.
Since this album is coming as such a surprise, nobody knows what it will be about. Although, I have a few guesses. Ariana is a major feminist, which is amazing. I have a feeling this theme will be present in her album, since it has been present in her past albums and songs, most notably “God is a woman” off her fourth album Sweetener. Ariana has also been extremely vocal about the current issues in the world such as Black Lives Matter, the election, and COVID. I have a feeling that her album will somehow showcase these important issues to raise awareness.
Even if this is not what the album is about, I am absolutely certain that it will be ~incredible~. I have been listening to her current music on repeat ever since I found out she would be releasing new material. Once the single comes out on Friday, we will have a better understanding of what we can expect from the album.
