Info for petal

Grande described petal as “something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.” The release adds a new full-length to a catalog that has produced nine Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits and seven No. 1 song debuts. Grande also made chart history as the first artist since The Beatles to hold the top three spots on the Hot 100 simultaneously, with “7 rings,” “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored,” and “thank u, next.” In 2020, she became the first artist to debut three songs at No. 1 on the Hot 100 within a single calendar year. Those milestones arrive alongside a screen career that has recently brought her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.

“Petal” possesses a kind of somber R&B swagger indebted to SZA’s smoothness; “Freak” plays out like a waking dream, or maybe a nightmare — a breezy confessional with hazy vocal overdubs. There are none of her signature runs, no larger-than-life vocal moment. Grande has moved on, as she is entitled to do. But is her “Big Feelings” subtlety enough to keep loyalists engaged?

A raunchier, dynamic Grande reappears on the album’s final and best third, particularly atop the blown-out bass on “Like I Do,” or on the line “The grass is way greener / Since I been beneath ya” on the slow burn “Never Get Over Me.” It floats in and out, allowing album standout “Bad Thing (Bunny Hop)” to hit with the rush of a crush — its intended purpose, with the song’s blast of dream-pop guitars, The Weeknd -esque propulsion and butterflies-in-the-stomach lyricism with her characteristically creative enunciation. (An example: “Feeling like a teenager / I guess I really needed ya.”) It leads to the closer “Nowhere, Nobody,” with its retro vocal melody and vocoder effects.

Ariana Grande
With her powerful voice and extraordinary vocal range, Ariana Grande is regarded as one of the most successful pop artists of our time. A singer, actress, and former Broadway star, Ariana Grande has won countless awards and has graced the covers of *Vogue* and *TIME* magazine. With consistent precision, she has transcended genres—drawing on elements of pop, R&B, soul, and electronic music—to create something unmistakably new.

*Yours Truly*, her 2013 debut album, spawned the groundbreaking, triple-platinum smash hit "The Way" (feat. Mac Miller) and showcased her incredible vocal versatility. Since then, the superstar has been inundated with awards and accolades. Her very second album, *My Everything*, earned her a Grammy nomination.

Her latest album, *Positions*, also stormed straight to number one on the US charts. The singles "Positions" and "34+35" were massive chart successes. The latter even appeared in a remix featuring superstars Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion, quickly skyrocketing in popularity on the platform TikTok.

This album contains no booklet.
