From headlining the 2019 Coachella, winning her first grammy and making music history Ariana Grande shows the world how to make a come back from dark times.

Ariana Grande released her new album “thank u, next” on Feb. 8, and needless to say, fans were excited. The music video for the hit song “thank u, next,” was filled with 90s pop-culture references as well as famous artists and influencers. It undeniably had all of Ariana’s fans pumped for new songs. The album was a huge success and it has been at the top of multiple charts all around the world.

This being the album post Miller’s death and the break off of her engagement to Pete Davidson, everyone had high hopes for the new songs. The album fulfilled everyone’s expectations with strong, emotional and meaningful songs. The fans’ response to the album was huge and the speculations about what or who each song is about made “thank u, next” even more popular.

The album has a range of songs that touch on break ups, relationships and not needing men at all. Billboard described the album as full of “deep, bass-driven bangers with trap beats alternating with airy, sad ballads.” With the hits “7 rings,” “break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored” and “thank you, next,” Ariana Grande became the first artist to hold the No. 1, 2 and 3 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart simultaneously since The Beatles.

Grande talked to Billboard in a extensive interview about her process of writing, the emotions and the meaning behind lyrics for her. “A lot of it sounds really upbeat, but it’s actually a super-sad chapter,” Grande told Billboard, “This [album is] not particularly uplifting.”

This comeback from the “Sweetener” era shows how powerful Grande is and feels now. She makes a statement on how she’s a strong and independent woman who needs no man to be happy. The fact that “Sweetener” won a Grammy while “thank you, next” dominates the top charts shows the influence and quality of Grande’s work.

Grande’s world tour starts March 18, and there is much worry surrounding safety after the suicide bombing that killed 22 people took place during her show in Manchester. Many security precautions are being taken so everyone can have a safe experience.

2019 is going to be Ariana Grande’s year. The successful record breaking album, new Grammy in hands and a loyal fan base she has everything to make this the best year of her career.

Ariana Grande’s new album is entitled “My Everything.”

The Nickelodeon-actress-turned-pop-star Ariana Grande released her debut album “Yours Truly” last year. While this album cultivated nostalgia of 1990s R&B, much like Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige, it still maintained an idea of innocence that kept her tethered to her child-star career. Despite being a debut album, the work seemed distant and failed to familiarize the audience with the girl outside of the Nickelodeon franchise. After the cancellation of her television show, “Sam and Cat,” and the feud between she and her co-star ,Jenette McCurdy, it seemed obvious Grande was ready to start fresh. Her 2014 album, “My Everything,” does just that. Her audience finally gets to see Grande as the pop star she is, while also glancing into her normally private life track by track. Her good girl image is shed, and Grande is in control of her own artistic direction.

 This direction can be seen throughout the album, especially in the artists with whom Grande chooses to collaborate. “Problem,” the first track of the album, is clearly Ariana’s biggest success, featuring another chart topper, Iggy Azalea. This magical duo gets the album off to a great start and shows that, despite Grande’s age, she is a force to be reckoned with who has enough star power to keep up with other ladies of the pop industry. That message is later reasserted by another hit, “Bang Bang,” featuring two other iconic performers, Jesse J and Nicki Minaj.

 Other highlights of her album include “Break Your Heart Right Back” and “Best Mistake.” The former features the talented rapper, Childish Gambino, and incorporates the famous sampling of Dianna Ross’ “I’m Coming Out.” It tells a smooth and gorgeous tale of revenge between two lovers, and brings a sense of girl power with which everyone can sing along. The latter, “Best Mistake” has gotten much attention because it features Big Sean, Ariana Grande’s newest flame. The song explains the couple that everyone knows, the one that should have broken up a long time ago but is still holding on because they truly love one another. Both tales and collaborations show Grande in a much more adult light, and she keeps asserting that image through other songs such as “Love Me Harder” and “Hands on Me.”
