Review
Ariana Grande's "My Everything," released in August 2014, really shook up the pop playground. Departing from the cotton candy vibe of her debut "Yours Truly," Grande decided to go for a more mature sonic palette this time around. She throws everything but the kitchen sink into this mix—pop, R&B, EDM, you name it. Plus, she's brought along a caravan of stars for the ride, including Iggy Azalea and The Weeknd. With tracks crafted for dance floors and dramatic solo listening sessions under the covers, "My Everything" is not just an album—it's a buffet of modern pop sounds.
Commercially, it's like Grande hit every jackpot in Vegas—the album crashed into the charts with the force of a glitter cannon, debuting at numero uno on the US Billboard 200. Let's not even get started on the singles; "Problem" was more viral than that sneezing panda video. Along with "Break Free" and "Bang Bang," these tracks didn't just climb the charts; they practically pole-vaulted over them. Beneath all this frothy chart success, the title track "My Everything" hits a heartfelt note, demonstrating that Grande isn't all about powerhouse pop anthems but can slow it down with the best of them. If you doubted Grande's clout in the pop sphere before, this album might just be her glittering, pop-scented mic drop. - Chloe
