Album Review

Ariana Grande / Sweetener

2018 Black Music Best No.5

Ariana Grande / Sweetener

Ariana Grande の2年振りの4作目。アイドル性とArtistとしての歌唱力という二律背反的な才能を持つひとだが、当作では大人っぽいArtworkからも明らかなように、ぐっとArtistのほうに寄せてきた。
前者の象徴、Mar Martinは一曲のみで、代わりにPharrellが7曲をProduceし、軽妙なHip-Hop Soul、可憐なPop、流麗なバラードのバランスがうまい具合にとれたアルバムになっている。
不幸な出来事にもめげずに、頑張っている彼女だが、クオリティをさらにあげてきたのは流石。
