Ariana Grande Returns On 'eternal sunshine'
Her first LP in nearly four years.
Ariana Grande has made her ethereal return to Earth on eternal sunshine – her first full-length project since positions in 2020.
Arriving as her seventh studio album, the songstress co-produced eternal sunshine in its entirety. The 13-track offering clocks in at 35 minutes and sees just one feature, from Grande’s grandmother whom she calls Nonna.
With most tracks landing at around two-and-a-half minutes long, eternal sunshine finds Grande melding pop, house and R&B influences from all eras of music – infusing each of the project’s distinct tracks with introspection and reflection.
The only single Grande shared from the project – whose name stems from the 2004 sci-fi romance starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind – was “yes, and?” which marked the singer’s anticipated return to the scene.
Today she also shared the music video for “we can’t be friends,” which tells a similar tale as the 2004 movie – in her whimsical, witty aesthetic and with Evan Peters as her love interest.
Nonna closes out the album on “ordinary things” with some sound advice: “Never go to bed without kissing goodnight. It’s the worst thing to do. Don’t ever ever do that,” she begins. “And if you can’t – if you don’t feel comfortable doing that – then you’re in the wrong place. Get out.”
