Ariana Grande just unleashed her musical prowess once more with her seventh studio album, “Eternal Sunshine”! That’s right, the pop sensation and certified Wicked star has blessed our eardrums with her latest masterpiece after a four-year hiatus.
Now, you might be wondering what inspired this musical resurrection. Well, apparently, Ariana decided to dive headfirst into the studio during the SAG-AFTRA strike, because why not? It’s like she thought, “Hey, let’s see what happens when I mix a pinch of talent with a dash of spontaneity!” And voilà, we get 13 fresh tracks, including the previously dropped bop “yes, and”, all neatly packaged into a 35-minute and 32-second musical rollercoaster.
But hold your horses, because Ariana’s got a bone to pick with herself. She recently issued a heartfelt apology for the album’s brevity. “I’m sorry it’s so short,” she quipped. Ah, Ari, always the perfectionist.
In a candid chat on the Zach Sang Show, Ariana spilled the tea on how this album came to be. Apparently, she wasn’t planning to drop any tunes until after her stint in Wicked. But fate had other plans. “I wasn’t sure how it would feel, but as soon as the strike began, I came to New York and just for fun, just to see how it would feel… and it all just kind of started pouring out,” she revealed. Well, ain’t that a serendipitous turn of events?
And what’s this about the album being “incredibly human”? Is Ariana Grande secretly an alien? Nah, she’s just referring to the fact that her latest creation is a concept album inspired by the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. Talk about taking cinematic inspiration to a whole new level!
