How does someone like Ariana Grande follow one of pop’s greatest, boldest break-up albums? With a horny, campy collection of R&B slow jams, of course.
In all its naughty glory, Positions doesn’t teach us anything new about Grande: she’s always had a penchant for both subtle (“Imagine”) and not-so-subtle (“Side to Side”) sexual innuendos and come-ons, delivered sweetly from that Broadway-born voice of hers. Her theater kid side adds an extra dose of lightness to the project, a now-signature element of all her albums. Combined with the team of trusted allies that made Thank U, Next such a success story — producer TBHits, songwriters Victoria Monét and Tayla Parx — Positions may be the clearest window into the pop superstar’s brain and sense of humor.
