02/ariana grande/sweetener
the raindrops fell, and an angel cried. she felt her blood runnin', and swore the sky was fallin'. life dealt her the wrong cards and made everything taste like salt, but then came the light. a light that shined so bright, it could no longer hide. so she kept on breathin' as the light slowly trickled in, bringing back everything the darkness stole. she's in a state of mind she intends to stay in from here on out now, and at peace, and you hear it in the music and feel it in your bones with every word of reassurance and soulful vocal melody. she's lovin' and livin' and turnin' it up with some mighty fine aid from pharrell and max martin. she's better off, stronger, with no tears left to cry. and that, in turn, gave us this, sweetener: one of the year's best pop + R&B albums, bringing the bitter tastes to a halt.
