04/ARIANA GRANDE/THANK U, NEXT
So the last album just dropped in August 2018, and it was monumental. Huge singles with the tight deep cuts and everything. And she could have stewed with that for a year or two, gone on a tour and disappeared for a while. But why do that when you are sitting on the tracks that are housed within this album right here? So she didn't, and the following February we were given this, a tight 12 song collection to match the phenomenon that is the title track. On thank u, next, Ariana stunts like rappers and glides effortlessly between pop and breezy, often trap infused R&B tracks, going hard after providing us with a little sweetener late last year. She kept creating and kept it 100, and wound up with one of the year's smoothest (and best) pop records.
