Extremely disappointed in Ariana if I'm going to have to be honest. I was expecting a lot as she was talking about it like it was aExtremely disappointed in Ariana if I'm going to have to be honest. I was expecting a lot as she was talking about it like it was a masterpiece, I genuinely thought that Sweetener might even be able to top Dangerous Woman. But it's her worst album. In all the years that I've followed her, she never was able to disappoint me this much. Vocally, there isn't anything special except for some ad libs. The songs lack powerful and/or catchy choruses, and when they're catchy ("The Light Is Coming"), they're just annoying and extremely repetitive. The album has a way too similar production towards each other. Pharrell is now known to me as the worst pop producer out there. Yes, it might not be basic generic pop, but the songs are still generic. The production is boring and lacks too much to keep you interested making it sound like a collection of fillers.
No Tears Left To Cry, God Is A Woman and Breathin are great songs but the others just fail to satisfy or keep me interested.… Expand
