Ariana Grande’s eighth studio album, ‘Petal’, marks a departure from her previous work with its subdued tone and restrained vocals. The album’s lead single, ‘Hate That I Made You Love Me’, sets the tone for the rest of the record with its muted reception and slinky hook.
Album Highlights
The album features a variety of textures, from the peppy production on ‘Oh Well’ to the somber R&B swagger on ‘Petal’. Other standout tracks include ‘Bad Thing (Bunny Hop)’ and ‘Like I Do’.
Grande has moved away from her signature big-belter style, instead opting for a more understated approach. The result is an album that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging, as Grande described it in the press materials.
