Ariana Grande came out with her new album, “Sweetener,” Aug. 17.

 

Last year, during Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman tour in Manchester Arena, a suicide bomber detonated a bomb killing 23 people and injuring 139. Grande returned home devastated after the attack. In an interview with, singer/songwriter Troye Sivan, Grande said producing “Sweetener” was almost a therapy, it helped her slowly heal after the incident.

 

“It’s about bringing light to a situation, or to someone’s life, or somebody else who brings light to your life, or sweetening the situation,”  Grande also said on The Jimmy Fallon Show.

 

Some of the more popular songs on the album are “No Tears Left To Cry,” and “God is a Woman.” A few artists were also featured on “Sweetener.” Nicki Minaj was featured in “The Light Is Coming.” Pharrell Williams appeared in “Blazed” and also threw in a few vocals throughout the album. Missy Elliott is featured in “Borderline.”

Grandes has received lots of positive feedback from her fans on Twitter.

 

“I love this album so much, it’s definitely your best. All the tracks are so different to your old music and i’m here for it,” Twitter user buterafentys replied to Ariana Grande.

 

“I am in love with every song from “sweetener.” I can’t choose just one song to be my favorite. This is nuts,” emiliowtnr replied.
