Sweetener (2018) — Ariana Grande

Posted 7/25/25

Pop perfection.

This is one of my favorite albums ever made and I think it may be the best pop album made in the 2010's. Pharrell's production is phenomenal and Ariana just has a grasp on her sound like no other modern mainstream artist.

Every second of Sweetener is tight, with each song effortlessly developing and adding to the auditory world she created. UGH... Makes me a bit feral.
