The album is so cohesive. It really shows Ariana's been influenced in the pop rnb landscape by the likes of Mariah Carey, Brandy, Janet Jackson, etc. yet is is original and showcases Ariana's original pop trap and rnb style. The album's theme is lyrically excellent yet straight to the point. Positions gives listeners a true authentic Ariana Grande and strips the commercial former Nickelodeon pop star from her discography. Honestly, this should be a contender for best pop vocal album and album of the year for the 2022 Grammys!!!
