Hello, it’s me…Melissa. I’m confessing. I love Ariana Grande’s new album. It really takes me back to when I got Mariah’s first album for Hannukah and then locked myself in my room so I could sing along with it for hours. Over and over and over again. That’s pretty much how I feel about Ariana. I have listened to it over and over again,
and it’s really just plain old enjoyable pop music. Lots of people are getting heated up about the comparison. There are definite obvious similarities: R&B vibe, similar vocal tone, both started in their 20s and have Christmas albums…and just look at these album covers:
All very entertaining. But, Mariah aside, I still like Ariana’s album. Still going to listen to it 4 times a day until I’m sick of it. Not sure if that will happen…ever. Anyways, here’s this week’s playlist:
