Snippet: Ariana Grande – ‘Baby I’ (New Single)

Published: Tuesday 16th Jul 2013 by Sam

Yesterday saw Ariana Grande whip her ever-growing army of fans into a frenzy with the announcement of new single ‘Baby I’.

Set to premiere on July 22nd, it appears the song’s roll-out will be preceded by daily reveal – today’s being a brief snippet of the track.

With predecessor ‘The Way’ still in heavy rotation, can its follow-up dispel doubt about her longevity? The first taste of an answer awaits after the jump…

Great to see Team Grande smartly staying in the Pop-Urban lane. Her diva-tinged voice is too next level to target generic Pop, while her image is entirely “Pop”. It seems the folks behind her movement have found a space in the middle that “works”. Being the fair and unbiased outlet we are, though, we’ll hold our thoughts until the song in its entirety.

Is sounding like a “Hit” or “Miss” for you, though?

Your thoughts?

        This b**** aint coming for s***. Mariah Carey I old enough to have pushed her out her p**** 2 decades ago lol. Bout time this lil girl was born Mariah Carey already sold 40 million records & had 6 number hits 2 her name. Arianas recent so called smash hit aint even go to the top 5 let alone number 1 spot. So sit down

    • (ROSIE’S EBT CARD) July 16, 2013

      MORE IMPORTANTLY, Where’s the lana post? why aren’t you questioning why sam didn’t congratulate A*** Del Taco’s “American Break Through’? completely disregarding how irrelevant she is, i think a tiny bit of flash light shine would inch “summertime Sadness” into the top ten… or it could just highlight how much a flop she is in america…

  4. White girl mob 2.0 July 16, 2013

  7. NiggaPLZ July 16, 2013

    she sounds a lot like CIARA on this track

  8. Rosie (57k) July 16, 2013

    Seriously where’s the Cedric post? Can’t Sam make it an excuse to brag about The Carters again? It will be the stan war of the year.

    • The flop of R&b July 16, 2013

      Guess grape juice probably taking they time to make the most they guna make so many excuses for Ciara.

      • Rosie (57k) July 16, 2013

        LMAO. They would. Probably gonna come up with something like “Not bad at all considering who CiCi was up against and the state of R&B in general.”

  9. The Boy Toy July 16, 2013

    Idk, the other snippet sounded much hotter. But slay anyway Ari! Can’t wait to hear it in full!

  10. Jayla July 16, 2013

    You miserable gays really need a life. Stalking a website awaiting for a post about a singer’s sales so you can be negative and throw “shade”? Get a damn life. If an artist sells 10k that’s still 10k more than you EVER will. Go get a career

  11. FAF July 16, 2013

    Jayla u see Rosie got 3 usernames u can tell that b**** get dragged on the regular Lana single been bubbling under for MONTHS 😆 57k added to over 6mil albums in the Us Lana del Gay can never now keep waiting on the Princess 😆

  12. Baby I July 16, 2013

    I can’t wait to buy it! #6DaysUntilBabyI

  13. Navy Nick July 16, 2013

    I LOVE HER VOICE!!!

  14. stephy the lambily July 16, 2013

    This song sounds great from the small snippet. I hope she does great. Also, her first few singing bars I herd from this snippet sounds like herself instead of sounding like Mimi AKA Her Mother

  15. JER July 16, 2013

    Another basic b****. Take a number and get in line

    • Grande The Way July 16, 2013

      Basic but has you checking for her on every post? Pressed little lamb.

  16. Common Sense July 16, 2013

    F****** pop/urban b*******. Basic basic basic. Mariah already played this genre to death 10 years ago. These lesser girls need to step up their game.

    • Grande The Way July 16, 2013

      Pop/Urban is never going away. Mariah had her reign but now it’s time for her to pass the torch. Learn to deal with it.

  17. BITCHPLEASEEEEE July 16, 2013

    THIS BISH BETTER COME UP WITH HER OWN STYLE AND ORIGINALITY CUZ I JUST DON’T GET IT WITH HER………..SMFH

  18. Grande The Way July 16, 2013

    It sounds decent but I’ll wait for the final version to judge. I think the R&B influenced Pop sound works best for her. I appalled her for doing that sound instead of the dance pop or pop-rock sound that every other t*** artist has done. Im sure her ever growing fan base will take this song to #1 just like The Way

  19. Love on top July 17, 2013

    Yeah ciara made a good comeback while your mother is blowing fat guys behind walmart

  20. Love on top July 17, 2013
