Ariana Grande has unleashed ‘Eternal Sunshine’ – her seventh album.
Led by ‘Yes, And? the album sees Grande explore new sounds as well as difficult topics like grief and loss.
That Grape Juice has been spinning the LP since its release. Join us below to find out which five tracks are essential on ‘Eternal Sunshine.’
5. The Boy Is Mine
Ariana Grande harkens back to Brandy and Monica’s iconic duet with a fresh take.
**********
4. Eternal Sunshine
The title track for the album sees immense personal and artistic growth for Grande as she delivers her signature blend of pop and R&B.
**********
3. Supernatural
The most pop song on the album is also one of the best with its ‘Breathin” like production and is destined to rule radio if released as a single.
**********
2. I Wish I Hated You
There are few songs in Grande’s discography as emotional as ‘I Wish I Hated You.’ With muted keys, Grande takes the high road despite all of the hurt she endured, showing immense growth for the singer.
**********
1. We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)
With one listen, it is easy to see why this will be the album’s ‘7 Rings’ in terms of commercial success. Complete with pulsating synths and heart-wrenching lyrics, Grande delivers a heartbreak banger that is akin to Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own.’ In other words, a classic.

Do you agree with our picks?
I loved the whole album she really showed growth. This is how you make your sound mature without being gimmicky, hopefully Taylor’s new album will sound similar.
My top 5 is
5. Intro (end of the world)
4. Don’t wanna break up again
3. Imperfect for you
2. The boy is mine
1. We can’t be friends
Growth where? Only thing changed is her hair color. She’s still got the body of a 10 year old boy in a pony tail.
I love all of those aswell but you forgot to add don’t break wanna break up again!!! Honestly I think Ariana has shown genuine growth, she isn’t trying to chase big hits anymore because she just simply doesn’t need to. Her songwriting has really improved vocals ablibs and all. It sounds like nothing out right now in a good way, def felt 90’s vibes from this project.
Lovely to hear, gotta check it out
I’m over the “all lower case letters” “im still 12 years old” “upside down texts and bubbles” “im different but innocent but really not” gimmick. She needs to grow up and make better music. This album has ZERO direction 💀 and can easily be put on one of her previous bodies of work
It’s hard when you’re built like an ironing board and can’t look over 12 years old
I like boy is mine. Don’t get any vibes from it that remind me of the original though.
Wonder why all these lame ass people are crazy about we can’t be friends song. This is literally a Carly Rae Jepsen song. Nothing groundbreaking. Carly does it better 💅🏻
I love love loooooooove this album!!!!!! My top 5 in order are 1) Eternal Sunshine 2) The Boy Is Mine 3) Supernatural 4) True Story 5) Don’t Wanna Break Up Again or Imperfect for You I’m still stuck but I love every song though!!!!
