Ariana Grande's Return with Eternal Sunshine

Seamless blend of pop and R&B, Ariana Grande, returns after four long years with her most personal album to date, eternal sunshine, her seventh studio album that derived from the 2004 film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the album explores heartbreak, pain, and exploring new beginnings.

eternal sunshine was produced and written by Grande, Ilya, Max Martin, and Oscar Görres, and many others. In 2022, Grande revealed to media that an album wasn't in the works yet due to her working on the set of Wicked in London. During the writer's strike, she returned back to the United States and began production for an "album" in New York. Grande was spotted interacting with fans in the media and this led to fans thinking that she was recording since the photo showed a building that had a recording studio in it. In late 2023, many radio shows teased the album and by early 2024, Grande released "yes, and?", a house-pop single. Shortly afterwards, we were given the release date for eternal sunshine with the length being around 36 minutes.

eternal sunshine explores Ariana Grande's perspective of her life, post-divorce, heartbreak, and pain is all indulged in this album. With few teases of her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, in the lyrics, mostly portrayed in the beginning of don't wanna break up again. Grande also explores the genre of house music like in yes, and? and throws everyone off, but it doesn't disturb us since it's a break from the R&B and let's us get up and groove. Not saying that the album doesn't make us get up and groove, eternal sunshine contains beautiful guitar riffs like in intro (end of the world), R&B-like beats shown in true story, and pop-hip-hop beats like in eternal sunshine, the title track. To conclude, eternal sunshine may be her shortest work of art but is her most beautiful one to date and everything in this album compensates for it.
