Ariana Grande Shares Emotional Sneak Peek Of Upcoming Album “Eternal Sunshine”
Ariana Grande, the beloved pop superstar at 30, gave fans an emotional glimpse into her creative process as she previewed songs from her highly anticipated album, Eternal Sunshine, in a heartfelt video shared on Instagram.
In the video, seemingly filmed in 2023, Ariana choked up while sharing her latest creations with her label, Republic Records, for the first time. She expressed her desire to involve her team early in the process, explaining, “I wanted to involve my team, everyone at Republic, as soon as possible because things are just pouring out and happening very quickly as they often do. You know how I am and you know how these things go.”
“I’m nervous! I wanted to share with you that this is kind of a concept album because it’s all different heightened pieces of the same story of the same experience,” she added.
Ariana’s emotional journey is rooted in her decade-long commitment to her fans, as she told her fans that she has “been doing this for you guys for 10 years, 12 years.” Despite her vulnerability, she encouraged herself, saying, “F—ing pull it together, bitch.”
She introduced Eternal Sunshine as a “working” album title at the time, revealing that some tracks are deeply vulnerable, while others allow her to play the expected role and have fun. She elaborated on the creative process, sharing that she began working on the album “as soon as the strike started.” During this period, she collaborated with writer/producer Max Martin and spent time alone in the studio, resulting in a remarkably fast-paced creation.
At the time of sharing the video, Ariana had played nine songs for her label team but had plans to include a total of 13 on the album. She expressed her hopes of releasing Eternal Sunshine in the first half of 2024.
The album, set for release on March 8, has already seen success with the single Yes, And? debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month. The Positions singer took to Instagram to express her gratitude for her fans’ unwavering support, sharing behind-the-scenes footage from the music video.
In a heartfelt message, she wrote, “i am so so so……. so emotional,” thanking her fans, whom she lovingly referred to as “the most incredible angels in the world.” Ariana expressed her overwhelming feelings of being seen and supported by her dedicated fanbase and conveyed her heartfelt appreciation.
