阿丽亚娜·格兰德发布了第八张录音室专辑《Petal》[1]。这张专辑是她在《Wicked》演出结束和2024年《Eternal Sunshine》发布后推出的首张完整作品[1]。专辑共包含12首歌曲，采用柔和的人声演绎和创新的制作手法，展现了这位流行歌手前所未有的克制风格，远离了她标志性的高亢演唱[1]。
专辑整体呈现出R&B韵味和大气制作特色[1]。虽然作品缺乏格兰德标志性的华彩段落，但在最后三分之一部分展现了更强动感[1]。美联社评论给予该专辑五星制中的三星评分[1]。
专辑由制作人伊利亚·萨尔曼扎德和马克斯·马丁制作，其中萨尔曼扎德自2018年《Sweetener》起就与格兰德合作[1]。主打单曲《Hate That I Made You Love Me》成为格兰德在Billboard Hot 100榜单上的第10首冠军单曲[1]。评论推荐了《Bad Thing (Bunny Hop)》，但不推荐《Freak》[1]。
Ariana Grande has released her eighth studio album, "Petal," marking her first full-length project following her 2024 album "Eternal Sunshine" and the conclusion of her "Wicked" theatrical run.[1] The album comprises 12 tracks and represents a notable departure from Grande's signature vocal style, emphasizing softer vocal delivery and inventive production techniques over her characteristic whistle tones.[1]
The lead single "Hate That I Made You Love Me" has become Grande's tenth number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1] Produced by Ilya Salmanzadeh and Max Martin, the album carries an R&B-influenced aesthetic with expansive sonic arrangements.[1] Salmanzadeh, who has collaborated with Grande since her 2018 album "Sweetener," brings continuity to her production approach.[1] While the project lacks Grande's signature vocal flourishes throughout much of its runtime, the final third of the album demonstrates increased dynamic energy.[1]
According to AP News, the album received a three-star rating out of five.[1] "Bad Thing (Bunny Hop)" was highlighted as a standout track, while "Freak" was marked as a lesser selection.[1]
