Song of the Day: Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman

Ariana Grande is back with the super official first single from her upcoming 3rd album, Dangerous Woman. The track, a sultry throwback to your favorite 90s R&B, sees Grande stepping out from using JUST her powerful voice to build the song, something that's new for her. The slow building, guitar heavy track feels like a mature evolution for the 22-year-old, and the vibe, arrangement and instrumentation feels like of those Rihanna tracks everyone tries to emulate, except Grande sidesteps the emulation and creates her own thing.

I can only hope the Dangerous Woman album follows in the vibe of it's title track when it drops May 20th. Max Martin co-wrote and co-produced this, because obviously. See below for Larry David fucking up the intro to her SNL performance of the track.

Song of the Day: Ellie Goulding - On My Mind [Music Video]

Ellie Goulding is back with "On My Mind", her brand new single as she gears up for the November 6 release of her third album, Delirium. I'm really, really unsure how I feel about this track. I hated it the first time I heard it, but on the second listen the song grew on me with each passing minute. I think my issue is that this song 100% feels like Ellie Goulding should not be the lead artist on this because it feels off brand. It's too produced and too made for radio. But it feels like a hit, and she's trying to really break through the American market, so I get why they had Max Martin produce this track, and half of the album. We'll see if it becomes a hit.
