Lyrically, Dangerous Woman revolves around love, destructive relationships and rebelliousness. Primarily a pop and R&B record, the album incorporates dance, disco, house, trap, reggae and electropop. It received positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised Grande's vocal prowess, matured lyrical content and her adaptation to different musical styles. The album also appeared in numerous year-end lists of 2016. Dangerous Woman and its singles were nominated for various accolades, including two Grammy Awards. It helped Grande win Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards in 2016, and won International Album of the Year at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 2017.

Dangerous Woman was supported by four singles, including the US Billboard Hot 100 top ten hits "Side to Side" and "Dangerous Woman", and international top ten hit "Into You". The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, becoming Grande's first not to debut at number one in the United States and so far the only one. However, it ultimately became her best-performing album in the country up to that point. Internationally, the album topped record charts in Australia, Brazil, Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom, where it became Grande's first chart-topper. To support the album, Grande embarked on the Dangerous Woman Tour in 2017, which grossed over $71 million upon completion.

Background and conception

edit

On August 25, 2014, Grande released her second studio album My Everything, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and it sold 169,000 copies in its first week.[2] Months after its release, Grande revealed that her third studio album could be titled Moonlight making reference to the title in her Twitter account.[3][4][5] Following the rumors about the album's release date, Grande officially announced the lead single of Moonlight called "Focus" during her September 15, 2015 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[6][7] "Focus" was released digitally on October 30, 2015. The song debuted and peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100,[8][9] selling 113,000 copies in its first week in the United States.[note 1] In interview to U.K station KISS the singer said the song was something of an outlier on the album. "That's why I put 'Focus' first, because it's the only one that sort of sounds like that." She also stated the station: "I'm excited for the next couple of months to not only finish [Moonlight] but to have actual undivided time where I can really just focus on the music."[14]

However, after months of speculation, while discussing the album's direction in interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Grande revealed that she was no longer sure of the name, and that she might re-title the album after another song on the album.[15] "A really long time ago I was convinced that it was going to be called Moonlight because its [sic] one of my favorite songs that we did for the album," the singer explained. "And now, as we're wrapping things up, of course I've been writing and singing, we're at the final stretch... now there's this other song that has thrown me for a whirlwind and I love it so much, it's changed everything."[16] She announced the new title of the album, Dangerous Woman, on February 22, 2016, through her Snapchat and Twitter accounts.[17] The following day, she posted a photo on Instagram with a caption quoting Egyptian feminist writer Nawal El Saadawi's 1975 novel, Woman at Point Zero as follows: "They said, 'You are a savage and dangerous woman.' I am speaking the truth. And the truth is savage and dangerous".[18] As to why the album name was changed, Grande stated that it had to do with portraying herself as a stronger person and to empower fans, saying:

"'Moonlight' is a lovely song, and it's a lovely title. It's really romantic, and it definitely ties together the old music and the new music, but 'Dangerous Woman' is a lot stronger. ... To me, a dangerous woman is someone who's not afraid to take a stand, be herself and to be honest."

The album artwork features Grande wearing a latex bunny mask while portraying a very seductive image in contrast to the covers of her previous albums.[19] In an interview with Chris Martins for Billboard, Grande explained that the cover was inspired by the Super Bunny costume: "The Super Bunny is my superhero, or supervillain—whatever I'm feeling on the day", says Grande. "Whenever I doubt myself or question choices I know in my gut are right—because other people are telling me other things—I'm like, 'What would that bad bitch Super Bunny do?' She helps me call the shots", she said.[20] Grande finished work on the album on January 21, 2016.[21]

Recording and production

edit

For the album's production, Grande worked with several music producers including Max Martin and Savan Kotecha who she worked with as executive producers.[22][23] Grande began recording songs for the album soon after the completion of her previous album, My Everything (2014), and continued throughout the summer and fall of 2015, between stops on her Honeymoon Tour, with her friends Tommy Brown and Victoria Monét.[24] Commenting about the album's direction, Grande stated, "It still sounds like me, but it feels like a more mature, evolved version. There's a nice blend of the R&B vibes and a nice blend of pop vibes. The whole body of work is a little darker and sexier and more mature."[25] Grande selected Martin as a collaborator after his production work on My Everything. She complimented Martin, saying, "He's like a mathematician. He knows music like math. It just makes sense to him."[25] The musician Ilya Salmanzadeh contributed to the album producing and writing songs with Martin, Grande, Kotecha and Alexander Kronlund, they developed several tracks present in the album, including "Into You, "Side to Side", "Greedy", "Everyday", "Bad Decisions" and "Touch It", while the title track was produced by Johan Carlsson and Martin.[26] All songs were recorded at MXM Studios in Los Angeles, California and also at Wolf Cousins Studios located in Stockholm, Sweden and mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach.[26] Grande wrote the song "Moonlight" with Monét, who also sang backing vocals.[27][26]

The album features guest appearances by several hip hop artists such as Lil Wayne, Future and Nicki Minaj (who previously collaborated with Grande in "Bang Bang" alongside Jessie J and "Get on Your Knees", from Minaj's third studio album The Pinkprint in which Grande is a featured artist); About the choice of collaborators, Grande said: "I love working with artists people don't expect me to work with."[20] During the recording sessions for "Everyday" Grande wanted to work with Future, but felt it wasn't the right thing because of the differences between them: "I knew I wanted to work with Future, but I didn't know if we could find the right song to do together because we're so different, but we found a dope vibe and it's very unique and exciting," she said.[28] According to Grande, "When his song comes on, it creates a physical response."[20] Grande included Nicki Minaj on "Side to Side," stating "I love working with her".[29] Singer Macy Gray was invited to record "Leave Me Lonely" after she met with Republic Records's A&R Wendy Goldstein. In an interview with Fuse, the singer explained how the collaboration happened: "They were just in the middle of finishing the album, and they had that "Leave Me Lonely," and at the time, the person who wrote it was just singing on it, just to show whoever was gonna sing it how it would go, and so it was kind of a demo. And Wendy asked me to do it, and said 'Let me check with Ariana,' and then two days later we were in the studio and I went and cut it."[30]

Music and lyrics

edit

The album opens with the doo wop throwback track "Moonlight" which was then-intended title track,[31][32] with Lewis Corner from Digital Spy describing the song as a "50s-inspired sway, which blossoms with its dainty string plucks and romantic violins.[33] Critics noted that the sound present in the song is reminiscent of Grande's debut album Yours Truly.[32] The reviewer from Sputnikmusic described it as "oozing with 1950s vibes and allowing Ariana's gorgeous vocals to do all the heavy lifting." The writer compared the song to the Yours Truly song "Tattooed Heart", commenting that "although it functions as a serviceable opener, it lacks that addictingly sweet chorus to elevate it beyond being just a pretty introduction to the record."[34] "Dangerous Woman", also the lead single (replacing "Focus") and title track (replacing "Moonlight"), is a mid-tempo slow-jam pop and R&B song.[35][36][37] The recording has a 6
8 time signature that "falls neatly at the intersection of bubblegum and rock and roll.[38] The third track "Be Alright" is a song heavily inspired by 1990's deep house,[39][40] also having Chicago house,[41] and dance-pop[42] influences. Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone went further, calling it a "tropical house swagger-jack."[43] Lyrically, "Be Alright" is a carefree song about being optimistic.[39] During the first lines, she sings: "Midnight shadows / When finding love is a battle / But daylight, is so close / So don't you worry 'bout a thing."[44] "Into You" is a dance-pop song,[45][46] with elements of EDM. According to Digital Spy's Lewis Corner, it features "a thudding club beat, lurking synths and sharp clicks."[33] It starts with "a minimal club beat" before "crescendoing into [a] thumping chorus,"[47] where "an uptempo disco backline explodes into a monstrous club-ready hook," as noted by Complex's Jessie Morris.[48] Jessica Goodman of Entertainment Weekly added that the song also has "new-age disco beats."[49] Lyrically, the song features Grande singing of "waiting for her love interest to stop the conversation and finally make a move."[45]

"Side to Side" is a reggae-pop song features guest vocals by Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj.[33] Lyrically, it talks about soreness after sex.[50] In an interview with MTV News reporter Gaby Wilson, Grande explained "that whole song is about riding leading to soreness".[51] "Let Me Love You", a duet with rapper Lil Wayne, is "a slow-paced sultry jam",[52][53] having a laid back R&B melody,[52][54] delicate piano chords, electro-beats,[55] smooth, deep bass,[56] a steady beat,[57] trap-lite sound, hip hop beats,[58] and interspersed vocals.[57] Lyrically, "Let Me Love You" talks about getting over an ex and laying on the chest of someone new.[53] While "lying on some hunk's chest", she's just chilling and "looking for love", mostly "a one-night stand".[33] The disco-pop song "Greedy" received positive comments by music critics, who praised its production comparing to Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" featuring Bruno Mars (2014).[31][43][59][60] An example of the comparison, is the Billboard's critic Katie Atkinson, who described the song as a "throwback trifle, which casts Grande as a lady Bruno Mars."[61] "Leave Me Lonely" features guest appearance from Macy Gray, musically is an R&B track with soul influences.[33][34] Describing the song, Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone wrote, "if you combined these songs with similarly retro material from her debut record ('Honeymoon Avenue', 'Tattooed Heart') you could probably make a good case for Grande as a rock-friendly voice that could be critically adored like Adele or Amy Winehouse."[43] "Everyday" featuring rapper Future, is a woozy electropop and trap song.[62][63] The music is built around a grinding, tinned dance beat[33][64][65] and a thrumming bassline.[66] The song's lyrics are explicit and a paean to sexual satisfaction.[64] Grande illustrates a steamy love affair and lathers on flirtation.[28][64] During his verse, Future raps about lavish vacations and late-night endeavors,[67] describing himself as a bad guy ideally suited to Grande's needs.[32]

The tenth track "Sometimes" was described by Lewis Corner of Digital Spy as an R&B song;[33] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club noted the song features folky acoustic guitar flourishes, distracting electronic production and vocal effects.[40] While "I Don't Care" was described by Rolling Stone editor Christopher Weingarten as a Chicago soul-influenced song,[43] it opens with strings that drop off in the first verse, where Grande sings among clips and R&B beats:[33] "I used to let some people tell me how to live and what to be/But if I can't be me, the fuck's the point?" NME's Larry Bartlet noted the song is "genuinely satisfying to hear her put that sentiment on record so resoundingly".[59] In "Bad Decisions", Grande sings, "I've been doing stupid things, wilder than I've ever been," with Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times noting that "a tune whose message initially appears clear: I sinned, I'm sorry, let's move on. She blames the behavior on a boy, then admits she's enjoying it."[32] Musically, "Bad Decisions" is a hip hop number.[33] "Touch It" is an EDM-inspired song,[67] Grande sings the chorus over a "scuzzy bassline", as noted by Lewis Corner of Digital Spy.[33] Maeve McDermott of USA Today described the song as "dramatic and dark" and noted a sound comparable to works of R&B artist The Weeknd.[67] "Knew Better / Forever Boy" consists of two integrated songs, which last for a duration of 4:59. The first part of the song is the R&B "Knew Better",[33] which pairs Grande's distorted vocals with "pounding" synths.[67] The second part is the deep house "Forever Boy".[33] The last track of the album is the ballad "Thinking Bout You", the song features a pulsating "thudding kick beat."[33] Being the last song on the album, it closes out on a high note and a sudden stop immediately after the chorus.

The Japan and the Target deluxe edition features 2 new songs and the then-intended lead single "Focus". "Step on Up" is a drum filled pop song with live drums and blaring saxophones used in its instrumentation.[69] A mash-up of this song with "Gimme More" by Britney Spears, created in 2018 by YouTube user FrenchFriMashups, started to gain popularity in 2020 on social platform TikTok.[70] "Jason's Song (Gave It Away)" is a jazz song, co-written and produced by musician Jason Robert Brown who composed the track inspired by Broadway productions.[71][72] In the song Grande sings among piano notes: "I'm no blow-up doll, no free-for-all, no slave to your decision,"/"Gotta find a way to break the spell, to get the hell away from those who block my vision." According to Elias Light from Rolling Stone the track uses a backdrop of light, cocktail soul for a declaration of independence.[73] The song is included as an additional track on the Target version and the Japan Special Price edition of Dangerous Woman,[74][75] which would later be released onto streaming services on May 20, 2021 to coincide with its 5 year anniversary.

Dangerous Woman received positive reviews from music critics. According to Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, critics gave Dangerous Woman a score of 76, based on 14 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[124] Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for AllMusic that "track by track, Dangerous Woman has sly, subtle distinctions – a little bit of torch gives way to some heavy hip only to have frothy pop surface again", and that "while some of these cuts work better than others, the range is impressive, as is Grande's measured, assured performance."[66] In his review for Entertainment Weekly, Nolan Feeney commented that while Grande's previous album, My Everything, "suffered for trying to be everything", on Dangerous Woman, "with a streamlined team of hitmakers such as Max Martin, she pulls off pop, R&B, reggae, and house—all without overextending herself or pandering to trends".[125] The A.V. Club's Annie Zaleski agreed, stating that the album "possesses more personality than 'My Everything'," and writes in conclusion that "'Dangerous Woman' is an effortless leap forward on which Grande comes into her own as a vocalist and performer."[40] Lewis Corner from Digital Spy noted that Grande "ultimately pulled together a consistent collection that impressively manages to keep your attention over 15 tracks."[33] Mikael Wood, writing for the Los Angeles Times, found it "impressive how fully she inhabits the emotional environment of each song" on the album.[128]

Larry Bartleet of NME wrote that apart from the "consistent songwriting clout that elevates this album from recent efforts by Grande's teen-star peers, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez" (referring to Confident and Revival, respectively), the "modish message of empowerment feels honest coming from Grande."[59] Michael Cragg from The Observer noted that during her successful previous album she had lost her identity in the process, but in comparison, he noted that the album is a "refinement of her sound", and concluded that "held together by Grande's skyscraping voice, Dangerous Woman throws a lot at the wall and, brilliantly, most of it sticks."[126] Erik Ernst of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel opined that "like much of the disc, it's an unexpected, but remarkable, choice from a confident pop star ready to set her own path to the top."[129] Maeve McDermott of USA Today summarized that Dangerous Woman, "like its title suggests", is "a mature portrait of an artist blessed with one of pop's strongest voices, brimming with potential hits."[67] Quinn Moreland of Pitchfork viewed that "Grande does not need to force any sort of spirit, she is full of it already. She just needs to find the Dangerous Woman within herself and let her break free."[127]

The Plain Dealer's Troy L. Smith wrote that the album "plays it safe and smart", explaining it "functions as My Everything 2.0 – a collection of pitch-perfect hooks and slick production built in the mold of Mariah Carey."[130] For Theon Weber of Spin, "Grande is most complete on record when she's playing a diva."[60] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote that Grande "too often tries to look and sound more mature than she is,"observing that "the songs on the album's latter half are limited by their strict adherence to contemporary pop and R&B trends."[31] In a mixed review, Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone opined that "as an album artist, she's prone to a schizophrenic sound and unfortunate sequencing," adding that "we're still no closer to figuring out who she wants to be." He also said that "her talents are wasted on meaningful-sounding but ultimately trite lyrics. However, her phrasing remains unique and powerful and pyrotechnic."[43]
