Eternal Sunshine is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande. It was released on March 8, 2024, by Republic Records. It is her first new album in over three years, following the release of Positions (2020). Written and produced by Grande, Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Oscar Görres amongst others, Eternal Sunshine is a pop and R&B record with dance, synth-pop and house influences, characterized by mid-tempo synthesizers, subtle guitar and string elements.

Grande derived the album's title from the 2004 American film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. She conceived the album as a record of both vulnerability and entertainment, inspired by her personal life experiences. Upon release, the album received acclaim from critics for its restrained vocals and music, and the emotional vulnerability of the subject matter, while some critiqued the songwriting as unrefined. Eternal Sunshine and its singles were nominated for three Grammy Awards, including for Best Pop Vocal Album.

In the United States, the album opened at number one on the Billboard 200, marking her sixth number-one on the chart, while charting all of its tracks on the Billboard Hot 100. Three singles were released from the album; the first two, "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)", debuted atop the Hot 100, making Grande the woman with the most number-one debuts and the first woman with two albums to produce multiple number-one debuts in the US. Eternal Sunshine topped the record charts in thirteen other countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Grande promoted and discussed the album on programs hosted by Zach Sang, Zane Lowe, Penn Badgley, and Sean Evans, and was the musical guest of Saturday Night Live on March 9, 2024. She performed music from the album at the 2024 Met Gala and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The standard edition of Eternal Sunshine does not contain guest musical acts, but features spoken words from Grande's maternal grandmother Marjorie Grande on "Ordinary Things" and astrologer Diana Garland on "Saturn Returns Interlude". Two extended editions of the album, including remixes and versions of several tracks from the standard album, were released on March 10 and October 1, 2024. The additional tracks feature Australian singer Troye Sivan and American singers Mariah Carey, Brandy, and Monica.

Background

[edit]
Max Martin produced eleven of the thirteen tracks on Eternal Sunshine.

On May 12, 2022, 19 months after the release of her sixth studio album, Positions (2020), Ariana Grande clarified that she would not be recording another album until she is done filming Wicked (2024), the film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name, in which she portrays the character Glinda.[3] In October 2023, she first jokingly hinted at a forthcoming album by posting "ag7: goat mother" as an Instagram caption.[4] A set of pictures included a photo of her with Swedish producer and long-time collaborator Max Martin at Jungle City Studios in New York City.[5]

On December 7 and December 17, 2023, Grande shared a series of pictures and video clips working in recording studios and her editing audio files.[6] As opposed to previous eras, she specifically stated that there would be no song snippets for the upcoming record.[7] On December 27, 2023, the singer confirmed a 2024 album release via her social media.[8] She posted a carousel of videos on her Instagram that show her crying in a recording studio and her mother Joan dancing to a new song of hers, amongst others.[9] She captioned the post "See you next year" and tagged several accounts, including Swedish musician Ilya Salmanzadeh, music video director Christian Breslauer, and Republic Records.[10][11] She referred to the picture of her crying and another one which depicts her dancing as the "two moods of the album".[11] Packages with R.E.M. Beauty's On Your Collar lipstick in the shade "Attention" including a defocused close-up shot of Grande's red lips and the caption of an Instagram post she would make a few days after delivery, were sent to fans.[12][10] On January 17, 2024, Grande announced the album, its title Eternal Sunshine, and release date via her social media.[13]

Conception

[edit]

Grande described Eternal Sunshine as "kind of a concept album" comprising "different heightened pieces of the same story, of the same experience".[14] She explained that the record spans from "really vulnerable" songs to playful tracks which see her emulating "what people kind of expect me to be sometimes and having fun with it".[14] Wendy Goldstein, co-president of Republic Records, described the record as an "elevated version" of Grande's previous albums, calling it an embodiment of "Sweetener meets [...] Thank U, Next".[15][16]

Recording and production

[edit]

In a video shared to her social media of her previewing some songs of the album to Republic Records personnel, Grande revealed that after the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike forced the filming of Wicked to be paused temporarily, she "came [to the studio]" and begun work on the record that September.[1] She further revealed that she worked with Max Martin for a few weeks, and handled production on her own as well.[1] "Proper" vocal recordings and orchestrations were arranged in November.[2] Work on the album concluded in late December 2023.[8] Referring to the period of making Eternal Sunshine, Grande stated that "things [were] kind of just pouring out and happening very quickly".[14]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

Eternal Sunshine is a pop and R&B album[17] that features elements of dance music, especially synth-pop and house music.[18][19] Helen Brown of The Independent described it as a "slow-fizz pop" album, consisting of mid-tempo synths, strings and muted guitar.[20] Jem Aswad of Variety felt that Martin and Salmanzadeh imbued the album with a "very Swedish vibe and structure to the tracks" inspired by classic pop, a style atypical of Anglo-American musicians.[21] Lyrically, the album is a combination of both "ultra-confident and entirely self-deprecating" themes, inspired by Grande's personal relationships.[22] Billboard described it as an introspective record—one in which Grande reflects on herself as she enters her thirties.[19]

Songs

[edit]

Eternal Sunshine begins with the opening track, "Intro (End of the World)", which primarily includes strings and a morose guitar.[19] The song begins with Grande posing the question, "How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship?", describing her anxieties with her partner, and the possibility of its end.[23] The second song, "Bye", was described by Grande as the hardest song on the album for her to write, saying "It was hard for the reason that I desperately didn't want it to sound like a 'fuck you.' I wanted it to sound like, 'I need to leave, so bye'".[24] Grande wanted the song to have a sense of self-awareness and accountability, rather than being completely dismissive.[25] It is an uptempo dance-pop number with influences of disco and Philadelphia soul.[26][27] The third track, "Don't Wanna Break Up Again", is a gloomy, '90s influenced pop and R&B song that discusses conflicting feelings Grande has towards the end of her relationship with her partner.[19] While referring to her relationship as a "situationship" that she's aware needs to end, the song shows a reluctancy to go through with ending the marriage and describes the steps she went through to try to save it, i.e. therapy.[20] Rolling Stone described the first three tracks of the album as "seventies pop".[28]

The album's interlude, "Saturn Returns", prominently samples a YouTube video of astrologer Diana Garland, as she discusses the importance of the age of 29 in a person's life. She urges the listener to "wake up" and "sort out who you really are" before the album's fifth and title track. The interlude fades directly into "Eternal Sunshine", during which Ariana seems to come to terms with the faults of her partner and their relationship. In the track, she hints that her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez may have cheated during their relationship and displays an uncertainty towards her future over an "R&B-pop" beat.[28][29] "Supernatural", the sixth track on the album, has a low-tempo beat. The lyrics are about how Grande is in love with someone and is inseparable. Grande lets this love take over her entire state of mind. The lyrics also show that Grande is healing from heartbreak and is ready to love again.[30] Billboard ranked "Supernatural" number 8 out of Eternal Sunshine, and compared it to "Breathin'" from Sweetener, as both songs are "undeniable home runs and surefire pure-pop smashes."[19]

The seventh track, "True Story", and eighth track, "The Boy Is Mine", were intentionally placed together in the track list and are both described as R&B songs echoing music from the '90s and 2000s.[31][32][33] The former is described by Grande as "an untrue story based on all untrue events" and sees her address the press who create rumors and "pray for her demise" for fun. It is a mid-tempo R&B track with a "slinky bounce" and elements of G-funk in its production.[34][35] The latter song is a "bass-heavy" R&B song with lyrics about being infatuated with a man Grande believes she is destined to be with. It was inspired by the positive reactions received from the leaked track, "Fantasize", by her fans. The song is an "elevated version of the leak" and also a "reimagining" of the 1998 song of the same name.[36][37] The ninth track and lead single of the album, "Yes, And?" is an uptempo and "effervescent" pop-house song with elements of ballroom in its production.[38] Following "Yes, And?" is the tenth track, "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)", which served as the album's second single. The synth-wave influenced synth-pop song has been described as having a double meaning, with Grande speaking about a past lover, as well as her relationship with the press.[39] "I Wish I Hated You" is a vulnerable and honest ballad that sees Grande confessing that she wishes her partner was worse to her in order for her to find closure and move on. The eleventh track features a minimalistic electro-pop production.[19] The penultimate track "Imperfect For You" describes two people who are in love, despite their imperfections. The last track, "Ordinary Things" is about how when one is in love nothing feels ordinary. The track features Grande's grandmother, Marjorie Grande, who appears in the spoken-word outro.[19]

Release and promotion

[edit]
Mariah Carey and Troye Sivan (top, L–R) appear on the remixes of "Yes, And?" and "Supernatural" which appear on the "Slightly Deluxe" album, with Brandy and Monica (bottom, L–R) additionally appearing on the remix of "The Boy Is Mine", which is part of the "Slightly Deluxe and Also Live" album.

Republic Records released Eternal Sunshine on March 8, 2024.[40] It was issued via streaming, download, five CD variants, and six vinyl LP variants.[41] Pre-orders began on January 17, the day the album was announced.[42] On March 10, a digital extended edition of the album, titled Slightly Deluxe, was surprise-released via Grande's webstore; it features four bonus tracks including a remix of "Supernatural" with Troye Sivan, and the pre-released Mariah Carey remix of "Yes, And?".[43][44] The Slightly Deluxe edition was released to streaming services the day after.[45] On October 1, 2024, Grande surprise-released another digital extended edition of the album, labelled Slightly Deluxe and Also Live. It comprises the standard thirteen tracks, the Slightly Deluxe remixes, the pre-released Brandy and Monica remix of "The Boy Is Mine", and live versions of seven songs.[46]

In July 2024, Grande revealed that a deluxe version of the album was in development, but not set for release "any time super soon" due to her promotional commitments for Wicked.[47]

Marketing

[edit]

The tracklist of the album was not unveiled entirely at once. Grande revealed song titles and their track order on separate days, starting on January 27, 2024, with tracks 1, 5, and "Yes, And?" as track 9.[48] Tracks 2, 6, and 10 were revealed on February 7,[49] followed by tracks 3, 7, and 11 on February 17,[50] and tracks 4, 8, 12, and 13 on February 27.[51] Additionally, Grande revealed some lyrics from the album via her social media on February 27.[52] A teaser for the album, featuring the singer at a photo shoot for one of the cover artworks, was released on March 6, 2024.[53]

Grande appeared on the Zach Sang Show on Amazon Music for a double-episode interview to discuss the album.[54] The first episode was released on February 27, 2024, and was centered around the creative process.[55] The second episode was released on March 8, wherein she details each song.[56] Grande was then interviewed about the album by Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, which was broadcast on March 7.[57] She appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 6, 2024, to discuss Wicked (2024) and the third single "The Boy Is Mine";[58] it marked her first late-night TV interview since 2021 and eleventh appearance on the show.[59] Grande was the guest for a two-part episode of Penn Badgley's podcast Podcrushed; the first part was released on June 12,[60][61] followed by the second on June 17.[62] She appeared on an episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast on July 9,[63] and the season 24 finale of web talk show Hot Ones, hosted by Sean Evans, on August 8, 2024.[64]

Title and artwork

[edit]

The title of the album is a reference to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004).[65] It stars Jim Carrey, who Grande has expressed she's a fan of and whose show, Kidding, she had guest-starred on.[66] The title Eternal Sunshine was teased via two Easter eggs. The first was in the opening scene of the music video of the lead single, "Yes, And?". It depicts a red card that has the acronym "AG7" on the frontside, with the geographical coordinates 41.0359° N, 71.9545° W mentioned below it—which locate Montauk, New York, a key location of the film.[67] The second was when Grande shared a few lines of Alexander Pope's poem Eloisa to Abelard on her Instagram, including: "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!".[68]

Seven cover variants of Eternal Sunshine were issued: a standard vinyl cover, four DTC variations via Grande's website, a retail-exclusive CD cover (which also serves as the "Yes, And? single artwork), and a Target-exclusive in the United States.[41][69][70] The digital cover depicts the back of Grande's head, with her dressed in a white outfit and her blonde hair styled in a ponytail, resting on the shoulder of a similarly dressed woman that is "a clone of herself".[71] Three covers, and the "Yes, And?" cover, were unveiled with the album's announcement.[72] The remaining three alternate covers were revealed throughout January and February.[73][74][50] Through the promotional material of the album, Grande sports a Maison Margiela outfit—a white bodysuit and a pair of red tulle gloves.[53] She stated that the different artworks "capture the emotional ups and downs of the album".[74]

Singles

[edit]

"Yes, And?", the lead single of Eternal Sunshine, was released on January 12, 2024, via streaming services.[75] It was also issued in 7-inch, CD single and cassette formats.[76] The song's accompanying music video was released on the same day via Grande's Vevo channel on YouTube.[77] The title of the song was teased by Grande days before release when she was photographed wearing a sweatshirt with the title printed on the front.[78] "Yes, And?" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, marking Grande's eighth number-one single in the US.[79] It also topped the Global 200, Global Excl. US,[80] and Canadian Hot 100;[81] and reached the top five in numerous countries including Australia,[82] Ireland,[83] New Zealand,[84] and the United Kingdom.[85] Multiple versions and mixes of the song were released,[86][87] including a remix featuring Mariah Carey in February.[88] It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[89]

On February 5, Grande announced via her social media that no more pre-release singles would follow "Yes, And?". Explaining her reason, Grande said that she wanted fans to "experience [Eternal Sunshine] in full this time", but did confirm that singles will be released after the album.[90]

"We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" followed as the second single on March 8, 2024.[91] The song was also released via CD,[92] cassette,[93] and 7-inch vinyl.[94] Its music video—which co-starred actor Evan Peters—was described by Grande as her "own short version of [Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]".[95] The song debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, marking Grande's ninth chart-topper and seventh number-one debut. With this, Grande surpassed Taylor Swift as the woman with the most number-one debuts on the chart.[96] "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" also topped the Global 200,[97] and the charts in six other countries, including New Zealand,[98] Malaysia,[99] and United Arab Emirates.[100] The song became Grande's tenth number-one on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart,[101] where it spent two weeks at the summit.[102] As of September 2024, it is certified double platinum by the RIAA.[103]

The eighth track on Eternal Sunshine, titled "The Boy Is Mine", went viral on TikTok due to a dance trend associated with the song, and received multiple celebrity cosigns online.[104][105] On May 7, Grande confirmed fans' theories via her Instagram that it would be released as the next single.[106] The music video for the song—co-starring actor Penn Badgley and featuring cameos from Brandy and Monica—was released on June 7,[107] four days before it impacted US contemporary hit radio as the album's third single.[108] Variety called the music video "theatrical".[109] A remix of the track featuring Brandy and Monica—whose 1998 duet inspired Grande's song—was released on June 21, 2024.[110] Physical editions of the solo and remix versions were released in late July.[111] "The Boy Is Mine" peaked within the top 15 on the Global 200 and Canadian Hot 100, and the top 20 in the US.[112][113][114] It was certified platinum in the US, by the RIAA, in September 2024.[103]

Christian Breslauer directed the visuals for all of all the three singles.[115][116][117] In a Vanity Fair interview in September 2024, Grande revealed that she had filmed another Breslauer-directed music video at a "trippy" set: "it all fits within the "short film" [Grande] plans to shoot for Eternal Sunshine."[118]

Performances

[edit]

Grande appeared as the musical guest on the March 9, 2024, episode of Saturday Night Live. It marked her third appearance on the show and her first since 2016.[119] She performed "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" and "Imperfect for You".[120] Grande attended and was the surprise performer at the 2024 Met Gala in New York City on May 6, 2024. She performed the album's first three singles alongside "Into You", "7 Rings", Sleeping Beauty (1959)'s "Once Upon A Dream", and a cover duet of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey's 1998 single, "When You Believe", with Cynthia Erivo.[121] Grande served as the musical guest for the June 6, 2024, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she performed "The Boy Is Mine".[58] Performances of the seven songs that had live renditions on the Slightly Deluxe and Also Live version of the album, with Grande backed by a ten-piece band, were released to her Vevo channel via YouTube from October 1 to 7.[46][122]

On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out of 100 to ratings from professional publications, Eternal Sunshine received a weighted mean score of 84, based on 19 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[124] In a rave review, Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone commended Eternal Sunshine for having "some of the most honest and inventive music of her career" and dubbed the album as an "instant classic".[18] Various other critics, such as NME's Nick Levine,[17] AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung,[125] Clash's Emma Harrison,[126] The Guardian's Laura Snapes,[128] and The New York Times' Lindsay Zoladz, dubbed it one of Grande's stronger, most sophisticated albums yet, highlighting the perceived maturity of its subject matter.[132]

The album's musical tonality was often complimented. Harry Tafoya of Pitchfork,[130] Moses Jeanfrancois of Beats Per Minute,[133] Jem Aswad of Variety,[21] and Mary Siroky of Consequence emphasized Grande's "raw", subtle and restrained vocals, which they thought focused on texture instead of showcasing her vocal range.[22] Zoladz regarded Eternal Sunshine one of Grande's "texturally consistent" releases.[132] In contrast, Helen Brown of The Independent found this tone rather conversational, lacking "strong melodic snags".[20]

A number of critics offered criticism on the album's songwriting. Poppie Platt of The Daily Telegraph and David Cobbald of The Line of Best Fit regarded the album a "slickly" produced pop record, albeit with some underwhelming tracks and simple lyrics.[127][129] According to Tafoya, Grande often settles for "stock phrases or scrambles for syllables",[130] while Siroky observed a lack of conceptual focus in the lyrics,[22] and Green claimed some tracks to be insubstantial.[134] In an unfavorable review, Robert Sona of Sputnikmusic blamed the songwriting for making the album an "unambitious" output.[135]

Several reviews praised Martin's production, emphasizing his stylistic influence on Eternal Sunshine.[20][18][128][127] Sona credited Grande's "concise" team of producers—Martin, Salmanzadeh and Davidior—for helping the album feel like "a singular and shapely work of art" unlike Positions.[135] Jeanfrancois considered the sound a return to 1990s' R&B, "something that has been avidly requested" by fans and critics.[133] However, Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani agreed with Platt in critiquing the album for not venturing outside Grande's familiar music styles.[131][127]

Eternal Sunshine's perceived status as a "divorce album" sparked a critical debate. Snapes described the album as a perceptive, "post-divorce" record.[128] Tafoya opined Eternal Sunshine is not "as cohesive of a divorce record" as Adele's 30 (2021),[130] whereas Jeanfrancois said it is "by no means a divorce album".[133]

Commercial performance

[edit]

On its release day, Eternal Sunshine received 58.1 million streams on Spotify globally, setting the record for the most-streamed album in a single day in 2024, at the time.[136][137] All 12 chart-eligible tracks from the album simultaneously appeared on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.[112][138][139] On the former, ten tracks appeared within the top-25 region,[140] led by "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)," which debuted at number-one on both charts, the album's second chart-topper after "Yes, And?".[97]

This made her the fourth artist and second woman ever to top the Artist 100, Hot 100, Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songwriters, and Hot 100 Producers charts simultaneously.[159] She remained at number-one on the Hot 100 Songwriters chart for two consecutive weeks.[160]

Accolades

Eternal Sunshine and its second single "We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)" were expected by several publications and critics to receive nominations in the Big Four categories at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.[181] However, both releases received no nominations in the Big Four categories, with the album being nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and singles "The Boy Is Mine" (remix) and "Yes, And?" scoring one nod each, for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Dance Pop Recording.[182] Grande was named among the biggest snubs of the ceremony by several publications.[183]

Impact

Whether she's layering harmonies over a melody line or vocal arranging an entire bridge on the fly, the superstar's mastery over her instrument only continues to grow with each new album.

The Recording Academy praising Ariana Grande's vocal production[188]

Eternal Sunshine was the subject of major media attention prior to and after its release. The album's visual aesthetic was recreated by numerous brands.[189] Vanity Fair's Savannah Walsh stated that in the hours after the album's release, viewership of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind had doubled on Vudu, according to Fandango.[190]

Following the album's release, Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" was up 18% in US streams due to Eternal Sunshine's song of the same name, according to Billboard.[191] Several artists such as Christina Aguilera,[192] Kelly Clarkson,[193] Cynthia Erivo,[194] Olivia Rodrigo,[195] Megan Thee Stallion,[196] Billie Eilish,[197] Tate McRae,[198] Chappell Roan,[199] Selena Gomez, Normani, and JT praised the album and expressed excitement for its release.[200]

Forbes discussed Grande's strong chart performance and quick accumulation of chart-toppers on the US Billboard Hot 100, following Eternal Sunshine's singles "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" debuting atop the chart, setting "Ariana Grande seems to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 any time she has a new single to share with the masses. The American public loves her and the music she makes; [Grande] has scored all nine of her Hot 100 leaders in just over half a decade. That's an incredibly short span of time to earn that many champions, considering there are many, many other artists who have yet to come even close to that sum, even though they've been attempting to do so for longer than Grande has".[201]

In a review of Eternal Sunshine, York Vision's Matthew Ennis also stated the "Music Icon Status" that Grande possesses in music industry and emphasized how "Eternal Sunshine is just another example of Grande's visionary skills as an artist who deserves her legacy as one of the most defining musical talents of our time".[202]
