![]() ![]() ![]() "No Tears" is intoxicating, energizing, and bubbly, like a gulp of spiked soda on a hot summer day. Releasing it as "Sweetener's" lead single was a choice - but only in the best possible way. With its sudden tempo shift and UK garage-inspired beat, the song is weird, especially compared to Grande's previous work. "No Tears Left to Cry" is the kind of song that makes you remember exactly where you were and who you were with when you heard it for the first time. "No Tears Left to Cry" was released as the lead single from "Sweetener" on April 20, 2018. If you like this, listen to: "Safety Net," "West Side" Song highlight: "Like this pussy designed for ya" is a brilliantly unhinged phrase. "Nasty" speaks to her power as a vocalist - as well as her confidence to step into any musical terrain, slip on any set of lyrics, and own the room. That she can sing these horny-teenager lyrics ("Get all the homies to bounce / Switch from the bed to the couch / And get to know how I'm feelin' inside") and sound positively heaven-sent is a testament to Grande's singularity. Sprinkled with Grande's casual whistle notes, "Nasty" is an effortless display of taste and talent. In my first-listen review, I compared its vibe to "a mist that makes you tipsy if you walk through it, or a very glamorous ghost." Thanks to this ingenious production from The Rascals, "Nasty" bounces and glides. The song pairs a shimmery, almost-spooky landscape with an elastic trap beat. The dialogue surrounding "Nasty" has focused too much on its filthy premise and not nearly enough on how much it slaps. "Nasty" is the ninth track on "Positions." ![]()
