Upon my first listen, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia with major Madonna Vogue vibes. It’s as if Ariana Grande has stepped into a time machine and transported us to the glory days of ’80s pop. The track is infectious, with a beat that makes you want to dance like nobody’s watching – or at least dance like you’re in a fabulous Broadway production.
The video for “Yes, and?” is impossible not to draw parallels to Paula Abdul’s iconic “Cold Hearted” video. Ariana embraces her newfound theater side, channeling her inner Broadway diva while still serving us the pop vibes we know and love.
Now, let’s talk about Ariana’s stunning appearance in the video. Some people have been quick to comment on her new look, claiming she looks “unhealthy.” But honestly, who cares? The girl is slaying and living her best life. Ariana Grande has always been a chameleon when it comes to her style. Change is inevitable, and Ariana is proving that she’s not afraid to embrace it.
As for those naysayers, let’s remember that the entertainment industry has a long history of scrutinizing artists’ bodies. It’s time to break free (hee hee) from those outdated standards and let Ariana be the queen that she is. Besides, haven’t we learned anything from her lyrics? Say “Thank U, Next” to the negativity and let the woman shine!
In conclusion, “Yes, and?” is a triumph for Ariana Grande and a testament to her versatility as an artist. The video is a visual spectacle, the track is an earworm, and Ariana’s bold new look is just the cherry on top.
