Dangerous Woman

*Dangerous Woman* is an outing that showcases Ariana Grande’s increasingly ferocious voice and a newfound edge—in fact, it’s a swaggering step forward. She joins forces with Nicki Minaj for the devilish reggae of “Side to Side,” seduces Lil Wayne on the breathy “Let Me Love You,” and, expertly harnessing those extraordinary vocals, turns slinky Max Martin cut “Into You” into one of 2016’s most glorious pop moments.

Ariana Grande’s third album finds the 22-year-old pop star embracing a Sasha Fierce-like alter ego, with the help of Future, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray, and others.
