Ariana Grande Shares ‘Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe)’
The expanded edition features collaborations with Troye Sivan and Mariah Carey.
Ariana Grande has shared a new version of her critically acclaimed album, eternal sunshine (slightly deluxe), via Republic Records.
The new eternal sunshine (slightly deluxe) features four additional songs including brand new releases, “supernatural (feat. troye sivan)”, “imperfect for you (acoustic),” “true story (acapella),” and the previously released updated version of “yes, and? (feat. mariah carey).”
On Friday, eternal sunshine immediately topped the charts and became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 so far. “yes, and?” debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and marked Ariana Grande’s eighth No.1 and twenty-first Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
On Saturday, Ariana appeared on Saturday Night Live as musical guest, performing “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” and “imperfect for you.”
Earlier this week, Grande shared the music video for “we can’t be friends (wait for your love).”
The new visual, directed by Christian Breslauer, follows the pop star as Peaches, a woman who signs up to have her memory wiped. As she has nodes attached to her head in a doctor’s room, she retraces scenes from an old relationship, with her ex-partner — played by Evan Peters — disappearing from her mind as she trawls back through their time together.
The concept of the “we can’t be friends” video nods to Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet’s 2004 movie, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. The film also loosely inspired Grande’s new album, which was released on (March 8).
Eternal sunshine received praise from publications across the board upon release. “Grande’s latest is a gorgeously exposed journey to the end of her world — or at least what she believes to be the end,” Rolling Stone wrote. “It’s a divorce album that goes through all the stages of grief, and the singer navigates a new beginning with some of the most honest and inventive songs of her career so far.”
