Ariana Grande has confirmed that she has recorded a new album and shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos of herself and her collaborators working hard in the studio. The singer, who has previously worked with producer Ilya Salmanzadeh, songwriter Savan Kotecha, and singer Max Martin, revealed that she will be releasing the album soon. The emotional toll of creating the new body of work was evident as Ariana posted a photo of herself with tears in her eyes at the mixing board and a video of her sobbing on the sofa. Fans expressed their excitement and support for the upcoming album on social media.
It has been three years since Ariana's last album, Positions, was released. She has six albums to her name, including Thank U, Next and Dangerous Women. In addition to her music career, Ariana has been involved in her R.E.M Beauty business and the Wicked movie. She recently began dating actor Ethan Slater, who stars alongside her in Wicked, after her split from husband Dalton Gomez. Ariana's divorce from Dalton was finalized on October 6.
