While the posts provided glimpses into the album’s aesthetic, not much detail about the project was revealed.The album’s first single and video, titled “Yes, And?,” were released last Friday, showcasing influences from ’90s hits by Madonna and Janet Jackson. The video intentionally paid homage to Paula Abdul’s 1988 clip for “Cold Hearted,” generating significant buzz and even prompting Abdul to express her excitement on social media.Grande officially hinted at the album on December 27, with a carousel of Instagram photos and videos. The posts included various in-studio memories, such as a video of Grande’s mother dancing, a screenshot of a FaceTime call with dancing, a photo of a warehouse (possibly a music video set), and another photo showing her crying. The singer captioned the post, “The two moods of the album.”
In addition to her musical endeavors, Grande has been busy with entrepreneurial pursuits, including her R.E.M. Beauty line, which she promoted through a care package sent to fans. The package featured a photo of her red-tinted lips and red lipstick along with a handwritten note that repeated the message: “See you next year.”
Apart from her music, Grande has taken on the role of Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of “Wicked,” scheduled for release in November. She also recently signed with Good World Management, led by Brandon Creed, following her departure from longtime manager Scooter Braun.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “Eternal Sunshine,” hoping for a fresh and innovative musical journey from the Grammy-winning artist after her hiatus. Grande’s ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary influences has intrigued audiences, setting the stage for an exciting return to the music scene.
