![]() Pleading with her to let it all go is Ty Dolla $ign, whose raspy vocals ground Grande’s airy flutter. Over a heartbeat pulse and a luxuriant melody, Grande muses on that feeling of fully giving yourself to someone else, and the fear that it brings. A synthetic blur of jackhammer beats and vertigo-inducing drops, it comes with an inbuilt drunk-at-3am holler via the nonsensical “Now that I’ve become who I really are”. Break Free (2014)Ĭo-produced by Max Martin alongside German EDM practitioner Zedd, Break Free finds Grande loosening that famed high ponytail and charging towards the party. The sound of a star arriving fully formed. Melodies tumbles, Mariah Carey-esque vocal runs rise and fall, while Grande sounds genuinely ecstatic as she and future boyfriend Miller exchange ad-libs. The lead single from Grande’s debut album, Yours Truly, the 00s R&B of The Way bounds around like an excitable puppy. As the song drifts into its third act, it’s Grande who takes the line “I hear the thunder coming down won’t you rain on me?” on to a dancefloor stained with tears. She faces the rain/pain head on and relishes showing it who’s boss with a snarl, while Grande seems to accept its appearance but doesn’t let it stop her. Post-lockdown 2020’s summer banger, the stoic Rain on Me is chiefly Gaga’s show.
