It\u2019s called Sweetener, and if you\u2019ve been wondering what the title was going to be, if you\u2019d paid close attention to Ariana\u2019s Instagram posts, you might just have picked up on a clue, as way back in November 2016 she posted a very subtle clue, captioning one of her photos simply with the word \u2018sweetener\u2019. Ariana states that the title is all about sweetening a situation, bringing light to someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Half the album has been produced by Maz Martin, and the other half by Pharrell of Happy fame. Nas, and songwriters Savan Kotecha and Ilya have also been involved in the production of the album. This album is close to Ariana\u2019s heart as she has either written or co-written all the songs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A new single too!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only is the new album released, but also another single from the album, No Tears Left To Cry. It seems that Ariana likes leaving clues for her fans as in the video for the new single there\u2019s a track list for the album on the floor. Of course we\u2019ve already had the awesome The Light is Coming, her collaboration with Nicki Minaj.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The album track list<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The track list teaser doesn\u2019t have the songs in order.
