Ariana Grande - This One's For You (2019)

Ariana Grande-Butera was born on 26 June 1993, and began her music career at age 15 in the 2008 Broadway musical '13'. She rose to fame for playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon television series 'Victorious' between 2010 and 2013, and then 'Sam & Cat' for the next two years. She signed with Republic Records in 2011 after label executives viewed YouTube videos of her covering songs, and her 1950's doo-wop-influenced pop and R&B debut album, 'Yours Truly', was released in 2013, topping the US Billboard 200, while it's lead single 'The Way' reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. She continued to explore pop and R&B on her second studio album, 'My Everything' in 2014, experimenting with EDM, and achieving global success with its singles 'Problem', 'Break Free' and 'Bang Bang'. Two years later, 'Dangerous Woman' became her first of four consecutive number-one albums in the UK. Personal struggles influenced her trap-infused fourth and fifth studio albums, 'Sweetener' in 2018, and 'Thank U, Next' in 2019, both of which were critical and commercial successes, with 'Sweetener' winning the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and 'Thank U, Next' breaking the record for the largest streaming week for a pop album. The singles 'Thank U, Next', '7 Rings', and 'Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored' made her the first solo artist to hold the top three spots on the Hot 100 simultaneously, and the first woman to succeed herself at the top of the UK Singles Chart. During the recording sessions for her albums, some songs were recorded but left off the finished record, and she also joined up with Mac Miller, Bia, and Ed Sheeran to record songs which remain unreleased, and so by collecting those offcuts and collaborations we have enough unheard and rare material to make up an enjoyable album from the singer.
