Those closest to Grande have praised Sweetener as her most mature release to date. Grande’s manager Scooter Braun, who also represents Justin Beiber and Carly Rae Jepsen, told Variety that the album will initiate “her time” as an artist. “She has such an extraordinary voice and it’s time for her to sing the songs that define her,” he said. “Whitney, Mariah, Adele … when they sing, that’s their song. Ariana has big vocal moments; it’s time for her song.”

Pharrell Williams, who produces on the album and is featured on the track “Blazed,” spoke similarly high about Grande’s evolution. “In all honesty, I feel like [after Manchester] was when different people from the record company actually started to understand what we were trying to do,” he told The Fader. “It’s unfortunate that that situation is what gave it context, but they were able to really see it then. And that’s the truth.”

Grande has also revealed some of her favorite tracks to fans on Twitter. When asked what the best tracks on Sweetener are, the singer responded by writing: “okay omg…..so currently ‘I’m in this world,’ ‘r.e.m.,’ ‘borderline,’ ‘pete davidson,’ ‘better off,’ ‘goodnight n go’….but it changes a lot..’borderline’ & ‘everytime’ i go back n forth between in this top five.” Check out the official tracklist above.

Grande’s fiancé Pete Davidson, who inspired the namesake track, also listed some of his early favorites. Grande posted a video of the Saturday Night Live star as he rattled off his recommendations: “God Is a Woman,” “Pete Davidson,” “R.E.M,” “Sweetener” and “Better Off.” He adds: “They’re all sick.”
