Grande posted a video of herself in a record studio in mid-April. In it, she described her new music as “something that’s full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.”
For her eighth studio album, the singer worked again with the Iranian-Swedish producer Ilya Salmanzadeh, who has also made music with greats such as Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith and Beyoncé.
Concert tour from June
Grande recently made a name for herself as an actress in the two-part film musical “Wicked” in the role of the good witch Glinda. She released her seventh studio album “Eternal Sunshine” in 2024 and announced a tour for this summer last year. She will perform in several US cities and Canada from June, and ten concerts are planned in London from mid-August. (sda/dpa)
