A spin-off the song made famous by the character of Glinda in Broadway hit “Wicked,” “Popular Song” is still proof of Grande’s talent while also exhibiting an ability to not take herself too seriously, something that I can finally say is unlike Mariah Carey. However, it is Grande’s collaboration with quirky, falsetto aficianado MIKA that would put Mandy Moore’s “Candy” to shame. In contrast, “Piano” makes for a joyful, Rihanna-esque club song that inches away from the Mariah mantra, but it relapses in “Daydreamin’.” This gives Grande leeway and room to skate through as many musical scales as possible before being expected to come in for the chorus. Her single off the album, “The Way,” featuring Mac Miller, is perhaps the honors thesis to “Yours Truly.” The song, similar to the entire album, dedicates itself to young love, young men and young hope accompanied by a simple R&B backtrack, smooth piano and finger snaps on the downbeat. Whether “Yours Truly” does so is debatable. However, she is not Carey, who is more than twice Grande’s senior, and in the market of songstresses blessed with the ability to sing in octaves of heavenly proportions, Grande must find her niche. Additionally, the formula of her songs on Tuesday’s release is a carbon copy of the Mariah method, beginning as a tune easy to sing along and ending as a solo for your dog whistle. It’s hard to discuss Grande’s grand voice absent of Mariah Carey analogies, and, undoubtedly, the pitch of Ariana’s voice can easily be mistaken for Mimi. The sugary sweetness in Ariana Grande’s (Grande-Butera’s) voice is enough to give you a cavity, and her debut album, “Yours Truly,” will keep dentists worldwide in business.
