“Yes, And?” marks Grande’s first new solo music since her 2020 LP Positions; since then, she’s popped up on a few joint singles — like “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me” with Kelly Clarkson, Doja Cat’s “I Don’t Do Drugs,” and “Just Look Up” with Kid Cudi back in 2021 — but Grande has been quiet on the music front (outside of shooting the film adaptation of the Wicked musical) over the past two years.
However, Grande had been teasing her seventh album throughout 2023, posting photos from various recording studios with collaborators like Ilya — who worked on “Problem,” “God Is a Woman,” and “No Tears Left to Cry” — and pop mastermind Max Martin.
Prior to the new year, Grande posted a lengthy statement reflecting on her 2023, “One of the most transformative, most challenging, and yet happiest and most special years of my life.”
“There were so many beautiful and yet polarized feelings. I’ve never felt more at the mercy of and in acceptance of what life was screaming to teach me. I feel more human than ever. I feel more deeply than ever. I feel softer and stronger, all at once,” she wrote.
“I have never felt more pride or joy or love while simultaneously feeling so deeply misunderstood by people who don’t know me, who piece whispers together and make what they want out of me and their assumptions of my life. I have learned how much more important one of those things is than the other.”
