MUMBAI: For the past few months, fans of singer Ariana Grande have been searching for clues about her next album, nicknamed AG6. Though the artist shared photos from her studio and snippets of old recordings, there was very little to go off — that is, until now. Here’s what Grande’s frequent collaborator, musician Tayla Parx, said about the upcoming album.

As an artist, Grande has been known to share bits of information with her fans, even if she’s not actively promoting a project. Famously always in the studio, as she once tweeted, the singer told Arianators she didn’t have new album plans going into 2020, though she didn’t confirm anything officially.
After releasing duets with Justin Bieber (non-album single “Stuck with U”) and Lady Gaga (“Rain On Me,” off the artist’s record Chromatica), Grande kept quiet about her forthcoming music. Then, on Sept. 14, after weeks of rumors, she shared the above snippet on her social media accounts, simply writing, “brb.”
Now, Parx reveals that a new album from Grande is pending. “The ‘Thank U, Next’ crew did get back together over quarantine,” she told a portal. “We just kind of let it happen naturally, [the] same way as the last album.” Parx added, “I think she has to tell you more about [the album] herself, but I can tell you she’s made, yet again, another evolution.”
“We’re just going to get to know her even more this time around, which I’m really excited for the world to see,” Parx continued. “I’m excited for her to tell you guys just more about where her head was at with this project, because it truly is incredible, honestly, and I can’t wait for the world to hear it.”
