Ariana Grande claims that her life was saved by the “Thank U, Next” album

Ariana Grande says that her life was saved by her album “Thank U, Next.”

The 31-year-old pop artist has now disclosed that writing on that record served as therapy during the dark period she endured while fighting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the wake of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, which left 22 people dead and over 1,000 wounded.

“I was doing so much therapy, and I was dealing with PTSD and all different kinds of grief, depression, and anxiety,” she said when she spoke on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast.

Naturally, I was taking it very seriously, but the fact that music was a component of that treatment was unquestionably helping to save my life. The music provided a great deal of lightness during those gloomy days.

Just months after releasing her last album, “Sweetener,” Ariana released “Thank U, Next” in 2019. She says that her record company’s executives weren’t impressed by her decision to release a follow-up album so soon after the release of her previous album.

The label was aware that I had to release “Thank U, Next,” she said, but they were also quite reluctant to put “Sweetener” on hold and proceed with an album so soon.

“I just stated that I don’t give a damn about the formula. Since this is what my soul needs right now, I don’t want to follow the rules.It was really liberating and therapeutic.

It follows Ariana’s admission that she alters her speaking tone in order to “preserve” her vocal health and continue singing for many years to come.

Ariana is sure that it’s for the benefit of her voice, despite complaints that the chart star’s timbre has changed and that she now talks in a higher range than she used to.
