Ariana Grande Unveils Tracklist for New Album 'Petal' at Kia Forum Concert
Ariana Grande unveiled the tracklist for her upcoming album "Petal" during her concert at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The album, set to be released on July 31, features 12 songs and is co-executive produced by Grande and ILYA. The tracklist includes songs like "kiss me," "stay," "freak," and "nowhere, nobody."
Grande had been teasing the track titles during her previous tour stops before revealing the full sequence at the concert. "Petal" will be Grande's eighth studio album, following her 2024 release "Eternal Sunshine," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Grande described the album as a departure from her earlier work, focusing on breaking free from negative attachments and exploring a more feral and bold tone.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour, which kicked off in June and will conclude with a 10-night residency at The O2 in London in September, has been a platform for Grande to showcase her new music. Despite teasing fans about the release of new music earlier in the year, Grande clarified that she would not be releasing any new music before May, as she was focused on the tour.
Grande's social media posts have hinted at the themes and inspirations behind "Petal," emphasizing growth, breaking free from negativity, and embracing a more daring and unapologetic approach to her music. Fans can expect a fresh and bold sound from Grande's upcoming album, which promises to be a significant departure from her previous work.
