Back in January, Grande told Variety that the deluxe version was “in the can” and would include a few new songs.
“It’s a very special project,” Grande said. “I’m out there so much right now. I want to let my children miss me for two seconds. I’m excited to surprise them with it at some point, but I’m still mulling over the timing in my head. It’s not the end of ‘Peaches’ just yet, but she’s going in the closet for a minute.”
She continued, “The album is so concise, and I didn’t want to add songs just for the sake of it. The new tracks are short, but they really count.”
Earlier this month, Grande teased the release of “Eternal Sunshine” deluxe, telling Variety on the Oscars red carpet to “keep your eyes peeled.” She also hesitated to say it’ll arrive “soon” because “soon means 10 days or less. I’m not allowed to use that word in this moment.”
The release of “Eternal Sunshine” deluxe comes just over a year after the original edition’s debut. Grande received three Grammy nominations for the album and its singles, including best pop vocal album, best pop duo/group performance for “The Boy Is Mine” remix with Brandy and Monica, and best dance pop recording for “Yes, And?”
Variety‘s Jem Aswad wrote in his “Eternal Sunshine” album review, “So what does Ari@30 sound like? Older and wiser, sure, but also seasoned, patient and, dare we say, mature, both lyrically and musically. If it felt like her last couple of albums represented finding her voice as an artist, now she’s really found it.”
