We reckon she had borrowed it from boyfriend (and backing dancer) Ricky Alvarez – who happened to be in attendance at the playback too. There was the aforementioned off-duty footwear, but she also wore sweat pants and an oversized Ralph Lauren POLO sweatshirt that looked both mega-comfy and like it might belong to a lover… She pulls off boyfriend-chic effortlesslyĭressed down for the event, Ari still looked every bit the A-List star with her natural beauty and confident posture. For her playback, however, she relaxed in some pretty chilled flats (if we had to guess, we’d probably say they were Keds).īut it looked like her feet weren’t used to being on firm ground – we noticed whenever she walked in the room she stood on her tip toes. This is more an observation than anything, but ordinarily we see the Love Me Harder star tottering around in giant heels. We bet Princess Charlotte is taking notes. ‘Aint you ever seen a Princess be a bad b*tch?’ Ari sings on bumping RnB pop track Bad Decisions. There are F-Bombs and ‘good s**t’ galore! There are more obscenities on the albumĪ phallic seated bicycle isn’t the only dirty reference on the album. We think we’ll stick with a Brompton for the morning commute for the time being. During her spot, Nicki references riding one. That’s a thing now, thanks to Nicki,’ Ari laughed. And guest vocalist Nicki Minaj drops some brand new filth on the track. With a light Caribbean vibe, Side To Side is a highlight from the new album (‘That’s one of my favourites,’ Ariana said after playing it for us). Nicki Minaj has given us a brand new dirty phrase With Lyrics like ‘You’re no good for me, darling,’ Macy sounds like she could be singing something straight from 21.
While Ari might not have mastered Macy Gray’s vocals, Macy seems to have done a great job toning up to sound like Adele.Īs we all know, Macy usually sounds a little bit gravelly (who doesn’t love her raspy classic I Try) but her feature on Leave Me Lonely sounds much more honeyed and effortlessly soulful. Macy Gray sounds like she’s trying to impersonate Adele But we will be suspicious if she ever does a duet with Celine Dion. At least this means the guest vocals are all genuine. ‘Damn! I have to learn them all now!’ she giggled to .uk. She can’t do impressions of Nicki Minaj, Macy Gray or FutureĪriana has become as famous for her impressions as she is for her own impressive vocals, having wowed with pitch perfect impressions of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Shakira and Rihanna on Jimmy Fallon and SNL.įor her third album, the star is joined by Macy Gray on Leave Me Lonely, Nicki Minaj on Side To Side, and Future on Talent Show – but she confessed she can’t impersonate any of them. ‘It is not what you would assume at first listen! It is not that!! It is romantic,’ she corrected us, before playing the pulsating ballad about lusting after someone who isn’t there.Ĥ. ‘This one is called Touch It,’ she said, introducing another track and immediately prompting sniggers around the room.

She’s not too good with innuendo either (although this is our fault, not hers)īritain loves a suggestive comment – but it seems we have our minds in the gutter too much. I was wondering why it didn’t start,’ she laughed, then hit play again to delight us with a bumping RnB pop hit.


‘This next one is called Bad Decisions,’ she said – followed by a long, Long, LONG pause. But at one point there was only silence when it play. The playback went without a hitch! Except one…Ari had a laptop at the front of the room which she played each track from. Politely introducing a collection of tracks from the album, Ari giggled: ‘I feel like this is like story time or like a talent show or something!’ as she noticed the room was clinging to her every word.Ģ.
