Host SOUND of the Club Ambition Podcast didn’t hold back in his live reaction to Ariana Grande’s ‘Eternal Sunshine Deluxe’, giving fans a raw, track-by-track breakdown of the five new songs. Titled “Brighter Days Ahead,” the episode sees SOUND alternating between listening to the tracks for the first time and sharing his unfiltered thoughts on the lyrics, production, and overall impact.
Underrated & Overlooked?
Before diving into the new material, SOUND expresses frustration over the original album being “underrated” and snubbed by the Grammys. Despite its lack of award recognition, he insists the album is “fire” and deserves more respect.
Track-by-Track Breakdown
SOUND methodically dissects each of the five new tracks, offering interpretations and standout moments:
- “Twilight Zone” – A reflective take on an ex moving on and becoming unrecognizable in a new relationship.
- “Warm” – Dubbed a “summer banger” and SOUND’s personal favorite from the new batch.
- “Dandelion” – Features a hard-hitting beat and what SOUND describes as “explicit undertones”.
- “Past Life” – A song about finding independence and letting go of the past.
- “Hempstead” – The most philosophical of the set, delving into the experience of feeling everything rather than nothing.
Grande’s Writing: “Like Poetry”
SOUND repeatedly praises Ariana’s songwriting, comparing her lyrical depth to poetry. He provides explicit interpretations of the meanings behind each track, adding a personal touch to his reaction.
