Yours Truly is the debut studio album by American singer and actress Ariana Grande. It was released on September 3, 2013, by Republic Records. Incorporating R&B, Yours Truly was influenced by Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey, amongst Grande's other idols. Grande describes the album's first half as a 'throwback' to the R&B music of the 1990s, and the second half being 'very unique and very special that I've sort of written' which is completely original. On the album, Grande co-wrote six out of the twelve tracks. Contribution by Harmony Samuels, Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Patrick 'J. Que' Smith and Victorious co-star Leon Thomas III, as well as others, handling the production on the album. Grande recorded a number of songs on this album over a three-year period. The collaborations are with Big Sean, Mika and Mac Miller, in addition to The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, who features on the song 'Almost Is Never Enough' which was also included on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones soundtrack. Occasionally, the album dips into other genres such as adult contemporary music and dance music.

Background and conception[edit]
— Grande, on the album.[3]
Yours Truly is the result of three years of work.[4] The project underwent significant conceptual and sonic changes throughout that time. Grande began working on the album in August 2010 while she was filming Victorious and formally started to work on it with a record label after she was signed to Republic Records on August 10, 2011.[5][6][7] By September 10 of that year, Grande already had twenty songs prepared and was going through the process of narrowing it down to thirteen.[8] The first single, a bubblegum pop song called 'Put Your Hearts Up', was released on December 12, 2011.[9] The single was aimed at young audiences, perhaps intending to cater to Grande's core audience, which at that time was almost entirely made up by kids who knew her from Victorious. During an interview in June 2012, Grande described everything on the album as being '50s, 60s doo-wop-inspired' and revealed that two new singles were going to be released before the album, one of which was called 'Do You Love Me?' and featured SkyBlu.[10] Other songs that Grande had rights to, named and later leaked as being part of the album included 'Honeymoon Avenue',[11] 'Voodoo Love',[12] 'Pink Champagne',[13] 'Boyfriend Material',[14] 'Tattooed Heart',[15] 'Daydreamin'[16] and 'You're My Only Shawty'.[17] The latter never made it onto Yours Truly and was eventually given to Demi Lovato to record and include on her 2011 R&B-infused album Unbroken as 'You're My Only Shorty'.[18]
In 2013, Grande met up with her label and expressed dissatisfaction with the direction the album was taking. In several interviews during 2013, she admitted to having completely disliked her debut single, 'Put Your Hearts Up', and not having an interest in pursuing music of that genre.[19] She expressed a desire to make the type of music she grew up listening to, which was, 'urban pop, 90s music.'[20] Rapper Iggy Azalea turned down working on the album; she however did collaborate with Grande on her second album My Everything.[21] The album was originally titled Daydreamin and set to be released during August 2013.[22]
The album is inspired by a variety of different artists, ranging from Amy Winehouse and Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.[3] Grande describes the album's first half is a 'throwback' to the R&B music of the 1990s, and the second half is she describes as 'something that is very unique and very special that I've sort of written' which is completely original. In summation of the record she stated: 'So half of it is a throwback and like very familiar feeling, feel-good, and then half of it is something that I've created that's sort of special and unique and refreshing and wonderful and I love it'.[23]

In terms of music, Yours Truly explores a 'retro style' sound mixing 1990spop and R&B, with certain songs incorporating influences from mid-'90s hip hop, '50s piano pop, and doo-wop.[25] Scott Interrante from PopMatters complimented the music presented in the album and noted that compositionally and production wise, 'tropes of both styles are blended together effortlessly.'[26] As he perceived, 'erratic programmed drums support the rich harmonies and piano chords of the more doo-wop songs and the R&B tracks are infused with a wide-eyed optimism more associated with the ‘60s pop style.'[26]Pitchfork's Andrew Ryce felt that Grande opted 'for a 90s hip-hop soul vibe that awkwardly sits with the more doo-wop-indebted songwriting.'[27]
The album opens with an orchestral intro that introduces the first track 'Honeymoon Avenue',[28] a downtempo song composed in the key of F-sharp major and set in a 4
4time signature at a moderate tempo of 63 beats per minute.[29] The song explores the 1950s musical style mixing doo-wop with an urban-inspired sound.[27] Lyrically, 'Honeymoon Avenue' uses several metaphors to speaks about someone in a car being driven by her (romantic) partner. The driver is stuck to the same old route and driving mode that may make them crash.[30] In interview with MTV, Grande explained its lyrics saying that 'Honeymoon Avenue' 'is about knowing you are at the end of a relationship and wishing it could not be the end and go back to the beginning and start over.'[31] The second track 'Baby I' is drenched in a 'retro sound' from 1990s R&B and pop sonority.[32][30] Lyrically, 'Baby I' is a confession on Grande's behalf admitting a special love for someone and how she can't formulate her strong feelings into words.[33] The elements of 'Baby I' are further illustrated by its use of finger snaps, a syncopatedbeat, horns and drums.[33][27]
The third track 'Right There' features guest appearance by rapper Big Sean. Musically, 'Right There' also incorporates the influences frein 1990sR&B and urban music, mixing 'stabbing synths',[34]trap-inflected beat and a hip hopgroove.[27] Reviewing the song, Jason Lipshutz from Billboard noted that 'while Big Sean boasts about his sexual prowess, Grande flaunts her typically impressive melismas before ratcheting up the emotion for the finale.'[30] The fourth track 'Tattooed Heart' is a doo-wop song written in the key of G major with a tempo of 72 beats per minute in compound quadruple (12
8) time while Grande's vocals spans from D4 to F5.[35] 'Piano' is built on a hand-clapped rhythm, pulsating beats and a pianoloop.[36][37]
Release and promotion[edit]
To promote her debut single 'The Way', Grande visited various radio stations, including: Y-100 Miami,[38]93.3 FM,[39]Z100,[40]KIIS-FM,[41] and 99–7 Now.[42] Grande performed 'The Way' at several concerts produced for Top 40 radio stations, including KIIS-FM's Wango Tango concert on May 11, 2013 in Los Angeles,[43]101.3 KDWB's Star Party concert on May 17 in Minneapolis,[44]Kiss 108's Kiss Concert 2013 event on May 18 in Boston,[45]103.3 AMP Radio's Birthday Bash concert on June 30 also in Boston,[46] and Mix 93.3's Red White & Boom concert on July 5 in Kansas City.[47] Her first televised performance of the song was aired on May 29, 2013 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[48]
On August 1, 2013, Grande revealed the official artwork for Yours Truly, which features her kneeling on a bed of roses in front of a pink background. Due to fan criticism, she quickly unveiled a new cover, which simply featured the singer standing beneath a spotlight in a black-and-white image.[49] On August 7, 2013, Grande revealed the official track listing via iTunes, and Republic Records made pre-orders for the album available.[50] A music video for 'Almost Is Never Enough' a duet with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes premiered online on Vevo on August 19 to promote the film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. The track is featured on the film's official soundtrack. The album version of the track is two minutes longer and has been slightly altered.[51] It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 84.[52] 'Popular Song' featuring Grande was released on 21 December 2012 as a single from Mika's third studio album, The Origin of Love. The album version of the song features vocals from the original songwriter, Priscilla Renea, and contains expletives. However, the single version removes Renea and replaces her with Grande, removing the expletives.[53][54]
Grande performed 'The Way' and 'Baby I' at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards' Preshow on August 25, 2013.[55] The album was released nine days later,[56] and Grande also performed 'The Way' with Mac Miller on the Today Show along with 'Tattooed Heart' on September 3, 2013,[57][58] she also performed the latter at the 2013 Style Awards on September 4, 2013.[59][60] Grande also made several other appearances throughout the week appearing on Live! with Kelly and Michael, The Today Show and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where she performing an acoustic version of 'The Way'.[61]

Grande embarked on her first solo concert tour titled The Listening Sessions in support of Yours Truly.[62][63] Pre-sale tickets went on sale on July 18, 2013. Regular tickets went on sale on July 19. Pre-sale tickets had to be taken down early, as they were selling at such a fast rate that the tour was almost sold before regular tickets were available.[64] Grande also was the opening act for the last three US dates of Justin Bieber's Believe Tour. The performances took place in Jacksonville, Tampa, and Atlanta on August 7, August 8, and August 10, in support of the album.[65] It was at these Listening Sessions that Grande discovered the album reached number one on US iTunes.[66]

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 based on ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average of 81, based on 9 reviews.[77] At AllMusic, Matt Collar rated the album four stars out of five, saying that Yours Truly was 'surprisingly sophisticated and unique' which showcases Grande's soulful R&B vocals. He stated that the album often 'brings to mind the intonations of Mariah Carey which are most likely intentional.' Collar closed the statement saying that Yours Truly 'makes the most of her talent.'[28] Nick Catucci of Entertainment Weekly graded the album an A-, calling the album 'pure pop bliss' and 'one of the most purely enjoyable albums of the year' that is powered by her 'lithe, Broadway-honed voice'.[32] At The New York Times, Jon Caramanica gave a positive review of the album, writing that television shows such as American Idol and Glee 'have been responsible for an intense surge of interest in music on television, but they haven't left much of a mark on the shape of pop. That's because both shows are fundamentally conservative institutions, privileging the familiar and the unchallenging. They're about emulating, not innovating.'[25] Caramanica commended Grande for becoming the first 'identifiable pop star' who takes the 'rules of those enterprises, uses them as a foundation, and innovates atop them... She uses the 'Glee'/'Idol' template as a jumping-off point to make modern pop-R&B with a sturdy vintage backbone.'[25]
Writing in his track-by-track review Jason Lipshutz from Billboard rated the album an eighty-six out of 100, saying that 'Yours Truly carries the expectations of a young singer who has already proven herself on the pop charts, and even if the songs on her debut could not equal the quality of 'The Way,' Grande had the fan base and powerful pipes to survive a misfire.'[30] At PopMatters, Scott Interrante rated the album eight discs out of ten, writing that 'Minor missteps aside, Yours Truly is ultimately an impressive debut for Grande.'[82] Ryan Dennehy of AbsolutePunk rated the album a 70-percent, stating that 'Yours Truly is more tempered and less likely to put you in a beaming state of catatonia' that is 'a missive containing some of her most personal thoughts and her oft-regrettable youthful impulses.'[78] At Pitchfork, Andrew Ryce rated the album a 6.5 out of ten, calling it 'a very safe record.'[27] Lewis Conner of Digital Spy rated the album four stars out of five, writing how 'The production feels fresh, the lyrics are relatable and the melodies are as cool and sweet as a dollop of raspberry ripple', and where he also states that 'The tone and pace of the album rarely changes, but the songs feel accomplished, polished and vibrant'. Corner concluded by calling 'Yours Truly' a 'little less than a triumph.'[34] At The Michigan Daily, Gregory Hicks graded the album a B, saying 'most tracks are of quality composition, lyrically and melodically, but beat usage becomes excessive at times.'[80] Jim Farber of The New York Daily News rated the album three stars out of five, stating that because the 'armies of song doctors' that the release is 'far more tuneful than Mariah's interchangeable hits.'[81]
