“Ariana and the Rose predicted the Dance-Pop revival...[she] is ready to ascend from indie act to mainstream star.” People Mag "The album eschews second guessing in favor of bold statements, from the inclusivity anthem “Every Body” to the unrepentant “If New York Is Dead, Then Bury Me With Her” to the confident dancefloor come-on “Cosmic Lover.” Billboard “Sonically, the pulsing '80s synths and drum machines recall early Madonna and the retro-meets-modern pop of Carly Rae Jepsen.” Popdust Hypnotic and hyper-imaginative, she exists in a wildly dazzling world all its own. Since first emerging, the NYC-based artist has built up a rapturous following on the strength of her ultravivid synth-pop. Amassing over 11M streams and more than 72k followers on TikTok (where her videos have drawn over 12M views), in February 2022 she made her late night TV debut on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. On her debut album Lonely Hearts Club, which People Mag called “an impressive dance LP packed with hummable hooks and empowering lyrics that her foremothers (like Robyn and Kylie Minogue) would be proud of", Ariana catalyzes the kind of communal transcendence that’s hugely essential after so much uncertainty. “There’s been so much sadness over the past couple years, people are feeling how hard it is to just keep going,” she says. “I hope this album fills everyone back up with whatever they need to feel good again, and gives them back that optimism that they maybe thought they’d lost forever.”
