Vi kender allerede adskillige stjerner fra Disneys sit-coms, der er fortsat over i musikbrancen. Den kendeste hedder Miley Cyrus, men på en af de konkurrerende børnekanaler, Nicklelodeon, begynder stjernefrøene nu også at poppe op. Den fremmeste af disse hedder Ariana Grande og er kendt fra serier som "Victorious" og "Sam & Cat". Denne debutskive har toppet hitlisterne i USA, og det er ikke kun på grund Arianas baggrund. "Yours truly" er nemlig en helt gedigen r&b-udgivelse, langt fra Arianas vanlige tween-univers. Stemmen er modig, teknisk velfunderet med reminicenser af Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey og Brandy, og musikalsk veksles der mellem indfølende ballader og uptempo tyggegummipop. Det er frisk og charmerende gjort.

"Minor missteps aside, Yours Truly is ultimately an impressive debut for Grande. The fact that she's managed by Scooter Braun and is continuing to gain exposure from her Nickelodeon show Sam and Cat, coupled, of course, with the strong material and her even stronger voice, makes it seem unlikely that Ariana Grande is going away anytime soon. And that's definitely a good thing".

"Though Grande has the talent to carry the album on her own steam, several tracks team her with guest performers, including the single "The Way," which features rapper Mac Miller; "Right There" with Big Sean; and "Popular Song," featuring Mika. Ultimately, cuts like "Baby I" and the jazz-inflected showstopper "Almost Is Never Enough," featuring the Wanted's Nathan Sykes, are bravura pop recordings that bring to mind the best of the '90s and of now".
