Aria Grande Clarifies Speaking Voice Changes
Ariana Grande has addressed criticisms regarding a shift in her spoken voice during a recent interview clip that went viral. She explained that she deliberately alters her tone to protect her singing vocals.
The clip in question originated from an interview on the Podcrushed podcast with actor Penn Badgley from the series You. In the clip, Grande initially discusses recording new music in a lower voice before transitioning to a higher pitch.
Titled “the voice change??,” the clip gained traction on TikTok as fans discussed the noticeable difference in Grande’s tone.
Grande herself has now responded to the criticism, attributing the voice alteration to “habit (speaking like this for two years) and also vocal health.” She mentioned that she frequently adjusts her vocal placement (high/low) based on her singing workload.
Teasing New Music and Album Details
During the interview, Grande hinted at upcoming new music following the release of her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, in March.
She shared, “I went to the studio the day after the Met Gala and stayed for about 10 days; I was literally living there. I’ve been writing a lot, and maybe there’s more. I would like to do a deluxe at some point.”
Exciting Collaborations and Future Projects
Grande also disclosed plans for a new remix of her song “The Boy Is Mine,” featuring Brandy and Monica. The original track was released in 1998, and the revamped version is set for release soon.
Aside from her music endeavors, Grande is set to return to acting later this year, portraying the character Glinda in the film adaptation of the popular musical Wicked alongside Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. The first film of the two-part adaptation is scheduled for a November release.
Personal Life Updates
Earlier in March, Grande finalized her divorce from ex-husband Dalton Gomez after being married for nearly three years.
