PRESENT DAY ARIANA (aka The Return To Musical Theatre)
Yes, and? Jan 2024.
Director Christian Breslauer
Say less, more of a sleeper hit grower than an immediate earworm, Christian Breslauer launches the new era of Ariana and with impeccable choreography, lowkey some of her smoothest vocals to date and an immaculately manicured middle finger up to the haters. We had the dance down before she turned back to stone...
Fun facts - the GPS coordinates shown on the business card at the start of the video direct you to a random location in Montauk, NY - a sly easter egg for her next release (and bigger hit). Also, the pinch and pull hand choreo is actually the ASL gesture for “and” delivered with the precise attitude of the song. And, lest we forget, this track saw legendary pop producer Max Martin leapfrog George Martin of the Beatles to hold the record for most Billboard Number 1’s. Oh, and the Mariah remix but we don’t talk about that out of respect.
