She is signed to Universal Republic Records and has recently released her very first single, "The Way," on March 26th, 2013. It features her good friend and Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller (Check him out, he's pretty dope.)

Anywayzz, lets start with the lyrics.
So what I have come up with from listening to this song multiple, multiple.....MULTIPLE times is basically that she's telling her boyfriend or love interest or whomever(blehh) that she loves the way they make her feel. And Mac Miller's part I guess is telling the male point of view, which is pretty helpful I should think..
The song was actually written by  Harmony Samuels, Mac Miller, Jordin Sparks, Brenda Russell, Sevyn Streeter, and Al Sherrod Lambert. I don't really know any of those names except for, of course, Mac and JORDAN SPARKS!
NO AIR, NO AIRRRRRR!
As we all know, she's pretty good at writing popy love songs....
Check out the lyrics for yourself: The Way- Ariana Grande ft. Mac Miller Lyrics
The video for this song is pretty awesome two. It's Ariana as the main protagonist and she's dancing in a sea of balloons!(WHOOOOO, BALLOONS!) Mac is her love interest in the video and it shows him as the loving boyfriend taking picture(appropriate ones!) of her. There is a kiss in the video, of course! But the two have claimed to be just friends, so we're gonna stick with that till they say otherwise! I just also watched a VERY HILARIOUS video of YouTube Personality GloZell watching the video and Reading the lyrics of the song.

It's a flipping classic. You need to see it. 
But anyways, I found this song very refreshing to hear. In today's very techy-age, its urban-R&B, 60's style composition is quite interesting and like I said REFRESHING to hear! And her vocal range is FREAKIN' OUT OF THIS WORLD! AND AT 19 YEARS OLD, INCREDIBLE  She was hittin' those notes so well, I thought that Mariah Carey was in the song for a second! 
This girl is going to go VERY VERY far, in the bizz..if I do say so myself.
Hey, maybe I'll work with her one day and we can make an amazing song together???
I'll have my people call your people??
Haha, I keed, I keed! 
Kind of...
Anywhoo,

The 20/20 Experience by Justin Timberlake Review

So recently Justin Timberlake has stepped back into the music world with his new album called The 20/20 Experience.

And if I may say, WE WELCOME HIM WITH OPEN ARMS! This album has shown how Justin has grown in his music growth since his 'N Sync days, or even since his last solo album in 2006. I'm not necessarily saying that he was per say "musically immature" because he wasn't....he DEFIANTLY WAS NOT.

                     Justin Timberlake's Discography Since 2001
It just that this new album shows kind of a more R&B, neo-soul, hip hopy side to Justin which a lot of people are receiving very very well!
Here is the track listing for his album:

No.	Title	Writer(s)	Producer(s)	Length

Total length:				70:05

For one thing, Mr. Timberlake co-wrote on EVERY ONE OF HIS SONGS! Now c'mon! That takes some serious skills! But anyways back on track, so I've listened to this whole album and I have NO COMPLAINTS. I'm only going to be talking about the first three songs on the album.....so I can leave you intrigued! 

His first song, Pusher Love Girl, is a very R&B oriented and a very soothing, sensual song to be quiet honest. Which isn't a bad thing.....and it's a very great song. And normally I'm not all for 8 minute songs, but it flies by so fast you barely notice it was 8 minutes.

His second song, and very first single from the record, Suit & Tie which features rapper Jay-Z, is also very R&B oriented with little bursts of rap in there, which is a pretty good mix.

The lyrics are very catchy and are kind of give a classy feel. As does the music video for the song. I think it was represented perfectly. The song has also reached #2 on the US Billboards R&B/Hip Hops chart and #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts and is PLATINUM IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AND AUSTRALIA!

The third record on the album, Don't Hold the Wall, has a lot of African procession elements intertwined with major, MAJOR R&B elements. The song is about when you're usually at a club and people are standing against the wall instead of DANCING and like BEING NOTICED. I mean if people go to the club just to stand against the wall, they need to get their bootays out the club, 'cause some people are there to party and THEY(thewallhangers) are taking up oxygen space, ocraayy???

So check out this amazing album, I mean its a very refreshing album to hear in the music industry right now. If you're not into that type of music, I would just listen to the album out of curiosity....Kay? Kay? KAY????

I mean this album is so appealing to me, that I might JUST sing a cover of his songs from this album....who knows!(: 

Well, I'm gonna leave you with that,
