Get Ready for Ariana Grande's New Album in 2024!

Los Angeles: Ariana Grande is planning to surprise her fans with new music in 2024.

The '7 Rings' hitmaker took to social media on Wednesday to promote her new album, which will be released next year, according to Variety.

"See you next year," Grande wrote in the caption to a carousel of Instagram photo.

Grande shared a range of in-studio memories, each with a different tone: a video of Grande's mother dancing, a screenshot of a FaceTime call where she's dancing, a snapshot of a warehouse (perhaps a music video set? ), and another photo of her crying. "The two moods of the album," she said on Instagram. Grande also added a video from someone who mentions that it is "almost the last day of this album." "I'm so tired," she admits in the video. "But I'm so grateful and happy." I also have the impression that I weigh 3,000 tonnes.

Grande hasn't released an album since 'Positions,' which set multiple records in 2020. When it was released in October 2020, it debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, selling 174,000 album-equivalent copies.

Since earlier this month, Grande has been teasing her upcoming project on Instagram.

Ariana Grande's new album announcement comes just five weeks after she parted ways with long-term manager Scooter Braun and signed with Good World Management. This is her first assignment with the new agency. Her upcoming album will also be her first after her marriage to real estate agent Dalton Gomez and subsequent divorce. Outside of music, Grande has been preoccupied with her role in the upcoming film Wicked, which will be released in November 2024.
