>Have you heard “Walking In the Light”?
Wow, I thought that I had heard all of her unreleased songs, but I've never heard this.
It sounds like it's from her Sweetener era.
Well Katy's New songs are also pretty good, she used to be my favorite artist along with Selena Gomez back in like 2010s and I became a fan of Ari as soon as I first heard The Way, been listening to every song since. I feel like they'd still make a good song together.
i don’t really listen to him like that but i’m obsessed with believe it with rihanna, she absolutely kills it.
if he had a collab with ari i would imagine and want it to be something like that.
I’m sure it would be very smart move for her to collaborate with a K Pop group after the internet’s hated her for over a year now for “looking Asian” recently.
2 of my fav artists im just curious as to how they would sound together. Carti is very versatile too having been on R&B and pop sounding production before so it would fit
it would never happen regardless but a part of me feels like ari wouldn’t be up for posthumous collabs. i just get that vibe that she would be against them.
If Whitney Houston was still alive it would be iconic. But I think her and Joji would be interesting. Both can inflict so much emotion when singing, and both have such soft and airy vocals. Although Joji doesn’t have as much range as Ariana, it can allow Ariana’s vocals to shine through the track and give the song more femininity to it. Joji’s recent album and his 2020 album remind me of a thank u, next with a hint of some Sweetener and positions themes. Both inflect so much emotion, and I think if they did something along the basis of get well soon, that was all about reassuring the people that they love in their life that they’ll be there and that they need to ground themselves and prioritize their mental health it would be an amazing track. With Joji’s rise to popularity and how he doesn’t really have any collabs with women it can allow him to explore new themes and ideas when collaborating. And also I think it would be interesting to see what their singing chemistry would be like. I like her and Able together, but she I hope she starts collaborating with more up and coming artist instead of people that are EVERYWHERE in that very moment.
Also I would love to see her with Tyler, the creator. I think his fun laid back playful approach to music and story telling in his music would be interesting with Ariana’s voice along with how they are paired together. I can just imagine such an interesting mod 60’s aesthetic with them together, very playful in colors that embraces lots of floral prints. Not only would the collab be playful and different musically but the aesthetic of it if they were to create a music video would be iconic.
And definitely of course Frank ocean. Ariana has been very public towards her love and admiration towards Frank ocean and his music. Having uploading a cover of “sweet life” over 10 years ago to her YouTube channel and singing “close to you” as an interlude to her sweetener/ thank u, next tour in between costume changes, she is a huge fan. So why hasn’t she worked with him yet?!?!? Their voices would be spectacular together, but both of them have approached their lyrical content differently. Ariana talks about love and physical affection as a main theme for a lot of her songs, she does discuss other things of course, like reassurance, self love, manifestation, heart break, and other topics. While Frank really dives into more social economic observations and observations on other people and how he perceives the world. Discussing things like privilege, and feeling unappreciated as a person. Yes Ariana has discussed grief, but it’s not as common in comparison to other themes of music. Both of them execute any feelings that they try to convey almost perfectly every time, the only problem they would run into in collaborating is what will they sing about? So I would love to see that.
Also I think it would be fun considering that Frank and Tyler have a LONGGGG history of working with each other for all 3 of them to make a collab. THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD.
Also with the direction of r&b vocals she should collaborate with more up and coming r&b artist. Such as Chloe, SZA, which were already on this list but I want to mainly talk about Ciara.
Ciara (especially after that body party x nasty remix craze, their production aesthetic would be amazing and super sensual yet fresh for both of them). Ariana would have a younger more fresh appeal on today’s demographic, while Ciara can guide the track to sound r&b letting Ariana adding her take on it. Both of their vocals are amazing, and they would be able to harmonize so well together. Both adds super beautiful ad libs in their music and often plays with the background instrumentals to give their music a bit of a twist on the genre their both in. Ciara usually adds a little bit of pop to her r&b and Ari is vice versa and tries to add r&b influences to her pop music, these two would be an amazing collab. Especially after “leave me lonely” and “borderline” Ariana makes an amazing collab with past R& B collabs.
And also Brandy. Kind of the same with Ciara. Sorry this got really long, but a lot of the suggestions can help expand Ariana’s audience and the person she’s collaborating with audience.
Taylor Swift
I've been wanting a collab between the two or years now. But I think it won't happen since Ariana's manager is still Scooter and Taylor isn't on the best of terms with him.
Kanye West, Kali Uchis, 2 Chainz(again), Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak. I know Kanye West will never happen, but if everything was good, it'd be very cool to see a collab of them.
Edit: I know it said not someone she's done a collab with already, but I really like their collabs.
honestly i always wished she would collab with victoria justice 🥺 (not counting the victorious soundtrack btw) especially since they seem to be on good terms now 💕
it’s a weird one but the one i really want to see is ari and travis scott. their styles are very different but i really think they could find a middle ground in terms of a sound and work well together. i doubt it will happen tho after the astroworld incident, her fans would probably give her pushback on it, making her reluctant to do it which is a shame. if that didn’t happen i could have actually imagined it.
drake aswell, so surprised that hasn’t happened. they would make an absolute chart topping hit. two superstars of this past decade.
**downvote** this comment if this post isn't suitable for r/ariheads. **upvote** this comment if you think this is a quality post.
Anderson .paak
Have you heard “Walking In the Light”?
>Have you heard “Walking In the Light”? Wow, I thought that I had heard all of her unreleased songs, but I've never heard this. It sounds like it's from her Sweetener era.
Yes not everyone talks about it much but I love it. Yes it is from the Sweetener era. I think it was supposed to go on Anderson .paak’s album though.
frank ocean
That would be a BEAUTIFUL song!
sza to destroy the english language
LMAO
sza except i feel like theyd make a banger 😭
A non-Christmas song with Mariah
All I want for Christmas is for Santa to tell me
if ari and celine dion did a ballad together….
JoJo
For real for real they would slay
Bruno Mars!
i don’t necessarily wish she would collab with drake (i’m neutral) but i’m just curious as to what a song with both of them would even sound like
I would say Kali Uchis but they're already confirmed to be connected and plan on making music together after Wicked wraps up
omggg for real!?
Yup! [https://www.nme.com/news/music/kali-uchis-ariana-grande-working-on-collaboration-3309353](https://www.nme.com/news/music/kali-uchis-ariana-grande-working-on-collaboration-3309353)
ahh!! it’ll be so angelic 😇
That's what happens when you put two angels together haha
can’t wait :D
Maybe Rihanna, Chloe, Her, or Katy Perry.
Katy Perry is one I have wanted for a long time but I feel like it would have only worked in her earlier eras
Well Katy's New songs are also pretty good, she used to be my favorite artist along with Selena Gomez back in like 2010s and I became a fan of Ari as soon as I first heard The Way, been listening to every song since. I feel like they'd still make a good song together.
I think it could happen I love when I’m gone but I think it would depend on what direction Ariana will go in.
FLO if yall don't know who they are check them out bc they are super talented and their harmonies remind me of ari
the way Ari would devour a song like not my job yea I can see it ☝🏾
sza
Party next door omggg I can only imagine the harmonies
i don’t really listen to him like that but i’m obsessed with believe it with rihanna, she absolutely kills it. if he had a collab with ari i would imagine and want it to be something like that.
Billie
Ong 100% i would throw myself into traffic for a chance to listen to this collab.
i love Billie and Ariana so much so yes

I’m curious about the harmonies and the type of song (ballad vs. pop hit) but god I know it’d be good
