Ariana Grande to return with new album, petal
Ariana Grande has announced her upcoming eighth album, petal, due in July.
petal follows Grande's 2024 album, eternal sunshine, and her performance as Glinda in Jon M. Chu’s films Wicked and Wicked: For Good. The album was executive produced and co-written by Grande and producer-songwriter ILYA, with Grande describing the collection of songs as, “Something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging”.
Although Grande hasn't yet released any teasers of the upcoming album, she's been busy on the film, TV, and theatre side, having finished production on Universal’s Focker-In-Law, set for release in November, which will see her star alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. Grande will also be appearing in an upcoming season of American Horror Story, and is set to make her stage debut on London’s West End in an adaptation of Sunday in the Park with George, also starring Jonathan Bailey.
