Ariana Grande releases eighth album 'petal,' a darker, angrier swing at public scrutiny

E! News reports Grande dropped her eighth studio album petal on July 31, describing it as 'a little feral' and saying 'this time, I didn't filter as much as I usually do.' The title track's music video casts her as a rejected aspiring actress named Pepper and ends in a gory swipe at entertainment executives, marking a sharp departure from her usual aesthetic.
