.RepublicRecords' Wendy Goldstein looks back at the making of record-shattering albums for ArianaGrande and jonasbrothers.
Below, Goldstein looks back on the making of that record-shattering album. After Mac [Miller] passed, Ari wanted to get into the studio -- not for the purpose of making an album, because she had just put one out, but just to write about her experiences. There was no pressure. It was real. Not that any of thetracks weren’t, but Ari said she wanted to put it out like a hip-hop artist would. It was spontaneous, and had an element of humor to it, which is very her.
Even before we started mixing, Ari got this idea to surprise drop the title track off-cycle. She called [producer] Tommy Brown one morning who then called me like “Ari wants to put this record out but it’s a Friday.” I was like “OK. She knows it’s not mixed right?” So I called Serban Ghenea, whose parents were visiting from Canada. I said “I need this Ariana Grande song mixed today, and it need to be mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound by 5 o’clock we might want to put it out tonight.
I always thought “7 Rings” was the bigger of the two records, but “Thank U, Next” had to come first. After the album hit No. 1, we celebrated at Nobu in Malibu with Ari’s real people: friends, family, management and her longtime vocal coach, Eric Vetro. To go through what she had gone through and put it all back into her work -- I can’t say how much I respect her.
History never repeats itself in the exact same way twice, but the double-album strategy worked for Ari in that moment in time because it was driven by a significant event. Everything aligned. The industry is moving so fast, but some of the care that I put into Ariana, I put into the Jonas Brothers’ comeback with “Sucker” -- a group that had something different to say about love, positivity, family and coming back. It cut through differently.
