Ariana Grande: Positions [Republic]
Ariana Grande’s new album Positions arrived with little buildup, getting announced in an October 14 tweet from Grande that read simply, “i can’t wait to give u my album this month.” The follow-up to last year’s thank u, next was led by the title track, which got a presidential music video. Positions includes appearances from the Weeknd (“off the table”), Doja Cat (“motive”), and Ty Dolla $ign (“safety net”).

Oneohtrix Point Never: Magic Oneohtrix Point Never [Warp]
Magic Oneohtrix Point Never takes its title from Boston’s Magic 106.7 radio station. The album serves as a retrospective of sorts for Daniel Lopatin’s lengthy and varied career; the music videos, for instance, have harkened back to cover artworks from his discography. Prominent collaborators on the album includeCaroline Polachek, Arca, and the Weeknd.
