Ariana Grande's extremely prepared for Everlasting Sunshine album is making landfall tonight (March 8), and fans had the ability to delight in another bit of info before the complete expose. The Grammy-winning vocalist exposed a cut entitled “The Boy Is Mine” on the main tracklist, which is supposedly a re-imagined variation of Brandy and Monica's timeless 1998 tune of the very same name.
The Sweetener developer initially mentioned the record throughout her interview on the Zach Sang Show last month. While the 2 discussed her “Fantasize” single being dripped on the web, Grande exposed that she put another “90s woman group ambiance” tune on Everlasting Sunshine to offset the leakage.
[‘Fantasize'] wasn't my tune and it wasn't for me. It resembled a parody of a 90s woman group ambiance, however they enjoyed it. They liked it a lot,” she informed Sang. “I took the note and I provided Ariana's variation of that on the album. I would state that exists. A few of those seedlings from that time really made their method onto the album.”
She spoke with Zane Lowe and dove more into why she desired to carry out the concept. “I've constantly wished to re-imagine [‘The Boy Is Mine'] in some sort of method … In a method, I was type of like, ‘This is a really bad concept.' There is a big group of my fans that actually do like a bad lady anthem, and this is a raised variation of that,” she stated.
Motivated by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's 1982 duet “The Girl Is Mine,” “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica is mainly considered as among their most popular hits. The Never Ever Say Never track offered 2.6 million copies and invested 13 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Monica might not be too fond of the upcoming remake. On the 25th anniversary of her sophomore album,The Boy Is Minethe Atlanta crooner revealed she would choose if the traditional duet with Brandy was left unblemished by cover artists.
“I honestly think that it's for Brandy and I,” the songstress detailed to The Hollywood Reporter when inquired about the tune possibly being remade. “I value that she and Rodney [Jerkins] asked me to be a part of the tune and belong of the record, however for me, it's a part of history that I would like to stay unblemished.”
Throughout the rollout for Everlasting Sunshine, Grande dealt with fans with her “yes, and?” single. Soon later, she upped the enjoyment by circling around back with a remix including the famous Mariah Carey.
