2013 - present: musical career and Yours Truly

They can expect a lot of honesty. It's like a direct... you know, it's like it used to be pages from my diary, instead of keeping diary, I would write songs about what was happening in my life. So it's really personal. It's a Motown throwback and pop at the same time, so it's '50s and '60s inspiration mixed with today.

— Ariana Grande, on the album.[24]

Artistry

"I love Mariah Carey. She is literally my favorite human being on the planet. And of course Whitney [Houston] as well. As far as vocal influences go, Whitney and Mariah pretty much cover it. I love Fergie as well. She’s just so fun and passionate. I love that she raps as well. Like, she has a fantastic voice and she can belt Gs and As and she doesn’t have to do it all the time. She just has swag and I think that’s really cool.

— Ariana Grande, on her musical influences.[65]

Grande possesses a four octave range reaching a high of E7.[66][67] Her voice has been compared to that of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.[68][69] Ariana expressed her feelings towards being compared to Mariah Carey as a "blessing".[70]

Her music is generally pop and contemporary R&B, and has features of funk, dance, and hip hop.[71][72]

Grande's debut is described as being half a "throwback" to the R&B music of the 1990s, and the second half she describes as "something that is very unique and very special that I've sort of written" which is completely original. In summation of the record she stated: "So half of it is a throwback and like very familiar feeling, feel-good, and then half of it is something that I've created that's sort of special and unique and refreshing and wonderful and I love it".[73]

Grande is mainly influenced by Mariah Carey, India.Arie and Whitney Houston.[12][65][74] She is also influenced by English singer, composer and songwriter Imogen Heap.[74] Grande is a big fan of Fergie describing her as "fun and passionate".[65][74] She grew up mainly listening to urban pop and 90s music.[72][74] Grande also describes Big Sean as her favorite rapper, with whom she is good friends.[72] Whilst working on her debut album Grande was inspired by a variety of different artists, ranging from Amy Winehouse and Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.[75]

Grande is a vegan[90] and has adopted three dogs.[91]

Grande was raised a Roman Catholic but has since abandoned Christianity after Pope Benedict said that SpongeBob SquarePants, Harry Potter, being gay, and working women were all 'sins'. Grande stated, "I lost faith when the Pope decided to tell me that everything I loved and believed in was wrong." She has since converted to Kabbalah which is an offshoot of Judaism. She say the basis lies in the idea that if you’re kind to others, good things will happen to you. [92]
