Pop superstar Ariana Grande has surprised her fans with a new single, ‘Yes, And?’, which showcases her venture into the house music genre. The song, which was released on Friday, features a catchy chorus, a pulsating beat, and a sample of RuPaul’s iconic catchphrase, ‘Sashay away’.
Grande, who is known for her versatile vocal range and diverse musical influences, said that she wanted to experiment with a different sound and pay tribute to the drag culture that inspired her. “I’ve always loved house music and drag queens, and I wanted to create a song that celebrates both,” she said in a statement. “‘Yes, And?’ is about being confident, fierce, and fabulous, no matter what anyone says.”
The song is accompanied by a glamorous music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, who has previously worked with Grande on hits like ‘Thank U, Next’ and ‘7 Rings’. The video features Grande and a group of drag performers, including some familiar faces from RuPaul’s Drag Race, such as Shea Couleé, Jaida Essence Hall, and Violet Chachki. The video also includes a cameo appearance by RuPaul himself, who praises Grande’s performance and invites her to join the Drag Race hall of fame.
Fans and critics have reacted positively to Grande’s new single, praising her for her bold artistic choice and her support for the LGBTQ+ community. ‘Yes, And?’ is expected to debut at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart next week, making it Grande’s sixth number-one single in the US. The song is also the lead single from Grande’s upcoming seventh studio album, which is rumored to feature collaborations with other house music artists, such as Disclosure, Calvin Harris, and Daft Punk.
