Back in early May, Ariana Grande served as guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she announced that her next album will be called Sweetner, which is dropping this Summer. In addition to that, she also revealed that she would be doing something “special” every 20th of each month leading up to the album’s release, and it appears she’s sticking to that plan. Following up “No Tears Left To Cry” & her feature on Nicki Minaj’s new single “Bed,” Ariana decides to come through today and share her new single called “The Light Is Coming,” featuring fellow “Bed”-collaborator Nicki Minaj.
“That’s what Nicki Minaj does, she elevates a record. If you’re going to have a rapper on a song, they need to really really really be there for a reason, and she does that every single time,” Ariana said about working with Nicki.
The Pharrell-produced track can be yours for free when you pre-order the album, Sweetner, now on iTunes.
The video for the track opens with a blonde Nicki in a dark forest, dressed in a black bubble trench coat and goggles. Rocking her signature ponytail, Ariana emerges with a lit orb in hand as she runs through the woods in her Reebok Classic Rapides. As the sky turns to pink, she continues to dance, surrounded by glowing round objects.
“The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole,” sings Ari under the night sky. Watch her bring light to the darkness below and let us know what you think of the track. ISSA BOP OR ISSA FLOP?
