Media Diary: Week Two

My Everything is a second album to be released by the American artist Ariana Grande. It followed after her first album Yours Truly was released in 2013. The artist herself describes it as 'an evolution' from her first album, taking her around 7 months to create it. She began writing recording the music in October 2013, finishing it in May of 2014. It was then released on the date of August 22nd in 2014. Ariana recorded her album in a variety of music studios, with her producer, and Music label Republic.

This genre of music is described as Pop/R&B, with a purpose to entertain an audience with interest in this style of music. The target audience would be anyone interested in this style of music, but I would personally say it's targeted at teenagers aged 15-17, even though I believe any age group could enjoy this media text.

Throughout this Album, Ariana has released two singles. These include her lead single Problem featuring Iggy Azalea, as well as her second single Break Free featuring the music producer Zedd. Her album consists of 15 tracks, including one which is an Intro, and she is planning to release the song Love Me Harder on the 30th of September.

Personally, this is the genre of music I'm interested in, so after a friend recommending Ariana Grande's first album to me, I felt like it would be beneficial to listen to her second album. I was more pleased listening to her second album, because it seems more advance and individual compared to her first album. Listening to this album, I think people would have different responses, according to their personal interests and music taste. For example, someone who listens to heavy metal or rock music is less likely to listen to enjoy this album compared to a person who enjoys pop and R&B music.

In order to consume this text,  people could simply listen to this music if they need something to listen to, or if they are doing work with the album on in the background. Songs coming from the album can also be heard on the radio, so a lot of people will probably hear it from there.
