Ariana Grande Shuts Down Haters with a Heartfelt Plea Amidst the Success of “Eternal Sunshine”

 

Ariana Grande is taking a stand against negativity as she addresses the influx of “hateful messages” circulating on social media in response to her latest album, “Eternal Sunshine.” The emotionally charged project follows Grande’s recent split from Dalton Gomez, her partner of two years, and her newfound connection with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

In a candid message on her Instagram Story, Grande urged fans to refrain from spreading negativity about the people in her life based on their interpretations of the album. She emphasized that such messages do not support her and go against the very essence of what she encourages. Grande clarified that despite the album delving into painful moments, it is interwoven with a thread of deep, sincere love, a sentiment she hopes listeners can grasp more closely.

Released last Friday, “Eternal Sunshine” marks Grande’s first full album since her 2020 project, “Positions,” which dominated the Billboard 200 albums chart for two weeks. The new album has already made waves, claiming the title of the most-streamed album in a single day of 2024. Grande described “Eternal Sunshine” as a “kind of a concept album,” featuring different heightened pieces of the same story and experience. The lead single, “Yes, And?” debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Peter Wilson breathes melody into Utah Phillips’ legacy with haunting new single “Old Man”

Peter Wilson

“Old Man,” Peter Wilson’s newest song, is a raw intergenerational dialogue steeped in empathy and aching humanity. Written in collaboration with the now-deceased Utah Phillips, a legendary folk musician known as the “Golden Voice of the Great Southwest,” this song presents a moving narration through the eyes of someone society too often neglects.

With lyrics by Phillips and music by Wilson, “Old Man” unites two poets in time. The effect is a gorgeously stripped-down folk ballad that comes across less like a performance than a moment of authentic listening, like a man on a park bench finally telling you the truth about his life, and you can’t help but lean in. Wilson’s acoustic music is spare and stark, letting the story do the heavy lifting. Every chord sounds intentional, as if he’s allowing room for the words to breathe, not speeding them up, just allowing them to speak. His tone is steady and gentle, almost reverent, echoing and channeling the spirit of Phillips’ storytelling. Every note carries the respect you can hear.

However, what makes “Old Man” land so much harder is its unvarnished honesty. There’s no fancy version of homelessness here. No over-dramatization or overproduction. Just quiet, contemplative music that puts you in someone else’s frayed shoes. It’s the kind of song rarely written, inviting you to rest momentarily contemplate. The track feels timeless, rooted in classic folk, and has fresh emotional resonance. It resonates with today’s audience as incisively as it may have decades ago, reminding us that tales like this still play out on every street corner daily.

By combining Utah Phillips’ words with his musical setting, Peter Wilson has created more than a song. He’s made a vessel for compassion, memory, and our oneness as humans. “Old Man” has no interest in working for your attention. It quietly earns it.
