Ariana Grande Plans to Release Extension of ‘Eternal Sunshine’

Ariana Grande hasn’t laid her most recent album, Eternal Sunshine, to rest quite yet. Although the pop singer and Wicked star has been focused on her acting career in recent months, she confirmed that there is unheard music from the LP that is yet to come.

Last night at the Golden Globes, Access Hollywood asked Grande if she was thinking about making any new music at the moment.

“It’s not something I’m thinking about right now,” she replied. “But, you know, there’s something I made last year that will come out eventually. It’s an attachment of Eternal Sunshine. So, that does exist, and that will be coming out at some point. But no, I’m not in the studio at the moment.”

It’s unclear exactly what Grande means by “an attachment,” but it sounds like another deluxe edition or at least a few more unreleased tracks. It’s also possible it could be a completely new release that is thematically connected to Eternal Sunshine, which dropped last March. Grande previously augmented the LP with a Slightly Deluxe version featuring four additional tracks: “Yes, And?” with Mariah Carey, “Supernatural” with Troye Sivan, an acoustic recording of “Imperfect for You,” and an a capella version of “True Story.”

In October, Grande premiered several orchestral live performance videos of the album’s song that showcased the singer alongside a 10-piece band. Those appeared on her follow-up deluxe edition, Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe and Also Live), which included new renditions of “Don’t Wanna Break Up Again,” “Eternal Sunshine,” “Yes, And?,” “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” and “Imperfect for You.”

Grande teased fans of an extended release period for Eternal Sunshine, writing on Instagram: “I cannot wait for everything that is yet to come within this eternal sunshine cycle (that has only just begun & may it never end).”

The singer was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture at the Golden Globes for playing Glinda in Wicked (she lost to Zoe Saldaña). She is nominated for four Grammys, including Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Dance Pop Recording.
