In a recent revelation, global pop sensation Ariana Grande has shared that she and fellow superstar The Weeknd once recorded a collection of songs together that never saw the light of day. The singer explained in an interview that the material was ultimately abandoned as it did not feel suitable for that specific moment in their careers.
The Unreleased Collaboration
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Grande disclosed her studio sessions with Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye. She confirmed they worked on multiple tracks but made a joint decision to shelve the entire batch. "We had a set of songs together that we scrapped because they weren't right for the time," Grande stated. This candid admission has ignited fresh curiosity among their massive fanbases in Pakistan and worldwide, who have long hoped for new music from the duo.
A History of Chart-Topping Hits
This news comes amidst persistent fan speculation about a potential future collaboration. The two artists are no strangers to successful partnerships. Their first major team-up was on the hit single "Love Me Harder" in 2014, a defining track from Grande's My Everything album. They reunited years later on "Off the Table" from her 2020 record Positions, which featured a guest verse from The Weeknd. These past successes make the idea of unreleased material particularly tantalizing for listeners.
Focus on Acting and Future Music
While fans eagerly await new musical projects, Ariana Grande has recently been immersed in her acting career. She is starring in the highly anticipated film adaptations of the Broadway musical Wicked. However, she has assured fans that music remains a core part of her identity. In a separate interview, she clarified that while her packed schedule means new music isn't coming immediately, she is deeply committed to her creative output and will return to the studio when the time is right.
The revelation about the scrapped songs with The Weeknd adds an intriguing layer to both artists' discographies. It highlights the careful consideration they give to their art, choosing to release only what feels authentic to their career trajectory at any given moment. For now, fans can revisit their existing collaborations and stay tuned for what both musical powerhouses do next.
