Of course, this is a woman who’s earned Mariah Carey comparisons since “The Way” dropped in 2013, and Grande serves up the stratospheric vocal runs fans crave in the song’s second half. The instrumental drops out in the final 20 seconds, giving Grande room to riff atop powerful choir vocals. It’s an impressive show of both virtuosity and restraint, one that begs for an extended outro in a live setting. So far, Grande has offered three vastly different versions of herself on her first three Sweetener singles. “No Tears Left to Cry” gave her the chart-busting trap banger she needed, while the Nicki Minaj-assisted “The Light is Coming” hearkened back to the robotic, carnivalesque pop of Gwen Stefani’s Love. Angel. Music. Baby. On “God Is a Woman,” Grande performs with a maturity that her last two singles lacked, taking a fairly simple formula—heroic female pop vocals plus entrancing trap beats—and turning it into a bite-sized masterpiece. The track probably won't put to bed any controversial theological debates, but it sure made a lot of people believe in something tonight.
