Happy Brighter Days Ahead day to those who celebrate: Today (March 28) brought the release of Ariana Grande’s new deluxe album, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead. The midnight release was followed this morning by a new short film, written and directed by Grande alongside Christian Breslauer.
As Grande indicated in a teaser shared ahead of the video’s release, the visual sees her, in character as Peaches, returning to Brighter Days Inc., where she had an Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind-style memory wipe in her “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)” video. This time, though, she’s significantly older.
Grande previously said of the deluxe album, “It’s funny because I really thought that it was just a very concise body of work that it what it is, and I think, forever in my head, Eternal Sunshine is that album. But, with time, I’m like, ‘Oh, maybe there are some new ideas that could be included.’ But yeah, I’ve been writing a lot, and maybe there’s some more, but I would like to do a deluxe at some point.”
