Yours Truly (LP Re Issue) Muertes silenciadas: la verdad de los suicidios en Espaa y por qu. Yours Truly is the debut studio album by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on September 3, 2013, by Republic Records. Incorporating R&B, Yours Truly was influenced by Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Christina Aguilera, and Mariah Carey, amongst Grandes other idols. Grande describes the albums first half as a throwback to the R&B music of the 1990s, and the second half being very unique and very special that Ive sort of written which is completely original. On the album, Grande co wrote six out of the twelve tracks and recorded a number of songs on this album over a three year period. The collaborations are with Big Sean, Mika, and Mac Miller. Occasionally, the album dips into other genres such as adult contemporary music and dance music.
