“Problem” exploded upon its release last April, blasting into the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart and sitting at the No. 2 spot (behind Iggy Azalea’s mega-hit “Fancy”) for weeks on end. Grande has performed “Problem” at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards and Radio Disney Music Awards, and just as importantly, the song’s blend of fluttery singing, unchained horns, hard-nosed rapping and a whispered chorus has been dominating Top 40 radio for months.
Meanwhile, “Break Free” pushes Grande’s R&B sound in a completely different direction: with a massive hook and a propulsive beat, the new single finds Zedd once again pairing up with a female vocalist and for a dance floor stunner. The new single made its premiere during MTV’s “Total Ariana Live” special on Wednesday night, and the song may be given the awards show treatment when Grande performs at the Video Music Awards later this summer.
