Ariana Grande Unveils Deluxe Edition of *Eternal Sunshine* Alongside New Short Film
Ariana Grande has officially launched the deluxe edition of her 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine, complete with a captivating short film titled Brighter Days Ahead, released on Friday. This exciting combination is sure to delight her fans and music enthusiasts alike.
Short Film Overview
The short film serves as a narrative continuation of Grande’s previous work, connecting 70 years after the events depicted in her music video for “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).” In the original video, Grande portrays a character named Peaches—a young woman engulfed in sorrow, seeking solace at a clinic called Brighter Days Inc., where she intends to erase the memories of a lost relationship (featuring Evan Peters).
Fast forward to Brighter Days Ahead, where Grande steps into the shoes of an elderly Peaches, who returns to the same facility to explore a new offering: memory restoration. However, this service comes with a substantial caveat—memories can only be relived briefly before they are permanently erased, as outlined in the film’s promotional materials. The narrative unfolds through a series of poignant clips that reflect on Peaches’ life, including what are believed to be real childhood home videos of Grande.
New Music and Acclaim
The deluxe edition, titled *Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead*, introduces six fresh tracks from the acclaimed singer-songwriter, who has already made waves in the entertainment industry. The original album, released just a year prior, marked Grande’s sixth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and produced two chart-topping singles—”Yes, And?” and “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” —on the Hot 100 chart.
