Moonlight is Ariana Grande's third album. It is set for a late 2015 release (though this has not yet been confirmed). The album was recorded starting in September 2014, though the majority of it was recorded while Ariana was on The Honeymoon Tour in early and mid 2015.

Background & Naming

In the livestream, she said that she wants to release it in late summer or early fall, following in suit to her previous albums.
