Ariana Grande has released the second single off of her forthcoming new album Sweetener, a collaboration with Nicki Minaj titled "The Light Is Coming." And the sharp, lo-fi track does not disappoint.
Best listened to at full volume in headphones, "The Light Is Coming" is backed by a staccato of percussive electric sounds, with Minaj rapping the opening verse. While it isn't the same kind of dramatic power anthem of "No Tears Left To Cry," the song is a more low-key track that's just as fun, with production from Pharrell.

Sweetener is out August 17 via Republic Records (available for pre-order now), and one of two recent Grande/ Minaj collabs--the latter released "Bed" just days ago, off of her forthcoming new record Queen.
