It may be almost Easter but this is not your standard bunny costume.
Ariana Grande still has the ponytail and certainly still has the voice, but she is not kid anymore.
On
Sunday night, the 22-year-old released a YouTube video of herself
performing her new song Dangerous Woman - sans instruments and any sort
of run of the mill clothing.
Not the Easter bunny: Ariana Grande
released a cappella version of her new song Dangerous Woman on YouTube
on Sunday wearing a sexy and surprising look
For over three minutes the star belts out her new song with nothing but her voice and a bondage-inspired bunny costume.
No doubt a bid to remind fans why they have always loved her, the singing star puts her impressive pipes to good use.
And, thanks
to the black shiny eared mask and ultra-tight outfit, she also goes a
long way to making people forget about her recent scandals - or at least
distracting them long enough to fall in love with her voice again.
The look also helps remind fans that she is a 22-year-old woman and not some teen Disney star - and will behave as such.

Declaring
she is not squeaky clean but is squeaky, in the video the star wows on
the mask which leaves her mouth free to sing but covers the up the top
half of her face.
Complete with giant ears, the mask does have space for her signature ponytail to explode out.
Ariana
- whose costume designer has always incorporated sex shop finds into
the star's look but far less obviously - also wears a matching latex
dress or body suit.

While
the bottom half of the look is not visible in the camera shot, the top
half of the outfit is a cleavage highlighting bodice with a balconette
bra built in and a ruffle on her hips.
Giving
it a little lady-like bling, the singer wears an antique-inspired
diamond necklace which catches the light as she belts out her track.

is the same latex mask which the star rocks on the cover of Dangerous
Woman where she wears it with a more traditional material bodysuit.
Wow factor: While the bottom half of

Just her: In the video, the
22-year-old sings with just a brown background behind her and moves to
match her vocal needs rather than choreographed dance
All by
herself: The only instruments the star has to back her is some air
guitar and air piano, played her herself seemingly unconsciously
Ariana
gave a sneak peek of the cover art last week and since then has posted
teaser shots and videos of herself in the saucy look.
Sultry latex outfits aside, the Bang Bang star wows thanks to her amazing voice which is laid bare in the a cappella track.

Dangerous
Woman was revealed as the name of Ariana's new album last month which,
up until that point, had been known as Moonlight. It is due out May 20.
The
album it is a great start to 2016 after a rather rough 2014 and 2015
that saw Ariana go pop darling to one with a reputation of being a pop
brat and diva.
Not
helping that, was the star's now infamous donut licking video which saw
her and her boyfriend Ricky Alvarez lick some donuts inside a store and
not buy them as the singer declared, she 'hates America'.
