![]() Over a chunky bassline and handclaps, Miley sings about being "completely naked" (hello, "Wrecking Ball!") and "getting married just to cause a distraction." It's the soaring chorus, which is anchored by slick lower harmonies and a rhetorical question, that cements the song as the grown-up version of a Hannah Montana track. Miley is never afraid to get personal and specific on tracks (just listen to last year's "Slide Away"), and on "WTF" she continues that trend. "WTF Do I Know" just maybe the best full-length album opener of the year. Through clear songwriting and incredible vocal performances, Miley shares a part of her soul with us like she's never done before. While some imitated vulnerability better than others, Plastic Hearts is the most genuine Miley has ever been on an album. Every record leading up to Plastic Hearts was a different shade of her. On past records, it felt as if Miley was just scraping the surface of the album she was born to make. With some assistance from Andrew Watt, Mark Ronson, Joan Jett, Billy Idol, and Dua Lipa, Miley has created the most cohesive record of her career so far. On Plastic Hearts, Miley delves into the difficulty of being honest with herself, the intoxicating nature of unhealthy relationships, the art of letting love go, and questions of fame, desire, and mortality. Often songs will condense these complexities into three-minute motivational anthems of triumph. Introduced by the fantastic Stevie Nicks-sampling "Midnight Sky," Plastic Hearts dives headfirst into 80s pop, glam rock, and classic country to deliver a revelatory and honest record about the complexities of deteriorating relationships. It's this voice that grounds Plastic Hearts, her seventh, and best, studio album. Miley's voice has evolved over the years into this relatively deeper combination of rock and country music influences that can still swagger over a Mike Will Made-It beat, soar across the most emotional ballads, and do whatever the hell Miley feels like doing. It's a voice that couldn't run away from country music even if it really wanted to. ![]() That surprisingly mature voice with a gravelly texture that lends itself well to a bit of rasp. The essence of every Miley Cyrus record is her voice. At the core of each record is an artist who is constantly evolving and challenging herself and reshaping her influences into something unique for herself. However, while the branding and overall sound of each record are markedly different from the last, these are all the same Miley. From the controversial hip-hop-influenced Bangerz and the trippy alternative dreamworld of Dead Petz to the country homecoming of Younger Now and the self-assured confidence of She Is Coming, Miley has essentially been a new artist every album. But that barely covers half of her career. From defining a generation with her Hannah Montana albums to delivering pivotal teen pop moments with Breakout and Can't Be Tamed, Miley has been a pop culture and music fixture for her whole life. A shapeshifter in the vein of Madonna, Miley has had countless career reinventions and renaissances. See the very colorful full list below.Miley Cyrus is a marvel. Also joining her on this trip? Brandi Carlile and Sia, according to the tracklist she shared on social media today. It remains to be seen (well, heard) whether she’ll be following her rock muse, going back to “Malibu,” or doing something else entirely here, but she did have a varied slate of collaborators hanging with her: Greg Kurstin, Kid Harpoon, Tyler Johnson, and Bangerz-era producer Mike WiLL Made-It all produced the new record. ![]() JUgcadUiGF- Miley Cyrus January 5, 2023Ĭyrus led off the album with single “Flowers” - on ex Liam Hemsworth’s birthday, no less - after she revealed it during her NBC New Year’s Eve special.
