“Bad Karma” with Joan Jett is another slick killer the understated production is a total tease courtesy of Mark Ronson, who also produced “High” and has collaborated with Miley in the past. Lead single “Midnight Sky” is possibly the most badass Miley’s ever sounded, her throttling mezzo-soprano redlining as it nearly burns out. The album roller-coasters from channeling the mid-aughts angst in an Ashlee Simpson single, to digging into Autoamerican-era Blondie, to spiraling down into the raw power of a Meat Loaf ballad - in the first three songs. It’s part lip service, part sincere commitment, and part slam-dunk. The ‘CENSORED’ t-shirt, the sexy mullet, the ultimate diva move of jewelry over black gloves they all form a grand paean to the late ‘70s by a randy, rowdy, Millennial fan. The Plastic Hearts album cover, lensed by the legendary rock ‘n roll photographer Mick Rock (famous for his spreads of Syd Barrett, Debbie Harry, and more), cements its motives with editing - the album appears as a classic vinyl you’d find in your favorite record store, somehow still wrapped loosely in cellophane after all these years). She commands a towering presence in the studio, and a genre as ball-busting and irreverent as this centers her in a lane where she can finally take the reins and run off. It conveys pangs of heartbreak, anger, or complicated love in waters much deeper than those her peers navigate. The instant takeaway from Plastic Hearts, Miley Cyrus’ toe-dip into the dark arts of Rock ‘N Roll, is that her voice has always been the key to her individuality. Through this album, Cyrus explores her vulnerability with heartbreak and divorce while embracing self-love and acceptance, and this level of authenticity is really anyone can ask for from an artist like her.įor more information and updates on Miley, check out her official website.Miley Cyrus – ‘Plastic Hearts’ Album Review The album delivers to the mainstream pop audience and continues to land on the Billboard Hot 100, proving that Endless Summer Vacation is here to stay with Cyrus and her listeners. Even with the album being mostly about the trials and triumphs of dealing with failed relationships and personal desires – something that is so incredibly vulnerable of Cyrus to lyricize and sing about – there were still moments where the album felt like it was missing something. The promise of the album of embracing an endless summer with Sundazed parties and loose vibes was not entirely met with this album– instead, the album felt like the moment when the party has ended and everyone sits down and reflects on the night. While the album feels incredibly cohesive and plays with the wild and soft side of Cyrus’s love life, this album felt almost too safe compared to what Cyrus is capable of. And Cyrus’s ability to write about the duality of failures committed by both sides of a relationship was incredibly powerful, and easily became favorites of the album. While “Jaded” was a smooth pop-punk song all about regret and missed opportunities in a relationship, “Muddy Feet” is all about hating on someone who cheated on you and wreaking complete havoc. Sia)” resembled the sounds and edginess of Plastic Hearts the best. With the success of this song being astronomical, listeners were more than ready to dive into an endless summer vacation with Cyrus. With lyrics of “I can hold my own hand” and “I can love myself better than you can,” “Flowers” highlights the independence and power in recognizing that you don’t need a plus one to feel complete– something that Cyrus grapples with throughout the new album. A post shared by Miley Cyrus strong with the only lead and pre-released single “Flowers,” this disco-infused and self-love anthem broke Spotify streaming records by becoming the record holder for the most streamed song in seven days and stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks straight.
