A little overshadowed by Bangerz’s big-hitting singles, Drive nevertheless epitomises the album’s cocktail of traditionalism stirred with ultra-modernity, effectively welding a power ballad to dubstep-influenced electronic bass. But there’s more to it than simply co-opting a hip sound: the music’s punishing relentlessness smartly mirrors the lyrics...
Miley Cyrus’s sixth album Younger Now was a reassuring return to more straightforward music after the fan-scaring experimentation of 2015’s Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz. Bad Mood broods both lyrically – on the patriarchy – and musically: there’s a vague hint of Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk about the rhythm track; it never explodes into the cathartic chorus ...
A record-breaking hit single that wilfully tapped into the public’s prurient interest in Cyrus’s private life, Flowers is more subtle than the speculation around its inspiration suggested: compare its relatively subdued approach to self-reliance to that of the song that audibly inspired it, Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive.
Behind the lo-fi production of Miley Cyrus& Her Dead Petz lurked some genuinely fantastic songs: if the ballad Something About Space Dude had been arranged differently – losing the weird synth tones and ensuring the guitar was in tune – it could have made it on to one of Cyrus’s less demanding albums: as it is, it’s got a stoned charm of its own.
Can’t Be Tamed was an album that pointed towards Cyrus’s future, reshaping her image and eschewing the sound that had made her a Disney star in favour of electronic dance-pop. Who Owns My Heart is a little cuter than the music she would go on to make, but there’s something beguiling about its fizzy depthlessness.
Plastic Heartscame in a cover inspired by punky US shock-rockers the Plasmatics (compare the title font to their logo) but the influence of Wendy O Williams and co didn’t extend to its contents: Angels Like You goes for the big lighters-out ballad jugular with style, the throatiness of Cyrus’s vocal adding a hint of rawness.
Pharrell Williams comes up with an appealingly off-beam production – trebly guitars pitched between funk and new wave scratchiness, cheap-sounding synth, whistling – and a song that seems to underline Cyrus’s transformation from Hannah Montana to weed-smoking, twerking purveyor of more adult concerns with an irresistible breeziness: “I feel like I ...
A soft launch for the rejuvenated Bangerz album, opening track Adore You is miles away from the noisy, electronic, rapper-featuring, how-do-you-like-me-now? mood struck by the rest of its contents: a lovesick ballad with tasteful orchestration, it works for the prosaic reason that it’s a really, really well-turned song.
Inspired in equal parts by pop-punk and Natalie Imbruglia’s Torn, 7 Things’ video featured teens hugging cuddly toys and lip-syncing the lyrics. But you might have guessed that Cyrus was cut out for more than kids’ TV fame: 7 Things is a superior example of pop songcraft; moreover she sells it with an intensity and professionalism beyond her years.
Cyrus went so far out of her way to dismantle her initial image, it’s easy to overlook the music she made when she was still best known as Hannah Montana, but, as the Strokes-y guitar chug and taut, clipped synths of See You Again proves, it was frequently a distinct cut above will-this-do? kid fodder.
