With Miley Cyrus’ new album, “Younger Now” debuting tomorrow, September 19th 2017, I thought I would write a review on her album release promotion. Her lead single “Malibu” dropped May 11th, 2017- and basically made everyone’s day. The song was summer at heart and made everyone happy to see Miley in such a good place. Even though it was entirely different from “Bangerz” which was released October 4th 2013, and very very different from her creative project and fan dedicated, “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz” which was released on, August 30th, 2015– her new era has only brought more joy. Whenever Miley Cyrus goes through a phase of self-expression it is always over the top and very experimental but she tones it down for her recent tracks on “Younger Now.” But even though you might not have liked how she acted publically when she was promoting “Bangerz” no one could dismiss the fact that her music has always been phenomenal. “Wrecking Ball” was a lyrical masterpiece over a soaring musical track that has almost a billion views on YouTube. Her album “Dead Petz” might have silly lyrics, like in “Pablow the Blowfish” where she gets teary-eyed over her dead fish, but she still has a distinct vision, including standout tracks like, “Karen Don’t be Sad,” “The Floyd Song (Sunrise)” and “1 Sun.” Even if some of the public made fun of her antics, no one was making fun of her voice, musical range, and songwriting ability.
The promotion for this album was incredible. By releasing “Malibu” in May it made everyone excited for the summer. It really did seem like love was in the air, and that carried with the listeners. I don’t know about you, but I think Miley Cyrus contributed to my amazing mood all throughout May. She didn’t release an album date for a while, but this made the publicity for the song even rise. During the time of the ManChester shooting at Ariana Grande’s concert, Miley released the song, “Inspired”- a hippy love child of a song which preaches about love and not war. Miley is using her voice for good and to send a message of peace in such a chaotic time in history, and not only is she singing about it, she feels it too.
On “Younger Now” we get a look into who Miley Cyrus has grown into, and no one is complaining. Although tracks like “Malibu” and “Younger Now” don’t have the crazy element like we are used to, they make up for it by just being plain fun, and also extremely well done. Her recent release is entitled, “Week Without You” and it blew me away. The soft sway of the song with a simple chorus coupled with powerful vocals and amazing lyrical content had my jaw dropped. She sings, “If I spent a week without you, Bet you’d wonder what I’d do, I think that I’d start goin’ out, Get caught kissin’ other dudes, And it seems you just want to bring me down, down, With your bad attitude (bad attitude), When you know I’m not one to keep dealin’ with the shit, That you put me through.” It doesn’t sound quite pop but it also doesn’t sound quite country. I would say that there are definitely Amy Winehouse influences in the song. In “Week Without You” you can actually feel how much she doesn’t care about her love interest since it is messing with her vibe, which she holds very true to her heart. This song marks the beginning of an era. Miley Cyrus is not a one trick pony and can do any genre of music due to her musical range.
Since she was doing something so entirely different with her sound and look, people are willing to click and check it out, and it did deliver. The second single “Younger Now” really gives an actual look at what the album will contain. The music video is a beautiful tribute to Elvis and has really creative elements to it with the addition of the older people dressing up and going out. Also at the end, the choreography was really well done and almost seemed childish with a grown-up spin. And if you thought that there wouldn’t be a Miley Cyrus music video without her grabbing her boobs- you were also wrong. Miley Cyrus is truly taking back pop music and all artists should be scared because this album will cement her name as an icon- as if she already wasn’t.
