Much of this album was shaped by Cyrus’ divorce from Liam Hemsworth in early 2020, as well as the loss of her house in a California Wildfire and her struggles with substance addiction. This new Rock ‘N’ Roll edge really compliments her low,raspy voice. This time, Cyrus is finally embracing her Rock ‘N’ Roll heart. She has explored different genres: “Younger Now” was her country album and “Bangerz” was heavily hip-hop influenced. Every album Cyrus has released has entered her into a different era of her career. I’ve been waiting for Miley to release a rock infused record since she stepped on stage in Sydney that night in 2011 during her Gypsy Heart Tour, and although it took nine years, it was well and truly worth the wait.Miley Cyrus released her seventh studio album last month, called “Plastic Hearts.” Evolving from her roots as “Hannah Montana” on Disney Channel, Miley has made it clear she does not want to be known for being a teen pop princess. It feels like she was meant to be a rock god, with her gritty and lyrical prowess. Seven albums in and Miley has brought a new breath of authenticity to her music. Exploring rock music is not an easy task for someone who was considered a pop-princess during her teenage years, but Cyrus stepped up to the task and delivered one of her best records yet. Cyrus’ influences for the record ranges from Metallica to Britney Spears, showing how the versatile artist isn’t defined by genre. Open and honest, she knows no musical boundary.
She brings all the pain, suffering and guilt that shrouded these events to the collection of songs, offering up a vulnerable examination of her own thoughts and emotions. The deeply considered record is a statement from the singer, shaped by the loss of her home in a California wildfire, and her divorce. The musical chameleon that is Miley Cyrus has delivered a phenomenal and carefully curated body of work. There's also similarities between the song and her 2013 track, Someone Else, with "If you're looking for love know that love don't live here anymore" on the 2013 release and " If you're looking for someone to be all that you need, that'll never be me" on Never Be Me. Both tracks touch comment on the unpredictability of Cyrus' personality with Never Be Me conceptually focusing on a fleeting relationship, much like Angels Like You.
#Plastic hearts album review full
Full of synth melodies and epic drum beats, the track is almost the more emotional, power ballad version of Midnight Sky. Never Be Me is the sonic definition of the 80's. The introspective song leaves the listener pondering the questions Cyrus presents in relation to their own life. It builds to a crescendo, with a heartfelt performance from Cyrus. Sonically, the track is one of the records most interesting. What would her friends do? Would her ex-lover care? She recalls on a previous relationship, knowing the other person has removed her from their thoughts. Something Cyrus does again and again with each release.Ĭyrus wonders what would happen in the wake of her death on Hate Me. Through her collaborations with some of musics greats, and her incredible covers of Blondie’s Heart Of Glass and The Cranberries’ Zombie, Cyrus is exposing her fanbase to some of the greatest artists to shake up the music industry. Both musicians command your attention as they navigate the juxtaposing sides of their psyche. Idol is a punk-rock / disco-rock icon so it only makes sense that he and Cyrus would come together to create what is arguably the best song of 2020. It’s sexy, it’s compelling, it’s hardcore and it’s badass. Miley Cyrus and Billy Idol joining forces is honestly what the world needed. Whilst they explore the hold an ex-lover can have on you, making it hard to leave.
The track features Cyrus' gritty and commanding vocal performance, perfectly complimented by Lipa's smooth vocal. Bringing the 80's disco vibes to 70's rock ’n’ roll heaven, Cyrus teams up with Dua Lipa on Prisoner.
Plastic Hearts has created some of the best collaborations of 2020.
