![]() Cyrus on her shift in musical direction since Younger Now (2017) įeeling distant from the mainstream urban culture she explored on Bangerz (2013) and the musical experimentalism of Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015), Cyrus decided to go for "rootsy" country music elements while making her sixth studio album Younger Now (2017). " was obviously a little bit more country influenced, but I still really love pop music and I love music that can be played at the club." Three singles were released from the album, " Midnight Sky", " Prisoner", and " Angels like You". Plastic Hearts debuted at number one on the US Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and number two on the Billboard 200 and received positive reviews from music critics. ![]() Guest vocals include Dua Lipa, Billy Idol, Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks. Most of the album was produced by Andrew Watt and Louis Bell, with further collaboration with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. Marking a departure from Cyrus' previous releases, Plastic Hearts is primarily a rock, pop, synth-pop, and glam rock record, with influences from country, punk rock, new wave, arena rock, industrial, disco, and power pop. It was released on November 27, 2020, by RCA Records, and was her final album with the label she signed with Columbia Records in early 2021. She has a glamorous but tough look, with a blond mullet and multiple tattoos that could have her fitting in at biker bars as much as awards ceremonies. Yet this journey into classic rock never quite gets there.Plastic Hearts is the seventh studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus. She has a fantastically throaty, weathered vocal style. ![]() "On the face of it, Miley Cyrus is the perfect rocker. It isn’t a bad album but it’s far less interesting and more straightforward than the artist who made it." The Times (of London) "Listening to 'Plastic Heart,' it’s hard not to suspect a sense of compromise: attempting to corral Cyrus’s diverse interests into something with obvious commercial appeal to avoid the muted sales of 2017’s 'Younger Now,' which failed to convince pop fans or lure in the traditional country crowd. Fortunately, ‘Plastic Hearts’ possesses infinitely more grit – and, crucially, a freewheeling sense of fun." While 2017 album ‘Younger Now’ found her heading out with a similar mission in mind, the brief didn’t quite come to fruition there was newfound maturity on show, but not as much country-and-Western swagger. "With album seven, Miley Cyrus attempts to meld together her innate knack for truly enormous pop bangers (see: 'Wrecking Ball’, Party in the U.S.A’, ‘We Can’t Stop’) together with a love of rock’n’roll and country music, which has thus far not been hugely evident on her previous releases. Across 15 tracks, the singer, 28, embraces being utterly unapologetic and secures her place among rock royalty thanks to collaborations with the legendary Billy Idol, Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks." NME But this is the record that she was born to make. Yes, it gave us hit ('We Can’t Stop') after hit 'Wrecking Ball') after hit ('Adore You'). Sure, 2013’s 'Bangerz' was a cultural reset. "'Plastic Hearts' is Miley Cyrus at her best. ![]() It’s basically a truckload of fun with added blood and guts, driven by Cyrus’s reckless, open-throated, soul-bearing charisma." Us Weekly "From start to finish, Plastic Hearts dresses catchy, Eighties-indebted pop melodies in rock’s studded leather, lets them spin a few wheelies and max out the speedo. Here are some excerpts from noteworthy reviews, starting off with those praising "Plastic Hearts." The Independent She continued, "And she's just so down to earth and chill, so we get on really well in just everyday setting."Ĭritical reviews of the album have been a bit more divided. It all felt like it just fitted like a jigsaw puzzle." "Especially with something like "Prisoner," which feels like such a perfect combination of both our styles and where we are stylistically at the moment. I think we allow space for ourselves to really bloom, and then when we come together, it makes magic," she said. ![]() "It's always fun to collaborate with someone who's so fun and charismatic and knows exactly what she wants. In an interview with USA TODAY earlier this month, Lipa, a pop artist, talked about the experience with Cyrus. In addition to the music legends, she also had a younger musical collaborator in Dua Lipa on track "Prisoner." The singer's seventh album, "Plastic Hearts" (out Friday), is a rock-filled project with star-studded collaborations including Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and Billy Idol.
