I'm sure music is more important to some of us than other, but hey, what can I say. As a writer, music is constantly in the background; I'm actually inspired by some artists, and their music really helps me create the tone, atmosphere that I want for my stories.
With that being said, I wanted to do a short little review about Miley Cyrus's new album Bangerz.
Miley has blown up in the media lately due to her newly adopted risque appearance, personal life, and her outrageous VMA performance.
Click this link to see her performance. Just in case you missed it.
With all of that aside, she released her brand spankin' new album on October 4th, 2013.
Overall, it seems the album has received mixed reviews from most big name critics, but let's be honest, do any of us REALLY listen to them?
In my completely unprofessional opinion, Miley's new album is very well put together. It's both fun when it needs to be and completely serious in all the right places.
I'm not going to give a comprehensive review track-by-track (unless you guys and gals want me to); however, I will definitely highlight my favorites (and not so favorites) from the album as a whole.
Right off the bat, the album opens with the heartfelt and powerful, Adore You. It's an honest and true song with powerful vocals to boot.
My personal favorites off the album are as follows:
We Can't Stop
SMS
Wrecking Ball
FU (feat. French Montana)
Do My Thang
Someone Else
FU and Do My Thang feel like songs that are directly sang to us, the listeners. This girl is saying, "Hey, I'm Miley F****** Cyrus. I'm here to stay; I'm going to my thing, while coming in like a wrecking ball."
See what I did there?
Some of the songs that I don't really enjoy are:
Love Money Party
Drive
On My Own
They feel a bit forced to me, as if Miley's not actually trying to make us feel like shes this party girl, but that she just had a little extra room on the album and just shoved a few songs into those spots.
Overall, I really enjoy this album, and I'm more than pleased that I bought it. I'm really digging where her music is going, and there is no denying that this girl has made a place for herself. Let's not forget that while she may surround herself with stuck out tongues, twerking girls, and nudity, but she has vocal talent to boast about.
Go buy the album for yourself!
What did all of you think of the album? As always, I love finding new music, so please feel free to share your suggestions with me!

I actually thoroughly enjoy Love. Money. Party, but I guess that's a personal preference. As for FU, that is by far the best song. Seeing as I went through a pretty bad break-up, it really speaks to me. You don't know how many times I could just punch my ex in the face and say "FU!"
ReplyDeleteGirl, I totally feel you! FU speaks to me haha
