MILEY. IS. BACK. With her new album Younger Now (which dropped today) on repeat, it honestly feels like I’m reconnecting with the old Miley—the sweet daughter of country singer Billy Ray and the stellar voice behind total gems like “7 Things“ and “The Climb” (ugh, feels). The artist has been MIA since her 2013 album Bangerz,which was a shockingly different sound from the country/pop crossovers she had turned out for years. Suddenly, America’s sweetheart was in the nude, swinging on a wrecking ball and licking a sledgehammer, and I think I speak for all of us when I say: WTF was that?
BUT, I come bearing great news: It seems Cyrus has truly hit her stride with this latest album. Younger Now has 11 songs—one of which features Cyrus’s godmother and country qween Dolly Parton—and every single tune reminds me of Cyrus’s traditional singer-songwriter vibe.
Not only does Miley sound dreamy, but Younger Now is chock full of variety, with the perfect song for any and every activity.
