Miley cyrus plastic hearts lyrics12/17/2023 ![]() “Thousand Miles” is an interesting song featuring Brandi Carlile, but it would have been more at home on Cyrus’ 2017 record “Younger Now.”Įverything else on the album falls into the trap of mashing Cyrus’ at times too strong vocal performance with weak instrumentation, making her sound out of place on her own songs. “Jaded,” the second song on the album, is clearly meant to be a rock song but is hampered by run-of-the-mill pop production that would be at home on an album by half the artists working today. Cyrus is giving her all to the vocal performances on each song, but her vocals aren’t suited to the production at all. “Flowers” is catchy but hollow, “Island” makes use of my least favorite metaphor in songwriting (something is like an island, how original!), “Wildcard” is forgettable and “Wonder Woman” is a painfully average ballad to close the album on.Īnd the worst part of this whole album is that it could have worked. The worst thing a song can be is offensive, but being boring is a close second. Questionable features and scattered highlights aside, the rest of the album is a disappointment. I avoid supporting artists who condescend to autistic people with little-to-no remorse.Ĭyrus also has a winner in “Rose Colored Lenses,” which gives the album its title in its second verse where Cyrus sings, “Endless summer vacation / Make it last ‘til we die.” The song is laid-back and cool, and its energy perfectly matches the lyrics where Cyrus asks her lover to “stay like this forever.” Sia is featured on the song, though, so I won’t be relistening. I’m also a fan of the aggressive “Muddy Feet.” Cyrus sounds like a mix between a rockstar and a country singer here with shouted vocals on the chorus. It’s upbeat and energetic, and I’m sure it’ll be stuck in my head for weeks. “Handstand” is immediately followed by my favorite song on the album, “River.” I’ve heard a dozen songs just like this, particularly on Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia,” but I love it anyway. It also conjures up some … funky … images with its lyrics, from riders on comets to what I can only assume is something sexual to do with a handstand. “Handstand” is the most unique song on the album, with wacky production and nearly-whispered vocals. For reference, “Flowers” single-handedly peaked at 18.4 million streams in a day, the fourth-highest total of all time behind only “All I Want for Christmas is You,” “Easy on Me” and “Last Christmas.”Īll that being said, there are some bright spots to be found. “Endless Summer Vacation” debuted to just 30 million streams on Spotify on its first day, an abysmal showing given the hype surrounding the first released song. And the irony of it all is that playing it safe doesn’t seem to be paying off beyond the lead single. ![]()
