Sounds like Malibu is going to be really good.
Re: her open mouth insert foot moment, I can't even bring myself to be annoyed. I agree with Coco she is not the first and won't be the last person to use hip-hop culture for a come up.
I don't even consider it 'fraudulent,' per se. It was just the kind of thoughtlessness that can only come when when you've grown up fairly privileged and never once had to be confronted on your perspective on things. That's how a lot of people stay ignorant.
I mean let's be real, the only time Miley has ever truly been challenged on her eternally problematic status is from Nicki, and Nicki was so full of shit in that particular moment we could not even take that calling out seriously. There's no reason for Miley to ever find herself in the vicinity of someone who could or would break things down for her properly and thoroughly. Her circles probably don't overlap with the 'woke' crowd. And that includes all the black producers she just summarily shat on.

Preview of Malibu and it's music video featured in her Billboard Music Awards promo video Sounds fantastic - exactly what I want from her at this point.

I always forget that journalists are looking for controversy and sound bytes. That said, actions speak louder than words so I will be watching Miley. Yeah, publications are only looking to sell advertising and get clicks. That's it. MC is one of the artists guaranteed to draw traffic.

Upon initial listen, I liked it. Upon my third, I love it. It's a simple song but her voice and the honesty I hear when she sings the lyrics really stand out. I think she's a highly underrated vocalist and this is coming from someone who isn't a stan. TBH, this was what I wished Gaga had done for the Joanne era instead of the Illusion mess. Hope this does wel!

Surprised how inactive this thread is. Miley premiered a new song this morning on The Today Show called "Inspired." Also, here's "Malibu" at the Billboard Music Awards, The Voice, Elvis Duran, The Today Show, and Wango Tango. Here is here full Wango Tango performance. She also performed "Jolene" and "We Can't Stop" this morning on The Today Show. (And surprise, surprise, her sister, Noah, was also on The Today Show this morning to premiere her new track, "I'm Stuck.")

I think I came to terms with her faux hip hop trend jumping ass the first time so because I knew she was a fraud then it doesn't make me pissed of now. Having said that she ain't the first white girl who uses the culture and discards it when appropriate for themselves. I agree I never saw her as really being into hip hop either, but it's not just about hip hop really to me. It's all of it. Miley Cyrus spent years telling everyone that the wholesome Hannah Montana thing was not "really" her, that deep down inside she was the hyper-sexual free love wild child, who rejected all kind of sexual and gender norms, who was a "freak" who championed other "freaks". She was all about the marginalized, the oppressed, and people who were in your face about the fact they they were not "respectable" by society's standards. To me, she was grabbing on to not just hip hop, but the whole queer sexuality, counter culture movements, and even drug cultures. Anything that was unabashedly outside societal expectations. Only for her, 10 seconds later, to jump right back into a heteronormative respectable good girl box. Because... Liam? Okay I guess? I'm not supposed to see the whole thing as an act to sell records? Wearing white and playing with puppies on the beach? WTF. LOL. I guess tween star types have been doing some version of that forever but now the whole pansexual thing feels like it was an act. And now all those people she championed just got forgotten about, because she's "evolved". I don't think I'll ever believe anything she says ever again. She'll do anything for fame and attention. It's a shame because she does have talent. But, mainstream culture will forgive her anything so she'll be fine, she doesn't need my respect.

^ hunni she lost my respect even before this "transformation" she lost me when she came for my qween
""I've never really been a fan, because it's so much about Mariah Carey," Cyrus told the publication in her October 2016 cover story. "That's part of her shtick; I can see through that. That's part of what makes her a gay icon; like, it's about Mimi! It's about what she's wearing, and it's about her. What I make isn't about me. It's about sharing my story; it's about someone being connected to what I'm saying."

I have very mixed feelings about this sonic transformation and do not disagree with those who are critical and cynical about the way she appropriated and then abandoned her hip hop sound...but at the same time I'm enjoying hearing just her voice. I'm not sure I've ever given it enough credit for its quality and uniqueness. The new song isn't doing much for me, but might be a strong track that I'll enjoy more in the context of a whole album.

I've realized recently how similar her and Ivanka Trump's speaking voices are.

Love the album cover. I'm not sure if it was already posted, but the pre-order also revealed the tracklist:
1. Younger Now 2. Malibu 3. Rainbowland (feat. Dolly Parton) 4. Week Without You 5. Miss You so Much 6. I Would Die for You 7. Thinkin' 8. Bad Mood 9. Love Someone 10. She's Not Him 11. Inspired
Anyone else cackling at "Rainbowland" featuring Dolly Parton?

I'm loving ALL of this and this era. The video reminds me of Madonnas Music era. My only worry is that it may clash with Kesha's current output. They both feel very similar but very refreshing.

It feels like Kesha's trumped her, right down to the Dolly feature. Timing counts.

Not even the uncensored shots of her peeing in a parking lot that my friend traumatized me with earlier can detract from how much I'm loving Younger Now. I hope her and Oren have more records in that vein on the album.

I'm not sure which material I prefer (potentially Miley's, although Praying is excellent), but it does feel like Miley has been beaten to it. Not to say two people can't release similarly themed albums, of course they can, it just feels like too much of an overlap.

There is no competition between the two. Malibu was a Top 10 Billboard hit.

I'm looking forward to this album. "Malibu" was amazing, and I'm really feeling "Younger Now".
