Raspy pop singer Miley Cyrus, already famous as a TV actress,
launched her musical career with the trivial pop of
Meet Miley Cyrus (2007), with See You Again,
that began her association with the production duo
Rock Mafia (Tim James and Antonina Armat),
Breakout (2008), with 7 Things,
and Can't Be Tamed (2010).
Hip-hop producer Mike "Will Made It" Williams reinvented her sound on Bangerz (2013), steering her towards hip-hop and neosoul. The hits were
We Can't Stop and especially
Wrecking Ball, the song that proved her vocal skills, crafted by
producers Lukasz "Dr Luke" Gottwald and Henry "Cirkut" Walter in collaboration with an army of songwriters.
The mammoth 23-song double-disc Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) contains
several collaborations with the
Flaming Lips, notably
Karen Don't be Sad, but overall it is incredibly trivial and boring.
Nonetheless, she was one of the most gifted vocalists of her time.
Then came
Younger Now (2017), coproduced with multi-instrumentalist Oren Yoel, with Malibu,
the EP She is Coming (2019), with Mother's Daughter,
and
Plastic Hearts (2020), mostly a nostalgic tribute to 1980s-style synth-pop (Midnight Sky could be a Pet Shop Boys song).
Endless Summer Vacation (2023) contains
Flowers, a cross of
disco-music of the 1970s with
Lady Gaga
and with
Ace Of Base's
Beautiful Life
(composed by seasoned songwriters like Michael Pollack and
produced by Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson).
However, the album occasionally hints at a possible career in
country music (Thousand Miles).
