‘Plastic Hearts’
Miley’s new album “Plastic Hearts” is pretty good. It’s got big 80s-rock vibes, and while it’s definitely a new arena for Miley, it still sounds like her. A lot of the songs are rather vulnerable and a little dark, I hope Miley is in a good mental place.
In my opinion, the best tracks are “Plastic Hearts”, “High”, “Angels Like You”, “Golden G String”, and “Hate Me”. I think a couple of them may have the staying power to become truly iconic songs that people will love decades from now, like so many songs from the 80s are. It was really cool that she worked with iconic rockstars for some of the songs too: Joan Jett and Billy Idol made for good collaborators.

The more I listen to this album, the more it strikes me that maybe this isn’t an entirely new sound for Miley. It actually reminds me a lot of what a more mature Hannah Montana might sound like. I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all.
