It’s the perfect song for Miley to The Climb to the top.
Mark Ronson was obviously diddling “Jolene” on his guitar, wishing for a drum machine.
Smiley has won us back by chilling the hell out over the last few years. Ditching dredlock-wigs and joint-dildo-unicorns or whatever was a great start. She wanted us to forget about her Disney Channel roots. Taken a little too far, but mission accomplished.
Bangerz gave us bangers. Younger Now (Yawner Now) was tame. Miley Cyrus Can’t Be Tamed! But you get too weird, Miley!
Being a judge on The Voice, etc. is proving to be part of the gig for staying relevant nowadays. At least the judges can scope out their competition before they get Kelly Clarkson-ed.
Collaborating with Mark Ronson seems like a healthier relationship than with The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne. Make friends your own age, Wayne! You too, Mark! If you made Amy Winehouse a star, you must be on to your second act!
“Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” sounds like a track Hannah Montana would make in 2018. It is the same sound that Taylor Swift would have ended up with if she continued in country music. Taylor’s Reputation seems to be doing fine for the moment, but “Nothing Breaks” could have been hers.
Hannah, eh hem, Miley, eh hem, Mark Ronson saw that vacancy for neo-country-pop, and selected Miley Cyrus to be his vessel. He had similar foresight into neo-funk-pop in 2015, with “Uptown Funk.”
The Game of Pop Thrones continues to unfold as we begin our departure from the 2010s. Will our hindsight be 2020? Will Smiley Smilerus make more strides as America’s darling?
Plus now that Nicki Minaj has been dethroned this year by Cardi B, there is no one to say otherwise. What’s good, Miley? </3
