    THIS IS AN ALBUM LADIES

    personally, i was ready to cancel my pre order lmao but miley delivered. top to bottom this is an awesome record, and it’s way more alternative than i’d say “country” and i dig it a lot. i can tell miley wrote a lot of these songs from her heart and that’s why i love it so much. i just wish the roll out was better for such a great album. and i honestly think,    THIS IS AN ALBUM LADIES

    i just wish the roll out was better for such a great album. and i honestly think, the wrong singles were chosen - younger now, bad mood and thinkin should’ve been the singles before the album dropped. personally, malibu doesnt capture the feel of the record and younger now opens the album perfectly and explains this whole “change” magnificently and i think if YN was the first song heard w/ the video the era would’ve been handled smoother (by the gp too).

    and also, im curious to see how this’ll do. i know miley will have a #1 record im just curious as to the critical acclaim it’ll get and im sure she’s going to get grammy noms - this is a grammy album. and despite her not making as mainstream music as demi, selena or ariana; miley remains the most creative ex act honestly.    … Expand

    Good job Miley!
    Her best album. Good Lyrics and amazing vocals.
    t's amazing how to properly change this girl, she knows how and when to do it. I'm proud to see how she loves herself. I am also proud to see the art that is possible to do. She has done it again.

    This album is so sweet and genuine. I can still hear some of the songs have connections with the Bangerz and Dead Petz era. Miley always stay true to herself. "No one stays the same". I think this is the perfect theme for the album.

    This is album pure art, Miley is back with an album completely different but still she done very well, Love Someone, Thinking and Bad Mood are the best songs, Rainbowland is a really good country song n. Younger Now is the best female album of the year with Melodrama

    In "Younger Now," Miley Cyrus was able to put much of her versatility into music. Miley made a quality country with "Miss You So Much", a good POP with "Thinkin" and a duo with country's biggest woman: Dolly Parton.

    This album is pure gold, a potential country record in the ocean of bland pop music industry. Songs suggested; Younger Now, Malibu, Bad Mood, I would die for you and Week Without You.

    Miley ha mostrado que es capaz de hacer música sola, cada canción está dentro del album con un propósito, la cruda voz de Miley hace especial cada género musical en el que ella quiera incursionar.

    AMAZING ALBUM. This is so original and I'm so proud that Miley wrote this entire album alone!! Miley NEVER dissapoints. This album has some really beautiful songs and other songs that make me wanna dance! Rainbowland and Inspired have messages that we NEED today. She's Not Him is so so so beautiful and spreads lgbtq awareness. I would die for you is a masterpiece lyrically and sonically.AMAZING ALBUM.

    Абсолютно удивлен работой Сайрус! Очень свежее, смешанное звучание придает пластинке особый шарм. Каждый трек по своему интересен. Вот уж действительно, не ожидал от Майли чего то подобного. Очень интересно наблюдать, как она меняется, из альбома в альбом и растет как артист в первую очередь!

    Майли Сайрус решила вернуться к своим корням.

    Отдых в родных краях и воссоидение с Хемсвортом принесли свои плоды, Майли Сайрус представила нам своё «детище» именно так можно охарактеризовать ее новый альбом

    «Younger now». В новом альбоме Майли возвращается к своим корням и звучанию в стиле кантри. И хотя на первый взгляд композиции могут показаться одинаковыми, это не так, скорее весь альбом это одна история, в которой Сайрус поведала нам о себе и свой жизни. Она заявляет всему миру, что она все та же девушка из штата Теннесси, и ее сердце преисполненно любвью ко всему миру. В отличии от предыдущей ее работы (Bangerz) «Younger now» более спокойный, каждая песня индивидуальна по своему, и в каждой чувствуется частичка души Сайрус. Альбом сочетает в себе стиль поп-кантри, кантри, сочетание этих жанров великолепно, но современные исполнители о нем стали забывать, предпочитая ему поп и его производные. Спасибо Майли за проделанную тобой работу, и спасибо что радуешь нас такими душевными песнями.    … Expand

    It's amazing how Miley Cyrus has the gift of doing a great job at any musical pace. Her voice and her compositions on this album show her evolution as an artist and professional, as well as find several references of her career getting to the root. Definitely one of his best albums throughout his career.

    ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF THIS YEAR AND DEFINITELY HER BEST ALBUM!

    What I find the most fascinating about Younger Now is that each song is different and matches with a different genre. There's pop, there's a little bit of rock, there's country, there's folk... And you can actually find a connection to all of the sounds she has ever done (Bangerz, Dead Petz, Breakout...), so I don't get    ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF THIS YEAR AND DEFINITELY HER BEST ALBUM!

And you can actually find a connection to all of the sounds she has ever done (Bangerz, Dead Petz, Breakout...), so I don't get it why some people say that she disowns her previous works...

    Anyways, her vocals are A+, I actually get chills sometimes!! She did what she had to do, like always, and with this 11-track-album she truly showed her versatility. I think that although she still needs to improve a little bit in terms of lyrics, it's a very good thing that this is 100% self-written - it shows who she actually is RIGHT NOW and what she has been through in the latest two years. IT'S GENUINE and it's so so personal that sometimes you feel in her place! Besides all these things, I love that it is not that mainstream - the production, the arrangements, the instruments... Miley and Orel Yoel did an amazing job!

    Personal faves: She's Not Him (her voice is angelic and it hurts - literally), Bad Mood (it could be a huge hit), Malibu (classic already), Week Without You (so fresh!!), Thinkin' (it makes me wanna dance, could be a great single) and I Would Die For You (f* beautiful). OK... I LOVE THEM ALL!!

    Well... it is a masterpiece. I cannot stop listening to it! She just showed she is growing a lot as an artist and that she is here to stay! Give it a shot, without being biased, you won't regret it. To be honest, after listening to this bop, I FEEL SO MUCH YOUNGER NOW!! Hope it gets the recognition it deserves.    … Expand

    Excelente album, una lirica exquisita, con sonidos alejados a lo actual lo cual lo hace aún mejor, simplemente artístico. Miley vuelve a demostrar su potente & versatil voz. Si eres amante de la buena música sin duda es un album que no debes dejar pasar. Hay que enfocarse en la música del artista & no en su vida personal. Excelente, bien trabajado, de los mejores albumes de este año.

    This is a thumpingly disappointing and consistently milquetoast set of songs riddled with lyrical banality, done-to-death melodies and wispily thin production.

    Where her past albums felt messy but painfully sincere, Younger Now comes off as safe and overly sanitized, with the frisson that made Cyrus a star all but entirely blasted away. ... Still, the album has some plainly good songs.
