    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.

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

    Younger Now, the album, is a musical masterpiece. I don't use such an appellation lightly. Consisting of 11 simple songs, Miley collaborated with the musical polymath, Oren Yoel, who was the producer and instrumentalist on the album. Miley performed all of the vocals on ten of the songs, including the back-up vocals, as she nearly always does. Miley wrote all the lyrics herself exceptYounger Now, the album, is a musical masterpiece. I don't use such an appellation lightly. Consisting of 11 simple songs, Miley collaborated with the musical polymath, Oren Yoel, who was the producer and instrumentalist on the album. Miley performed all of the vocals on ten of the songs, including the back-up vocals, as she nearly always does. Miley wrote all the lyrics herself except for "Rainbowland," where she collaborated on both the writing and singing with her Godmother and country legend, Dolly Parton. Miley has given various explanations for the overarching theme of the album, including--as I said before-- getting in touch with one's inner child, the freedom before the onset of late-teen and early-adult angst. Another is that she sees some of it as speaking out against ageism and division, and with the hope of bringing people together. This is quite consistent with some remarks she's made on the political front ... seeking to unify through music, notwithstanding differences in opinions. she is pathologically authentic and preternaturally nice, wanting as much as anything to be liked by all and to like them in return.

    Some of the album shows anger or emotional turmoil resulting from episodes in Miley's life ... and in at least in one case, in the life of a friend. Listening closely, one will find influences of multiple genres throughout the album, but I think it can best be described as more classical, early rock or rockabilly in terms of overall orientation. To be sure, there are big strains of country ... but also hip hop, pop-rock, psychedelic, EDM, and alternative ... But it's Miley Cyrus most of all. That's important; and it's also the "beauty part," as old timers in New York are wont to say. It has her sometimes idiosyncratic idiom, her Tennessee twang, and, characteristically, it's also part autobiography. It also has the infectious punctuations ... the yeahs, and the ohs, and the guttural exclamations, breaks, and hiccups that characterize her vocals. One of the things that makes her music outstanding to me is that I can listen to it over long periods. There are other great vocalists and artists that I can listen to, but usually for only a few songs before I need something else. Miley, like only a handful of others, is someone I can listen to for hours at a time without a break. This album makes one want to drive and drive in the car, like the old days with my eight track ... not stopping til it's over, going around the block just one more time until it is and before pulling into the garage.

    The overarching theme of the album is surely autobiographical ... and if it is not in completely accurate in its details, I suspect it depicts real emotions about real events, and it's intended to evince and evoke those feelings. It is mostly old fashioned countrified rock n roll (which, after all, is rooted in rhythm and blues, Gospel, and country), though filtered through the lens of some modern electronic wizardry, and with hints of hip hop and other genres throughout. It also puts the lie to the notion that she abandoned hip hop, by the way, which she neither said nor did , but was falsely accused of doing. She abandoned misogyny and objectification, and as a husband, brother, son, and the father of a girl, I am grateful for that. While I have my favorites, and some pieces are better than others, it is as perfect as an album can be. Pertinent, authentic, and often enough, simply riveting.

    Here's the thing, folks. Miley Ray Cyrus is a formidable artist, one for this era and for eras to come. Elvis is one of her musical heroes, and one can feel his influence throughout in the way she attacks the vocals and the visuals on video and stage. I venture to say she is the natural heir to Elvis in presentation, perhaps more than any other artist in recent memory, and maybe ever. No male has pulled it off as well ... The King's chemistry is hard to describe, but there's a lot of it in this small package. One of my friends referred to her as the musical lovechild of Elvis and Madonna. That seems quite apt to me. Lyrically, however, she has more in common with Lennon and Dylan. She has Elvis-like intonations and the charisma and revolutionary spirit of both Elvis and Madonna, who, I might add, were both castigated for a variety of reasons in their day, too, for not being good musically to being merely prurient. Those sages are dead and forgotten. Elvis and Madonna are secure. I keep repeating this, but Miley Cyrus is only 24! It is easy to forget how young she is given that she's been a public figure for a decade. But she came into her own just a few years ago. Lennon and McCartney were several years older when Sgt. Pepper's was released    … Expand

    From its brilliant lyrics to the catchy sounds and great production, this is probably the best album of her carreer. Miley shows us again how versatile an artist she is and how she's not afraid to try new styles. She's definitely setting herself as one of the most legendary artists of our generation.

    Definitely one of Cyrus' best albums, it has incredibly beautiful lyrics and I enjoyed the different sounds of each track so much. It is very refreshing to listen to, some of the songs would be perfect for a soundtrack, or for a long ride. I just loved the album and its been on repeat ever since i bought it

Miley depositou toda sua dedicação nesse álbum, ela mesma compôs e produziu junto com o Oren Yoel e é isso que há de mais valioso, criar canções maravilhosas para rejuvenescer e se conectar com os fãs. O que eu posso fazer apenas é divulgar e enaltecer esse álbum maravilhoso e com canções que mudaram minha vida, Inspired é uma delas.

    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.
