After peaking at No.1 on iTunes Philippines
with her first single “Midnight Sky” and revamping the ‘80s discotheque with
her Dua Lipa-assisted jam “Prisoner,” pop trailblazer Miley Cyrus makes an
explosive return with the release of her highly anticipated new album, Plastic
Hearts, out now via RCA Records.
Miley’s seventh studio album features
collaborations with Billy Idol, Joan Jett and Dua Lipa. In a handwritten letter
about the new album, Miley recalls that she began writing the album over two
years ago.
“Thought I had it all figured out,” she
wrote. “Not just the record—its songs/sounds but my whole fucking life. No one
checks an ego like life itself. Just when I thought the body of work was
finished it was all erased, including most of the music’s relevance because
everything had changed.”
Built around retro-inspired bangers and
thumping stadium anthems, Miley’s new sound gives listeners a renewed sense of
appreciation for music made in the ‘70s and ‘80s, as seen in her cover art,
which was photographed by iconic rock & roll photographer Mick Rock. Rock
adds Miley into the list of artists and legends that he has photographed over
the years, including David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett, and Debbie
Harry.
So far, Miley has released two singles from
the album: “Prisoner”
feat. Dua Lipa, which was accompanied by a shamelessly campy rock video
featuring the dynamic duo, and directed by Alana Oherlihy and Miley, plus
Miley's summer hit, "Midnight
Sky."
