BBC: “Miley Cyrus is the ultimate 21st Century pop star”

From pop-rock to R&B and country-disco, the chameleonic Miley Cyrus has done it all. With single Flowers a huge hit and new album Endless Summer Vacation out today, Nick Levine pays tribute to her shape-shifting abilities.

 

Cyrus's successful shapeshifting reflects not just her own musical versatility, but also the unusually fluid musical era that she is navigating. "Even just a couple of years ago, it might have been [seen as] a bit strange for a big star who is known for one style of music to put out something in another style. But these days, it's pretty commonplace," says McIntyre. Still, he also believes that Cyrus can ride the genre-blurring wave so confidently because she has developed a genuinely distinctive voice. "We recognise her way of writing, whether [she is singing] a rock song, pop song or something else," he says. It would be a little pat to suggest that every pivot she makes can be explained by quoting See You Again's famous lyric: "She's just being Miley." However, 16 years after she branched out from Hannah Montana, there is no denying that Cyrus has built a formidable identity as a true musical chameleon. Whatever lane she decides to drive down next, people will be paying attention.”

 

And they’re right! :coffee2:

She really ignored all the trends and expectations of her, and charted her own course the way she wanted. And now it's paying off in huge dividends :clap3:

There are defintely artists out there bigger than her, but Miley just has this unique and grabbing influence that supercedes her chart performance :clap3:

It’s not even mentioning any number-based figure or statistic, just the artistry, but stay pressed. Miley had at least one memorable and lasting moment with all of her eras regardless how well the album ended up doing. She’s also a mega-star since her debut and will probably never be irrelevant. So yes, the ultimate popstar.

I don’t think it was a stan. The UK and BBC love Miley deep! She gave BBC their most viewed cover and so many iconic moments (No Tears Left To Cry, My Future, Nothing Breaks Like A Heart, Summertime Sadness) and Miley never really underperformed in the UK besides Younger Now (sans Malibu). So it makes sense considering the source.
