Most recently on the market for young girls is Miley Cyrus's possibly long awaited new album.
"Breakout", i wouldn't know, since i haven't been eagerly awaiting it....but
In this album, she veers from the "Hannah/Miley" aspect, and declares her independence, with the exception of a remix of "See you again", a "Hannah/Miley" song, with many new songs, here in my review, i am going to look at the songs that most stuck out in my mind...
-"Breakout" her title of the cd, and the first song, first says "... Every weeks the same Stuck in school so lame My parents say that i'm lazy Getting up at 8 is crazy...", hey guess what Miley, most of us public schoolers got up at 5:30-6am, so guess what?? Your life is not sooo hard. Then also she says many times, in the chorus, "... Were gonna Breakout Let the party start Were gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts..." gonna break some hearts?? Okay she is what 16?? Talking about breaking hearts for fun?? Uh no, not what you want your middle-schooler listening to. Plus, in about every song about partying, she says, something like "we're gonna lose control", but you know, thats not always so great,
-"7 things", Her most recent chart topper, a song which may be confusing the first time through, because she talks about 6 things she doesn't like, and then the 7th is that "you make me love you", which she doesn't feel is so bad, at the end of the song, the chorus changes to "...7 things i like about you...", and she repeats the second part of the original chorus, with "...you make me laugh, you make me cry...", then the part about how he makes her love him, but most scary is in the music video, all the young girls singing with her about their ex-boyfriends, all of them look under 12, girls that young should defiantly not be in a relationship like that, especially coming from Christian homes,
-"Wake up America", is mostly centered on Global Warming, and how we need to listen and take care of our earth, which i can't totally argue with, don't make extra trash or waste gas, but you don't need solar panels in your roof to save energy, but she also says "... I know that you don't want to hear it, Especially coming from someone so young...", because you might get offended when she, who is only 16, starts to rant and rave about how she CAN afford solar panels in her roof, and even on her car/RV roof, and buys green credits or whatever, but ya know, not all of us pull in $5,000 a week Miley, soorry. Then at the end she says, "... But in the backseat, yea, they want to hear it (yeah you wanna hear it) So come on, turn it up Come on, turn it up So come on (turn it up)..."
so yeah, i am slightly agitated at this song...
-"Girls Just wanna have Fun", if you didn't know, this was originally sung by Cindi Lauper, and Miley's remake is ok, still is slightly edgy in that, the phrase, "girls just wanna have fun" sounds wrong for girls under 21-ish, to be singing, and still sounds slightly sped up in the beginning. But all in all, i see no reason for her to do this song, when her "G.N.O." was quite enough... I don't know about you, but i am tired of her slight repetitiveness, and poppy/teeny-bopper sound, so this cd is slightly refreshing, but still, be cautious of your kids.
i give it 4.5 stars out of 10
enjoying at times, but still slightly boring.
