BIGGEST Songs of the Week š

Miley Cyrus is onto something great⦠or as she puts it, Something Beautiful. That's the name of her upcoming album, set to release on May 30. Cyrus has described the record as āhypnotizing and glamorous.ā āItās a concept album thatās an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music,ā she said in an interview with Harperās Bazaar.
Miley is no stranger to campiness and glamour. She entered the pop culture lexicon as Hannah Montana, a pop star in the namesake Disney Channel show who lived a double life. In order to dirty up her all-American, good-girl image, she took a turn toward the wild side, as many child stars do. This led to her Bangerz era, a string of attention seeking antics that often appropriated hip-hop and Black American culture. There was the infamous MTV VMA performance where she twerked on Robin Thicke, the full-frontal nudity in the āWrecking Ballā video, and much, much more ā all coinciding with the release of Bangerz, her fourth studio album.
