However, Miley has proven that she’s here for the long haul and earlier this year she finally seemed to discover a direction that might take her back to relevance. Now, I liked it a lot as it happens, but reception was not all that positive, not to mention the tumultuous year Miley had in 2019 (including not only her divorce but her house burning down), and in the wake of this, it seems She is Miley Cyrus was quietly scrapped. She is Coming was indeed a bold fusion of trap, pop, country, dream pop and hip-house, but the execution was messy, to say the least.

If Miley was to return to the mainstream, she was going to need something bold and in 2019 she announced her forthcoming album She is Miley Cyrus, teasing it with an EP demonstrating her new direction: She is Coming (as it happens, She is Coming was the first piece of music I ever wrote a full review of). Despite the quality of some parts of the album (“Younger Now” and “Malibu” are some of the best songs of Miley’s career), it was an inconsistent release that didn’t have the attention-grabbing spirit of the Bangerz era. She returned to the limelight somewhat with a more tasteful return to country-pop, following the path carved by Lady Gaga’s Joanne on Younger Now.

This reshaping continued with possibly the most anti-commercial move of any artist on her level, her ninety-minute-long dream-pop album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, which had absolutely no appeal to anyone and she gave away for free anyway. Her remodelling as a would-be sex symbol in the early 2010s was divisive, read by some as an attempt to regain autonomy over her life and body from the press (Lady Gaga, “Do What You Want” style) and as others as a shameless attempt to be shocking while pandering to the male gaze (thanks Robin Thicke, God music in 2013 was nuts!). The daughter of country-pop royalty (or perhaps jester would be a better word), she found fame at a young age as a teen idol and TV actor, before incensing the world by going through puberty and discovering sex. Perhaps no mainstream pop artist of recent years has had a more chequered journey to their destination than Miley Cyrus.
