When she was 16, MileyCyrus released Breakout and it might still be her best album (critic's take)

Miley Cyrus attends 2009 VH1 Divas at Brooklyn Academy of Music on Sept. 17, 2009 in New York City.. Poised to release her sixth full-length,, at the end of this week -- after multiple changes of musical identity at just 24 -- she hasn’t necessarily made her best albums during the height of her making headlines.of course, the hit 2013 hodgepodge that spawned her biggest smashes and made everyone uncomfortable at the same time.

The person who Miley Cyrus is may actually work best with good old Wonder Bread pop-rock tunes, as her pair of beauteous new singles, “Younger Now” and “Malibu,” indicate in their blessedly beige way. Someday she’ll likely write a powerful statement as a sex symbol, but 2010’s somewhat awkward “Can’t Be Tamed” wasn't quite there yet. Her biggest song prior to her rebellious period, “Party in the U.S.A.

But “Younger Now” and “Malibu” are her best songs in years, because normalcy comes naturally to her, even as a genderfluid, weed-mainlining provocateur. Cyrus’ robust mezzo-soprano soars past the verses to fill the canyons that the choruses open up, just like good Stevie Nicks anthems, to name but one retro-reference with whom she shares a powerful rasp. The rich harmonies are a generous gift to the current charts.

Nearly a decade ago, “pop-rock” was still a category that an MTV star could be in, though, and Cyrus’ 2008 albumcomes full circle and may give’s final third is a bit too dominated by ballads, but the rest of it is shiny dynamite. The opening title tune is pure exuberance that vows to “dance ‘til the dance floor falls apart” and sets off five flawless exercises in mallrat bubblegum from there.

“Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” is inarguably one of the greatest pop songs even formulated by humans, but do yourself a favor and don’t back-to-back Cyndi Lauper’s beyond-classic original with Cyrus’ full-throttle remake. Faster, more rock’n’roll and amped up with the punch of of the sort of brilliant string stabs that normally raise a disco jam to the sky, Cyrus’ version gives the vocal performance of a lifetime to match.

I think Younger Now is her best album, but Breakout is definitely second.
