Miley Cyrus: the "Younger Now" era wasn't as dreamy as it appeared

[Jordan Miller]

Update: Ok, this makes a lot more sense now

Miley says the Younger Now era wasn't as dreamy as it appeared. She's obviously referring to her relationship with Liam.
 

 

Earlier:

It's officially a new era when Miley Cyrus trashes her previous work!

Miley tends to take a dig at her earlier stuff when promoting a new record. I can't explain why she does it, she just does. For instance, she says swinging on the a wrecking ball in the "Wrecking Ball" music video was one of the most embarrassing things she's ever done. 

When she came out with the Younger Now album, she ran with the idea that ~this was the real her.~

Miley's singing a different tune now that "Midnight Sky" is slaying. 

"When I look at my career... there was really only a two-year or one-year period that doesn't really make sense. It has to do with that Younger Now, "Malibu" era. I think what happened with that, which does happen to a lot of people, and it's not to villainize  the partner, but you lose yourself in someone else some times."

To be honest, I can see where she's coming from. She always seems more comfortable being raunchy and wild versus pulled back. I guess I'm just not a big fan of artists casting shade on their earlier works because there are fans out there that truly love Younger Now. And now they're probably like 

Also, it's worth pointing out she was "over" Younger Now while "Malibu" was out. 

“I’m already working on the next [record]. I’m already two songs deep on the next one,” she said at the time. “I’m over this now. I want to figure out what I want to do next. Hopefully I can take some time — chill with the dogs, hand with the pigs a little bit more, take some time off. But just keep writing.”

Thoughts on Miley's new stance, Exhale?

In the light of ‘Midnight Sky’ being released, I revisited her former tunes. ‘Younger Now’ the song is vibey and pretty good in my opinion. There are many songs in ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ that are awesome as well: ‘Stay’, ‘Two More Lonely People’, ‘Liberty Walk’. ‘When I Look at You’ is a gem, too. While I like it, ‘Bangerz’ is the era I go back to the least. 
Anyway, I find it soooo annoying when artists diss their own work. 

[RadicalOptimism]

That Joe Dirt look you got going on right now makes no sense in your career Miley boo, but the song at least bops so you good 

[wixie]

This girl... can she stop ruining the experience for her fans  I deeply enjoy Malibu and Younger Now (more than her Bangerz era), now all I'm gonna think about is her trashing the era. Should I even bother stanning her disco era, 2 years laters she's gonna say "I was affected by how everyone was going disco in 2k20 and that's why i did it, it's not really me." 

[Groundbreaking]

Malibu is one of best songs of hers to me, in addition, I would even say it's one of her best releases to date and yet she had to pull out her Arjana Grande card a diss her previous work.  I mean what was the reason Miley? Anyway, let's be real here for a moment, she's rather single artist than album artist, therefore I do understand her shading the album.  In addition, more things in her career do not make sense so  Moreover, I do not understand her illustrating former partners as evil beings (in certain way). Having felt unhappy in the relationships, she should have left immediately. Her saying she was lost in someone else's times is so  If she does better alone, she should better stick with that. 
Can't way her shading Mother's Daughter and Midnight Sky within next few years. 

[Tprez]

That's why she's not as successful as other artists out there with not so great voices,  she can't commit to her work. Most of the times i feel like she is bored with something even before she releases it.

I am pretty sure here: " and it's not to villainize  the partner, but you lose yourself in someone else some times." 

she is talking about her relationship with her ex. And the younger now/malibu era was all about it

Does it make any sense, doesnt it?

Yea just continue stanning. Her opinion on the work doesn't gotta match yours If you love the music then continue loving it! 

[MX3]

triggered - I felt 'younger now' was going back to her roots and was true to who she was. 

[Anitta Elusive Chanteuse]

Just like we ignore Britney Jean’s existence 

[Gayseus911]

She needs to trash that trash EP she released for free, that's what needs to be trashed 

[Fabricio Alex]

I absolutely HATE when artists shades their past works... I bet theres a TON of people who LOVE that album and this speech (probably) its a bummer for them.

I HAAAAAAATED when Britney said by the very end of "live in Miami" that she never really liked that song [Sometimes] anyway.

You dont say that! SOMETIMES is a CUUUUUUUTE POP BOP! The video... her look... the dance moves...

[Godney'sSweetCheeks]

Malibu was cute and sweet. The only thing missing was Liam from the MV - that would've been INTENSE 

[SpearsSpearsBrit]

I love Miley... but it bothers me so much that when an era begins, she speaks ill of her previous catalogs. Woman, can you please have something clear? Where is your damn credibility? ridiculous 

[TSmidnighTS]

This is a huge bummer because I think Younger Now was great? It was a departure from the craziness and she got to visit her country roots a little bit. Girl, you love all kinds of music and that’s not bad. Just because you like something else right now doesn’t mean your previous work is invalid. It’s a chapter of your life. We all have things we don’t like from our past but it made us who we are. Being able to own that and appreciate them for different reasons now is what makes someone mature   Sorry mileyboo, guess you’re not mature enough to accept that

I think everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. She isn't shading her previous works, she evolved as a person and grew.. That's what people do, they create things based on the person they are at the time. She changed and has some reflections on it.

This is just like comparing to when Britney said she can't believe she danced with a snake, or did a bunch of crazy things. People grow..

This is just her growing in front of our eyes. Nothing shady about it really.. This is normal human behaviour.

THIS. I feel kinda bummed enjoying Sometimes ever since just because of this. Yes my opinion don't have to match the artist's but still the idea of them hating their work that I very much enjoy is always somewhere there in my head. 

[NachoCheese]

she jumped on a 'pop country' trend and now she's doing it with disco revival

she needs to make that coin...soooo.

[Invitation]

Girl please...

She delivered one of her most affectious performances with Malibu

 

[Barajas]

-When Cant be tamed: "I dont want to be related to Hanna Montana anymore"
-When Bangerz: "I was not happy me being the perfect POP star"
-When Younger Now: "I was too raunchy, im not smoking weed anymore nor being so ******" 
-Whatever era she is now: "Younger now makes no sense".

I love Miley, her personality is great but I think she is still lost in her artistic direction.  She just said in an interview she scrapped a whole album (album that BTW she showed to Dua Lipa) and recorded Midnight Sky and filmed the video like in 5 days 

I think Malibu and Inspired from YN are cute .
