So, have you noticed that Miley Cyrus is back? After her cover interview for one of the major American magazines, she quickly got criticized for turning a cold shoulder to the hip hop genre that made her bigger as ever. It was not the fact that she chose a different genre for her comeback, but the way that she had put this decision into words in the interview. Something she corrected quickly on social media.
You could’ve seen it coming though. Miley wouldn’t and couldn’t continue on the path she was on. After several crazy years of attention craving and acting out, she kind of backed herself into a corner. I mean, how many levels of acceptable madness are there? She couldn’t go any further than she’d already gone. So, the only way was to tone it down again. And of course, her love life settling down is also really helpful for the decision making process.
What has surprised me though, is that she’s chosen a bit of bohemian country look and a country folk sound for her music. Following her dad’s footsteps, a little. I thought that was one of the things she was trying to get away from, besides the Hannah Montana legacy.
