And just like that - Miley Cyrus goes from tween starlet to full-on proper pop artist.
The daughter of Billy Ray has broken free of the squeaky clean Disney-friendly image established by her starring role in 'Hannah Montana', with her third album 'Can't be Tamed'. It's the obvious next step in the life of a pop princess; build up a clean virginal image, then take off most of your clothes and sing about more 'mature' subjects (see Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera etc.) The decent dance-pop lead title single and it's accompanying video ruffled quite a few feathers with it's Britney-esque 'provocative' outfits and sexy dance-routines, setting the tone that carries on through 'Can't be Tamed' of breaking free and rebelion. Well, as rebellious as Cyrus can be - she is, after all, still signed to Disney owned record label Hollywood Records and has one last series of 'Hannah Montana' to film.
Today's track is one of the only exceptions to that theme; the rock-pop ballad 'Take Me Along'. It's 'Don't Stop Believing'-like intro and emotional delivery make it Miley's most mature effort to date. With lyrics expressing the confusion and hurt of a love lost, it's likely to appeal to her core audience and if it receives single treatment it may be the breakthrough single Cyrus has yet to really have. Enjoy the track below.
