Miley's Free Album: An Indulgent Experiment?
7 Sep
Summary
- Miley Cyrus released a free 23-track album independently.
- The album features collaborations with Flaming Lips members.
- Critics describe the project as an indulgent vanity project.
Miley Cyrus released "Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz," a sprawling 23-track album, as a free, independent project. Co-produced largely by Wayne Coyne and other members of The Flaming Lips, the collection was created outside of her record label's usual governance.
This ambitious release has been characterized by some as a "vanity project," an indulgent collection of experimental sounds. While the album features contributions from producers like Mike WiLL Made It, which are noted as bright spots, much of the material has been met with criticism for its experimental and, at times, unlistenable nature.
The project's ethos is encapsulated in tracks like "Dooo It!," which features themes of rebellion and self-expression. Cyrus, who was 22 at the time of the album's release, navigates personal and artistic freedom, though the album's indulgent scope has raised questions about artistic control versus creative freedom.
