Miley Cyrus MCA Music, ‘Can’t Be Tamed’
Miley Cyrus as she sheds the last vestiges of Hannah Montana. Leaving the country tinged pop of “Party In The USA” and her previous albums (at least for the meantime), she goes into club party dance mode for her latest album, “Can’t Be Tamed.”
She opens up with the swanky dance of “Liberty Walk,” and as if the ear filling synth sounds is not surprise enough, Miley starts dropping rap like rhymes in the verses. It’s all in good taste, of course, you just need a moment to adjust to Miley’s new sound.
She continues down this road, adding euro tinged beats on tracks such as “Who Owns My Heart” and “Robot;” and then goes on a Ke$ha mode in “Permanent December.” Miley’s all about expressing herself these days and she says it all in the title track.
She, however, tones down the synthesizers on “Two More Lonely People,” allowing the “old” Miley to shine through in this driving pop rocker. The piano decked ballad “Forgiveness And Love,” which comes as a natural progression from “The Climb,” her reworking of Posion’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” and the lush “My Heart Beats For Love” are there to keep fans in the loop.
‘Simply… Suy’, Suy, Ivory Music
Acoustic pop covers galore! This is what you’ll get with Suy, the latest vocalist to bite into the creamy pie of "acoustic pop covers" that so many singers have already sunk their teeth into. Thankfully, she has the pipes to pull it off.
Rather than taking the soulful, bare bones route, Suy goes for a more soothing delivery. The calming vibe to her voice gives an added dimension to '80s faves like Tiffany’s “Could’ve Been” and Gloria Estefan’s “Words Get In The Way.”
Making use of an unadorned piano, Suy delivers her take on Debbie Gibson’s “Lost In Your Eyes” and Fra Lippo Lippi’s “Later;” then adds a box drum (kahon) to her fun, dead on mimicry of Lenka’s “The Show.”
Meanwhile, her covers of Earth Wind & Fire’s “Every Now & Then,” her original song, “You’re All That I Need” and her highly stylized version of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” give a sampling of Suy’s R&B roots.
All this, along with a duet with Paolo Santos for Jason Mraz and Colby Calliat’s “Lucky,” Mandy Moore’s “Cry,” and Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” make "Simply... Suy" one of the better acoustic pop covers albums around.
