We Can't Stop and We Won't Stop
The young pop star has fully broken out of her Hannah Montana shadow, releasing her new hit "We Can't Stop," a provocative tune in which she discusses intense partying and drug use.
Yesterday I was searching through the depths of Youtube and wandered upon Miley Cyrus' VEVO of the new music video. The first words that came to mind after watching included "what" "the" and "hell" and a whole lot of confusion. Within this daze, I watched it again, and again, and again. Many songs produced include deep bass drops, club beats and lack of content but Cyrus tones it back some. She includes synthesizer and basic drums, but incorporates gentle piano that creates an easier listening experience. We're all shocked when she starts making out with a doll, twerking, squeezing her friends' butts and gyrating across the screen but that seems to be the point isn't it? Truthfully, none of us would be happy if it was anything less than out of this world on the crazy spectrum. The lyrics are basic and easy to understand, ironically Miley sounds a lot like Molly which aided her in the drug discussion department, but they do hold some musical and emotional content, "It's our party we can love who we want," addresses a conflict many teens face when explaining to their guardians or parents their sexual orientation.
The track was definitely not intended to be an innocent piece, it was meant to spark controversy and inspire young people to never stop being themselves, enjoy their youth, and remind us to "Forget the haters because somebody loves ya."
