Miley Cyrus - Bangerz/Giveaway

Miley Cyrus recently dropped her new album, "Bangerz". The effort lives up to its title because the album is full of Bangerz. She was hands on having a co-writing credit on all but 2 tracks. She had a vision, she sought out those she wanted on this journey and made it happen. I admit when someone titles their album "Bangerz" it can sound a little arrogant but she backs it up. Here is a track by track review.

1. Adore You - This Stacy Barthe penned track is the perfect song to open the album with. Miley soulfully coo's and sings her way through this song beautifully. Probably the best track on the album. 5/5

2. We Can't Stop- The lead single, the first time we heard the "New Miley". It's content might be a little risque but the word play is brilliant. Solid. 4/5

3. SMS (Bangerz) featuring Britney Spears - Miley cockily chants her way through this Mike Will Made It production, while Britney makes a cameo. The song is fun, catchy and could have honestly done without the Britney verse but all in all, a solid effot. 4/5

4. 4x4 featuring Nelly - This Pharrell produced track is not necessarily bad but does not cohesively fit into the track list. The least solid track on the album to me. 2/5

5. My Darlin featuring Future - This track shows Miley and Future go note for note, word for word. Contains a sample of "Stand By Me" and delivers in a young, fresh way. I will admit Future is a feature heavy artist and that formula tends to get played out when one artist is on any and every song but his feature actually works for this track. Solid. 5/5

6. Wrecking Ball - This Dr. Luke produced power ballad is genius. I can not help but wonder what Beyonce` would sound like on this track considering it is one of her leftovers but Miley made it her own and is probably one of the best songs of 2013. Solid. 5/5

7. Love Money Party featuring Big Sean - Miley sing/raps and destroys this track. You will listen over and over and think "Did she just do that?". Yes, she did. Oh yeah, Big Sean makes a feature. 5/5

8. #GETITRIGHT - The Pharrell produced track sounds like 90's rnb mixed with 2013 funk. He redeemed himself with this contribution because "4x4" is..... Solid. 4/5

9. Drive- This song is not one of the best. It is not bad but it sure is not her best. It is what is referred to as a "filler track". One of the few songs I could take or leave. 3/5

10. FU featuring French Montana - This break up anthem gives me Amy Winehouse meets Kelis meets scorned chick. If you need a break up anthem to get you through, this is it. This track is just too amazing for words. 5/5

11. Do My Thang - An ode to those haters. No more words needed. Solid vocals, solid lyrics. 5/5

12. Maybe You're Right - A beautiful vocal delivery, her voice tells a story on this track. Brilliant writing also. Solid 4/5

13. Someone Else - She could not have chosen a better track to end the stander version of the album with. 4/5
