In more Miley Cyrus news, the singer has made her album "Bangerz" available via live-stream on iTunes on Sept. 30, while the official release will be Oct. 8. Billboard says that it doesn't matter what people think about the album because Miley is the artist everyone is talking about and her sales are most likely going to surpass expectations. "Pop purveyors have expressed extremely diverse reactions to Cyrus' recent music and antics, but in a season in which Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake are all releasing new albums, "Bangerz" is the album everyone is craning their necks toward, because Cyrus is the artist everyone is talking about."
"Every time I do something, I want to remember, 'This is what separates me from everyone else,'" Cyrus says in the upcoming MTV documentary "Miley Cyrus: The Movement." And this time around, she took advantage of her musical connections and put together a group of producers and collaborators to work on her album that most artists dream of. "Bangerz" is Miley's fourth studio album and her debut with RCA Records, who have allowed her to get involved as much as she wanted with her upcoming project, including songwriting, where she proves that although many people think she's still a kid, she went through very adult emotions as her relationship with Liam Hemsworth crumbled down. The album also proves that her engagement had been in jeopardy for a while before the official "break-up statement."
In her new record, Miley gathered artists such as French Montana, Nelly, Pharell, Future, Big Sean and the most-talked about collaboration, Britney Spears. But it's the single with the latter that has everyone talking. Miley and the pop princess got together on the song "SMS (Bangerz)" which features Cyrus rapping bars and Spears singing verses. Of course, a shoutout to producer Mike WiLL Made-It was a highlight, and a beat very similar to Salt N Pepa's 1987 hit "Push It."
Of course, the album in general got mixed reviews. Jim Farber from Daily News wrote: "As you might guess, it's a mixed bag, the better to hedge as many bets as possible. As the former teen idol promised, roughly a quarter of the disc draws from the low-down sound of hip-hop's dirty south. That may seem like a bit of an odd choice, given the style's wizzened age. But a star this wily knows better: It's new to her demo, one that only recently scored the paper work to enter their first strip clubs legally." On the other hand, Billboard's Jason Lipshutz wrote: "'Bangerz' is neither the best nor worst pop album released this year, but it's inarguably the most fiercely individual. Never mind the 'z' at the end of the album title, because one thing Miley Cyrus' 'Bangerz' won't do is put you to sleep."
