March 10, 20232 yr Slide Away would have been PERFECT for this as an album closer Omg so true, I might have to make a playlist and tack it on.
March 10, 20232 yr Slide Away is one of, if not THE, most underrated Miley songs ever. Deserved so so much more, it's stunning.
March 10, 20232 yr Also really loving the album, so consistent! Flowers is actually one of my least favourites oop. Island, River, Wild Card, Muddy Feet and Violet Chemistry are my faves from first listen.
March 10, 20232 yr As predicted 'Island' has really grown massively on me and I *think* it's my favourite. I just love how breezy, easy going and summery it is. The mature and older sister to 'Malibu'.
March 10, 20232 yr I'm joining the 'Island' Love Train, deffo a highlight for me now after a day of the album on repeat. :wub: 'Rivers' is my overall favourite though. WHAT a single.
March 10, 20232 yr The first half is very underwhelming but the album picks up after that. Flowers is still my favourite, followed by Island. Edited March 10, 20232 yr by Sour Candy
March 10, 20232 yr Loving the album. "Violent Chemistry" is fast becoming one of my favourite songs of Miley's - hoping it'll get the single treatment at some point. After "River" I'm hoping they may go something like: 1. "Flowers" 2. "River" 3. "Jaded" 4. "Violent Chemsitry" 5. "Wildcard" I think we'll be lucky if they go beyond a 3rd single as very few artists seem to do this day. Unless maybe she releases a remixed version of a song with a feature. I can see "Violent Chemistry" working really well as a duet with each singer singing 1 verse and the chorus themelves separatley and then blending together for the final chorus. "Violent Chemsitry (feat. Harry Styles)" *_*
March 10, 20232 yr All of the best songs were on the second half huh? “Violet Chemistry” and “Island” in particular really hypnotized me and “Handstand” works perfectly as an interlude.
March 10, 20232 yr Yup agree with most people that the second half is muuuuch better than the first! Found everything up to "River" a little forgettable (or maybe the songs just need time to grow), but everything from there onwards is great. "Wonder Woman" might actually be my favourite on first listen, it's stunning. Absolutely love River too :wub: Edited March 10, 20232 yr by Lunar
March 10, 20232 yr Hmm. It's another Miley album for me — it has all the ingredients to be something special but is too inconsistent to make it over the line. I wish she fully committed to the hazy sunkissed LA sound that she really excels at. 'Slide Away' would have been perfect here at the end with 'Island'. Justice for 'Taste of My Own'
March 11, 20232 yr Justice for 'Taste of My Own' I'm so ashamed of myself as a Miley fan for never having heard this before! It's beautiful. :wub:
March 11, 20232 yr I think you need to put it in perspective , I think Flowers was a one off and connected with the public in a huge way. It's still doing well and will still likely go to #1 in the UK at least. She was foolish for only having one single leading into it though and not really doing too much in the way of promo.
March 11, 20232 yr She should've released it sooner, I think. Not as 'Flowers' starts to lose it's momentum. I think it would've benefitted her more that way.. she would have had more impulse buys/streams I think. Also, doing absolutely NOTHING promo wise and expecting it to sell just off the back of 'Flowers'? Her promo seems to be a bit better leading into the album/this week (I HIGHLY recommend her Backyard Sessions on Disney+ btw) but it's going to take more than that. EDIT: I don't think this is a flop by any stretch of the imagination though. It's just weird how 'Flowers' being the major streaming force it is, but then her album being just another Miley-sized album as opposed to being an album that's as big as it's lead single (if that makes sense)
