Plastic Hearts is reinvention without apology. Raw, gritty, and emotionally charged, the album captures Miley Cyrus embracing rock not as an aesthetic phase, but as a language for survival. It’s loud, wounded, glamorous, and deeply human, a record that turns excess into truth.
Sonically, the album dives into glam rock, pop-rock, and 80s-inspired grit. Distorted guitars, driving drums, and analog textures dominate the production, giving the record a sense of urgency and physicality. Miley’s voice sits at the center (raspy, powerful, and unfiltered) carrying both defiance and vulnerability.
Lyrically, Plastic Hearts explores self-destruction, loneliness, desire, heartbreak, and resilience. Fame is not glamorized; love is not romanticized. Miley sings from inside chaos, but with clarity. There’s pain here, but also control, the strength that comes from naming your own fractures.
What earns Plastic Hearts 4.4 stars is its total commitment. Every track reinforces the same emotional and sonic identity. There are no safe detours, no attempts to soften the blow. The album knows exactly what it wants to be and never breaks character.
Plastic Hearts is not a detour in Miley’s career, it’s a statement. Fierce, cohesive, and emotionally fearless, it stands as one of the most convincing pop-rock albums of its decade.
