“I think I’m doing quite well.”

It’s been obscured now by all the twerking and Wayne Coyne collaborations, but Miley Cyrus’ origins lie in country music. On her new Younger Now, the best cuts are the ones where she clings to those still-strong Tennessee roots. Here she even duets with godmother Dolly Parton—preceded by a voicemail from Parton, so we…

Every Friday, dozens of new records are released into the wild. Some make big splashes, and others sink almost immediately. For most music consumers, it’s almost too much information, and save for those precious few who spend their hours glued to review sites and release calendars, it’s hard to know what’s coming out…

Although she’s only 24, ever-busy pop star Miley Cyrus is apparently just as capable of nostalgia as the rest of us; per Pitchfork, she released a new backward-looking single tonight, “Younger Now,” the title track from her upcoming album. Younger Now is due out September 29.

If Miley Cyrus wanted the world to know that she was all grown up with her last album, Bangerz, her next record is sending the message that she’s Younger Now. What sure sounds like a reference to Cyrus’ recent return to wholesome pop after four years or so of provocative drug-fueled weirdness was announced earlier…

The One Love Manchester concert was held today in England to benefit the victims of the May 22 bombing outside of an Ariana Grande concert that left 22 people dead and 119 injured, and it featured a number of powerful and emotional performances from a number of huge music stars—particularly Grande herself. Despite the…

The benefit concert for the victims of the Manchester terrorist attack that Ariana Grande announced on Friday has been scheduled for June 4 at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground. The event is expected to feature a lineup of stars including Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams,…

Having officially finished her trippy Wayne Coyne phase, Miley Cyrus has released a conventional new single, ”Malibu,” about chilling with a love interest in California. (Said romantic partner, Billboard notes, is presumably Liam Hemsworth.) The video, meanwhile, finds Cyrus traipsing around a beach and a field,…

At this point, it’s more-or-less a given that you can’t spend much time with The Flaming Lips without running into Miley Cyrus. Cyrus and Lips frontman Wayne Coyne have been working together since 2014, when the band joined the “Wrecking Ball” star on the tour for her fourth studio album, Bangerz. Since then, they’ve…

If the GIF is the preeminent art form of the 21st century, then the High Quality GIFs subreddit is the virtual salon where the medium’s best and brightest meet to show off their work and compare notes. Recently, 17 members of this Reddit community collaborated on an ambitious project: a four-minute GIF tribute to…

The week’s two biggest television premieres arrive with plenty of baggage. Sunday marks the delayed opening of HBO’s Westworld, a sign that you can’t stop progress, no matter how many objections you have to a legal waiver involving genital-to-genital contact. Two days prior, Amazon will introduce Crisis In Six Scenes,…

NBC’s The Voice is starting to resemble a game of giant, rotating, musical chairs, with Variety reporting today that coaches Pharrell Williams and Christina Aguilera are departing the show, to be replaced by an incoming Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys. The switch-off will come after the end of the show’s current tenth…

I feel fortunate to have been introduced to PJ Harvey earlier, and differently, than how much of southeast Washington D.C. was introduced to her.

Like his famous father, television personality Alan Thicke, Robin Thicke toiled as a songwriter before he became famous himself, dating back to the unfortunately titled Color Me Badd song “Sexual Capacity” in 1996. A slew of songwriting credits followed, including Christina Aguilera’s smash self-titled debut and…

It’s not easy being Miley Cyrus—which might explain why only one person has so far pulled it off. The “Wrecking Ball” singer has spent years now walking on the soap-thin bubble of public perception that divides “self-destructing hot mess,” “attention-seeking provocateur,” and “legitimate, credible artist,” always…

In what surely must be part of a bet with Lady Gaga over who can EGOT first, Deadline reports that noted pot leaf and glitter enthusiast Miley Cyrus has signed on to star in Woody Allen’s upcoming Amazon show. She won‘t be alone, though, as Elaine May and Allen himself are also set to star in the series. However,…

Shortly after the 2013 Grammys—when the two of them were arguably at the height of their command of both the zeitgeist, and the capslock key of internet commenters everywhere—artists/human lightning rods Miley Cyrus and Kanye West briefly teamed up for a never-released song. Now, the track—a remix of “Black Skinhead,”…
