Miley Cyrus announced the release of her fifth studio album, "Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz," and made it available for free streaming on SoundCloud. The event was a notable shift in her musical career, showcasing a departure from mainstream pop to a more experimental and psychedelic sound. The album was primarily written and produced by Cyrus herself, featuring collaborations with Wayne Coyne and other members of The Flaming Lips.
The project was unconventional in both its creation and distribution methods. By offering the album for free, Cyrus broke away from traditional album release models, challenging industry norms. This move allowed her more creative freedom, resulting in a collection of tracks that explored varied themes and sounds, diverging from her previous commercial work.
“Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz” included 23 tracks and featured guest appearances including Big Sean and Ariel Pink. Despite mixed critical reviews, with some praising its innovation and others criticizing its lack of cohesion, the album garnered significant attention for its bold approach.
The impact of the release was multifaceted. It reflected Cyrus's evolution as an artist willing to take risks and experiment with her music. Commercially, although it did not achieve typical sales milestones due to its free release, it was a significant digital success, drawing millions of streams. This strategy highlighted the increasing relevance of streaming platforms in the music industry.
