From teen pop princess to rock ‘n’ roll renegade, Miley Cyrus has literally reinvented herself more times than we can count, perhaps even more than artists change outfits on tour. She’s a music legend, a little bit country, a little bit wrecking ball, and a whole lot of can’t-stop-won’t-stop. One minute she’s roaring her goddess vibes, the next she’s belting heartache in glam-rock perfect. Honestly, she’s an icon who doesn’t just drop albums, she drops ears, moods, and chaos in the best way possible.

Let’s talk about her voice. Perfectly golden, gritty, that gives you chills whether she’s covering Metallica or crooning country soul. Each album of Cyrus comes with a flipped script, shattering expectations, and somehow making mullets cool again. And honestly, she can’t be ignored.

Cyrus is the queen of rebellion, reinvention, and raspy-voiced realness. So, if you’ve ever cried,...

Trace Cyrus is slamming Katy Perry.

Following the 40-year-old “Dark Horse” singer’s controversial trip to space, Trace, 36, took to Instagram to share a video accusing her of copying his sister Miley Cyrus‘ career.

“I first knew Katy Perry and her team were lame as f–k when her career was first dying,” Trace started. “And they were like, ‘Hm, what can we do? Well, what worked for Miley? She cut her hair off and it broke the internet and everyone freaked out and she bleached it blonde. We should do that with you, Katy.’”

Keep reading to find out more…Miley, 32, notably cut her hair into a pixie cut and bleached it back in 2012. Katy debuted a similar hairstyle in 2017.

Trace recalled Miley working with Mike WiLL Made-It, Wiz Khalifa, and Juicy J on her 2013 album Bangerz for a more “hip-hop” sound to her music, before pointing out that...

In 2018, Kendrick Lamar was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Kendrick Lamar was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music for releasing his fourth studio album, Damn. Before then, all previous musicians had been awarded the honor for their contributions to either the jazz or classical music genres. This marked the first time that someone outside of either genre was given the prestigious honor.

As much as this distinction paints Kendrick Lamar as a distinguished musician, winning the Pulitzer Prize has put the Compton rapper under scrutiny. At the time, the moment was highly controversial. Music purists questioned why a rap album was deserving of a Pulitzer, while passionate hip-hop heads debated whether Damn. was worthy of winning a Pulitzer, let alone being the first rap album to win such an award.

Before explaining why Damn. is so deserving of the award and why some may dispute that, it's worth breaking...

Why Was Miley Cyrus Sued Over This 2013 Hit Song? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

In 2018, Miley got hit with serious legal heat over We Can’t Stop. Jamaican songwriter Michael May, aka Flourgon, dropped a $300 million lawsuit on her, saying she jacked his 1988 reggae banger We Run Things. Talk about a wild claim.

The heart of the beef? Flourgon argued Miley’s song “substantially incorporated” his vocal style, rhythm, and melody. The kicker? Both songs have an almost identical hook. Flourgon’s lyric was, “We run things. Things no run we.” Miley’s? “We run things. Things don’t run we.” It’s somewhat hard to ignore that, right?

May wasn’t just going after Miley Cyrus—he went after her whole crew, including producers Mike WiLL Made-It, Rock City, and the big players over at RCA Records and Sony Music. He wasn’t just looking for a payday, either. He wanted...

Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, and Mikę Will Made-It chart some serious highs and serious lows in the new music video for their recent collaborative single, “High3r.”

The visual jumps between close-up shots of the three artists performing the song and three different vignettes that play off the themes of “High3r.” In the first, a couple’s euphoric night turns horrific after one too many pills; in the second, a wild joy ride ends with a seemingly inevitable crash; and in the last, a lovelorn pharmacists finds himself on...

When he takes our Zoom call, Tay Keith is on the move in Nashville, where he’s set up shop for Drumatized, the multifaceted company he runs with three of his former Middle Tennessee State University classmates.

Keith, 27, who grew up in Memphis, executive produced In Sexyy We Trust, the followup to the rapper’s 2023 EP that many publications (including Rolling Stone...

Elon Musk probably has this music video on loop.

On Monday, Future and Metro Boomin released the video for their We Don’t Trust You song “Young Metro,” which sees the pair of musicians posing and dancing in front of a Tesla Cybertruck.

Then, The Weeknd, wearing a black bandana over his face,...

Mumbai, Aug 25 (Ians) Popstar Miley Cyrus has released her new song ‘Used To Be Young’ along with its music video. The song is highly melancholic, and features delicate acoustic instrumentation, before cutting to a strong climax which amplifies the track’s nature and its emotionality.

Keeping with the theme of the Right Said Fred-inspired single, the Ethan Iverson-directed visual finds the brothers Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi modeling clothes and living large. The song’s producer Mike Will-Made-It and reality star Sukihana cameo in the clip.

On the track, Rock raps, “Send a stepper up the stairway to heaven, I’m a vet/ Put up a pole dancer in a Mercedes.” In the video, he mirrors the lyrics by showing up to the party in a red Mercedes SUV equipped with a stripper pole (and a stripper) on the roof.

Miley Cyrus fans have something special to look forward to this year: a new album - and now we have the official tracklist. On Feb. 27, Cyrus unveiled the titles of all 13 songs on "Endless Summer Vacation" via an Instagram video, which also revealed that the album features none other than Sia and Brandi Carlisle as featured artists.

Back on Jan. 12, Cyrus dropped the album's first single, "Flowers," along with the accompanying music video. The song is an exuberant ode to self-love, with the refrain "I can love me better than you can" hammering home Cyrus's message: she's not sacrificing her peace for anyone.

She also seems to reference ex-husband Liam Hemsworth in the first verse. "We were right 'til we weren't / Built a home and watched it burn," she sings, which appears referring to the home she and Hemsworth shared in Malibu that was destroyed by the 2018 Woosley Fire.

Miley Cyrus‘ eighth album Endless Summer Vacation is just days away, and she’s sharing more details about what fans can expect on the project, out March 10. On Monday, Cyrus revealed the 12-song tracklist for her new album, featuring songs with Sia and Brandi Carlile.

Miley Cyrus has a New Year gift for all her fans. The singer-actress will be releasing a new single, titled ‘Flowers’ on January 13.

The announcement came when a video showing Cyrus strutting through a street played after a commercial break, reports People magazine.

In the clip, the ‘Prisoner’ singer wore a gold mini dress that exposed her stomach, as a snippet of the upcoming tune played. “New Year, New Miley, New Single. Flowers January 13 (sic),” then flashed across a black background in white lettering.

As per People magazine, back in November, talk about new music from Cyrus began to circulate online after the ‘Angels Like You’ songstress reunited in the studio with music producer Mike WiLL Made-It, with whom she worked on her fourth studio album Bangerz in 2013.

At the time, hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd shared a series of photographs on Instagram from a studio session, where Cyrus appeared to be making some new music.

Alicia Keys has announced a deluxe edition of her 2021 “double-sided” album Keys that boasts new songs, remixes and more.

Keys II, out Aug. 12, features both the “Originals” version and the Mike Will Made-It-produced “Unlocked” version of the album, which Rolling Stone called Keys’ “most ambitious” album to date, “going from torch ballads to dance tracks and spanning decades with ease.”

The new tracks include “Trillions” featuring Brett Faiyaz — Keys also appears on “Ghetto Gatsby” on Faiyaz’ new album — and “Stay” with Lucky Daye, who previously featured on Keys’ “Come for Me” alongside Khalid.

2021 has seen its share of albums in which major artists meet huge expectations with supersize tracklists — records like Drake’s 86-minute Certified Lover Boy and Kanye West’s punishingly enormous Donda. Now you can add Alicia Keys to the list of A-list epic-makers. Keys, her eighth album, is a 26-song double-lp. But Alicia has never been one for self-indulgence, so she’s neatly divvied the project up into two distinct, easily digestible collections: Originals is, as she puts it, a set of “laidback piano vibes,” while almost all of its...

Outside, it’s rush hour, a still-sunny spring evening in Atlanta, but in here, you’d never know it. This room is windowless and dark, illuminated only by a projector shooting shimmering green stars onto the ceiling, a computer monitor displaying Pro Tools, and the glowing rack of gear beneath it. The air seems composed mostly of high-grade kush smoke, accompanied by just enough oxygen to sustain life. On a shelf in the corner are liter bottles of sugary sodas – Sprite, Pineapple Sunkist, Strawberry Fanta – mixers for a bottle of...

Producer Mike WiLL Made-It went from big to huge in a few short years. He started his career with eccentric Mc Gucci Mane and then quickly worked his way up the latter, producing beats for Rick Ross, 2 Chainz and Kanye West. Earlier this year, he served as the co-executive producer on Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz album. Now, he’s closing out the year with a remix of Future’s “Sh!t,” which adds P. Diddy and Schoolboy Q to the mix and is off the upcoming #MikeWiLLBeenTrill mixtape.

See Which...
