i love miley. i love her sound, her rasp, her vocal range, etc. but this album just didn’t do it for me ? for starters i feel like this project was rushed for whatever reason…on top of that the marketing around it - when you drop "bass persuades" as your single and make it the title of the album i was thinking she’d have some super fun dance / pop tracks on here but it was more ballad focused. not saying everything had to be upbeat but outside of bass persuades itself …nothing else was really fun and upbeat. i thought the songs would be about having fun and being free, dancing, letting loose, etc. because that’s how it was marketed on socials but it was more love song centric. not a bad thing just an observation. though the album got a lot of backlash saying it was bland and all i do have to acknowledge the pros:
- bass persuades is fun and upbeat
- let's get married is a sweet love song
- aftermath has a good juxtaposition between the vocals and the UK garage house type beat
- REDLIGHTS has a cool discoish vibe to the track

giving it a 2.5 given the pros listed above but couldn't rate it much higher because it did feel a bit rushed to me personally, and i just don't see myself revisiting this album much.
