Bass Persuades Finds Miley Back on the Dance Floor, if Not Quite in Step: Review

Consequence · 43 minutes ago

On her tenth album, *Bass Persuades*, Miley returns to dance-pop while continuing the mature, genre-blending direction established by recent releases. The review finds the album’s club-oriented production persuasive and her vocals consistently strong, but argues that her lyrics often fail to match the music’s sophistication.

The title track creates dystopian nightclub atmosphere with dark synths and a catchy chorus, though several confusing lines weaken its message. “Different Religion”, featuring Model/Actriz, has an industrial sound but an underdeveloped religious metaphor, while “Let’s Get Married” offers a softer, welcome change and reflects Miley’s relationship with fiancé Maxx Morando. The album follows her experimentation on *Bangerz* and *Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz*, as well as the more assured *Endless Summer Vacation* and *Something Beautiful*.

  • Miley embraces dance-pop on her tenth album.
  • Strong production and vocals outweigh uneven lyrics.
  • Softer songs provide welcome emotional contrast.
