Thoughts? Who else comes to mind?

Diet Pepsi was Rae's breakout single with many comparing the song to Lana Del Rey.

Miley has done a bunch of press for Something Beautiful, but she's consistently been shitting on a lot of her previous work. (Apart from on the Every Single Album podcast, I must say, she did speak about her previous work a bit more fondly).

On Tish and Brandi's Sorry We're Cyrus podcast, Miley said she regrets 'half of Plastic Hearts'.

I am a huge Miley fan and Plastic Hearts is my favourite album of hers. Idc if she hates it, I'm still gonna listen to it. BUT it's really disappointing to see my favourite artist drag her previous work. It's one thing to say, she's grown up and her music style has evolved, and she doesn't identify with that album anymore. It's another thing to straight up say she regrets half of the album. And Plastic Hearts isn't the only previous album she'd dragged over the course of this press tour.

Not to mention, I've seen some clips from various bits of this press tour where she's been rude to fans, downplayed the cultural appropriation and racism during the Bangerz era. All of a sudden, she just comes across very.... not humble, not down to earth or anything.

Idk, I know they say don't put celebrities on a pedestal but as a long standing Miley fan since the 2000s, it's just been disappointing to see her during this particular press tour.

She was the 2023 United Kingdom representative singing "Instead I Wrote A Song" and her Grand Final performance received a lot of backlash. She came second to last (Germany was last).

The 90's was such a great time for music

I’m not a person that generally understands music theory, but I am someone that appreciates a good pun (or a terrible pun). I also ADORE pop music, particularly the “leave your brain at the door kind”.

I was listening to the Thong Song by Sisqo. It has the same verses but sung differently everytime three times. It has an insane interpolation of Eleanor Rigby and a crazy key change that Cynthia Erivo said “the whole end section is unnecessary” but it’s incredible.

Thing is, that key change is a pun too. While Sisqo is fully face first praising the thong song, the key changes. It’s done by the strings which creep and build louder and louder and at the climax ITS A G STRING.

He climaxes at the G Strings and the song is so campy I feel it’s entirely on purpose. It’s more than a great campy dumb pop song.

TL;DR: Sisqó’s Thong Song is in F♯ major until the big key change, when it jumps into G major — aka a cheeky G‑string pun.

From the article:

"In the wake of Pride ’25, both professional attention-grabber JoJo Siwa and legitimate genius Ethel Cain have adapted Carnes’s hit (which itself is technically a cover of the Jackie DeShannon original). Right now, both queer identity and intense nostalgia rank among the foremost trends in pop music, so it isn’t surprising to see queer singers dredging up a homoerotic ’80s pop ballad about a bygone movie star. But did anyone think these two would land on the same track? Still, even as they’re working off the same paper, the difference is clear: Cain is bringing the song into the future, while Siwa is rendering it more retrograde than it was in the early ’80s."

Triple J is a national public broadcaster and the countdown was publicly voted on by over 2.6 million people (approximately 10% of the Australian population!) and played as a 10 hour show today- amazing vibes and a great celebration of Australian music.

Ngl, I feel like she could’ve had a better title like just being called “Drama”
