Miley Cyrus has been quiet for a moment, but she is ready for a huge comeback. The 28-year-old music star wants attention, and she is getting a lot of it.
The Tennessee native is featured in the latest issue of Interview Magazine. The “Wrecking Ball” singer goes topless and had an interesting exchange with Lars Ulrich from Metallica.
Cyrus leaves little to the imagination in some of the photos, and she seems happy while doing it. The sizzling photoshoot took place on her Nashville farm.
Interestingly, the controversial pop star also goes deep on what it means to be an artist. Cyrus also does not hold back on the perceived misconceptions about her talent and craft.
A very confident Cyrus has made some statements in the interview that have the Internet talking. She boldly called herself a “rock star.”
The “Party in the U.S.A.” artist told Ulrich: “Yeah, I really am a rock star. I love having these authentic, real rock dudes in my band. We even revisit songs that I wrote before I was able to make this huge sonic pivot in my career before I discovered rock and roll. Now, we cover my own songs. We take my original songs, and turn them on their head, and make them kick ass.”
This is something that had a lot of reactions. Critics say that Cyrus’s antics on stage and in the media have long taken over her music.
The naysayers say the outrageous photos accompanying the interview convey the same point. For the people going after her, music is longer her main selling point.
A few commenters have accused the talented singer of trying too hard. However, the interview does reveal something interesting about Cyrus.
She might appear carefree, but she does put a lot of herself in her art. Surprisingly, some critics she has heard about her music stayed with her.
Cyrus revealed: “My whole life, whether in vocal training or just continuing to hone my craft, it’s always been about, ‘Why do you sound like a man? Where’s your f–king falsetto, bitch? Why can’t you sing the high octave of ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ anymore?’. In this song, I get to sing in that low register, and I get to live in that authentic, genuine sound.”
She also added: “My voice is how I represent myself. It’s how I express myself. I’ve worked with so many people who tell me, ‘We’re going to have to bring in a singer to hit those high parts.’ You know, ‘falsetto’ is this Latin term for when a boy goes through puberty, but they still want him to sing in the choir. It means ‘false’…I don’t have a false voice.”
It is clear; people should not leave over-the-top pictures to fool them. Cyrus seems to feel her music deeply.
