Review

Younger Now marks a noticeable shift for Miley Cyrus, trading in her edgy, rebellious image for a softer, country-tinged pop sound. There’s a sense of sincerity and self-reflection in tracks like “Malibu” and the title track, with Miley showcasing a more stripped-down, mature version of herself.

While the album has its heartfelt moments and solid vocals, it doesn’t always hit the mark. Some songs feel a bit too safe or repetitive, lacking the spark and boldness that made her previous work stand out. Still, it’s a respectable effort that shows her range and willingness to evolve, even if it doesn’t quite leave a lasting impact.

Younger Now is a gentle, introspective detour in Miley’s ever-changing journey—pleasant, but not her most memorable.
