TEEN POP
After last year's double disc paired the Hannah Montana 2 soundtrack with Meet Miley Cyrus, the teen phenom completely breaks out from her TV character on her new album. Peppy and punchy, the result is a pop-rock set that finds Cyrus taking the first steps away from the tween scene, while still keeping one foot in Disney world. On the best track, the punk-spiked single "7 Things," she walks the fine line between bratty and bouncy. Think Avril lite. Meanwhile the dance-rocker "Fly on the Wall," with its snarling guitar riff, sounds like something out of the Ashlee school. With eight songs cowritten by Cyrus, the lyrics are age-appropriate. And on the lone cover, she puts the 15-year-old girl into "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
