(Ad-Free) Ambition vs. Restraint: A Deep Dive into Miley Cyrus and Addison Rae

Miley’s a legacy act in flux. Addison’s a newcomer who might actually get it. In this episode, we break down two very different pop albums from two very different artists: Miley Cyrus’s "Something Beautiful" and Addison Rae’s debut "Addison." We dig into the critical response, the commercial fallout, the production choices, and the cultural weight (or lack thereof) of both records. Is Miley trying too hard to be taken seriously? Is Addison… kind of a genius?

Comments

He also has a massive issue with Wolf Alice, and they have a frontwoman (Ellie Rowsell)—he gave their 2021 masterpiece a 4 (to be fair, EVERYONE in the comments called him out on it & disagreed with the assessment) and as far as I'm aware, he hasn't reviewed their new release The Clearing yet. So yeah it wouldn't shock me if he actually is biased against women artists (whether it's subconscious bias or not, idk).

Anthony Fantano pisses me off to no end. He literally compares every female artist to Lana del Rey. He called Ethel Cain a Lana del Rey rip off. In his folklore review he said cardigan was a Lana del Rey rip off. I honestly think he and his audience hate women

An idea: Zach your window shopping videos are the funniest things on YouTube to me. Not as conducive to a podcast I guess but somehow could be tweaked for it? With both of u obv? Would love to see it 💘
