Technically Miley Cyrus's second solo album--the first being MEET MILEY CYRUS, the latter part of HANNAH MONTANA 2--2008's BREAKOUT finds the energetic young superstar drawing a distinct line between herself and her blonde-wig-wearing TV character. This shedding of MONTANA persona gives the outing the assertive feel of a debut, as readily heard on the triumphant title track and the jangly, fast-paced "7 Things." Cyrus also takes on Cyndi Lauper's 1980s hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," imbuing the giddy tune with the same kind of 21st-century sheen that No Doubt gave to Talk Talk's "It's My Life." Naturally, Billy Ray's daughter makes room for some introspective ballads during the second half of BREAKOUT, with "Bottom of the Ocean" and "Four Walls" distinguishing themselves as moody and mature songs that expand Miley's teeny-bopper sound. There are no major curveballs on BREAKOUT, just accessible pop/rock tracks that showcase a steadily developing artist in the spotlight. Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (p.69) - "BREAKOUT's best tunes let Cyrus be feisty without graduating to Avril-like levels of petulance: 'Full Circle,' 'The Driveway,' and the single '7 Things,' which veers from sensitive breakup song in the strummy verses to punky-pop kiss-off in the double-time choruses." -- Grade: B Producer: John Fields; Scott Cutler Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Quantity Available: 8 UPC: 050087123536 Studio/Live: Studio Release Date: 22 July 2008

From the Artist

this is the first solo album from miley cyrus, aka disney's hannah montana! she is now forming her own image as a solo artist away from her hannah montana persona. this album is a bit more grown up than any of the songs she did for the hannah soundtrack, and deals with some serious issues like love in songs like "7 things", about a guy who drives her crazy but at the same time she cant stop loving him. a few of the songs lack lustre like full circle, but the album as a whole is fairly cohesive, and there are some real standout tracks which elevate the album to a higher level. a must have for miley fans!

My daughter absolutely loves Miley's new cd. A very different sound for her. 7 things is really a great song. Breakout is another favourite and her cover of Cindi Lauper's "Girls just wanna have fun" is actually a great cover. I'm not a lover of songs covered especially since I was a fan of the original but she's done a great job on it. Four walls is sung beautifully. All in all I think it's a great first cd for Miley breaking away from the Hannah Montana image. As usual in a cd there is always a couple of songs one dosen't really like as much as others. But what I do like is how different she can sound on Fly on the wall to Breakout. I think any Miley fan will love the cd.
